Our participants are professionals and know a lot, вut sometimes just one phrase heard at the Forum is enough to find an answer to a long-awaited answer
PROGRAMME

EFEA 2020 key topic:

"Sustainability code in the events industry. People. Planet. Profit"

We live in a very dynamic world but paradoxically need sustainability to move further and develop our events industry businesses and ourselves. So we decided to discuss this duality at EFEA 2020 to look for answers – how to be sustainable and move further at the same time? What is sustainability in the events industry? We look forward to this deep discussion with you and all the colleagues from the industry!

Full programme 2020 is on its way and we will be ready to publish it soon. To get information about participating in EFEA as a speaker, please, contact Elena Chetyrkina by chetyrkina@rnc-consult.ru

Participants of the Forum speak the same language – we all are partners and colleagues.
