WOT is a partner of the Poland Meetings Destination conference as part of Meetings Week Poland 2021

On April 22-23 it will take place Meetings Week Poland 2021. This is a series of educational and promotional events for the Polish meetings industry, which this year will take place online. Following the example of previous editions, this year, as part of the Poland Meetings Destination session, of which WOT-WCB is a partner, we will discuss key issues for the meetings industry in a different reality with decision-makers and experts.

More than a year after the first economic freeze caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we already know for sure that the world we remember from a dozen or so months ago will not return to square one. We are witnesses and participants in the beginning of a new era. What will the meetings industry 2.0 be like, i.e. our industry after adapting to the most important changes in the sphere of security of contacts, travel, and the use of the latest communication technologies? How to survive without losing sight of the prospect of development and professional success in the new reality? How, finally, not to miss the opportunities for the Polish meetings market and individual business projects? Opportunities that undoubtedly accompany a sudden collapse or a complete change in the course of the previous paths towards success and prosperity in the industry.

We hope that the answers to these and other important questions will be provided by the session of speeches and mini panels that the organizers have planned this year.
