MCE Central & Eastern Europe 2017, Riga: The WOW effect

MCE Central & Eastern Europe is free from event visitors and putting all the attention on the building of relations between the two selected participant sides. With all these participants spending a full 2.5 days together, during which they network, benchmark, do business and enjoy time together with receptions, dinners and parties, one can realize these 2.5 days are very well spent.

The by Europe Congress organized, M.I.C.E B2B events, all have this unique feature, all created to create business synergy and drive M.I.C.E business forwards. Managing Director of Europe Congress, Alain Pallas states: “It has been proven that face-to-face meetings are the keys nowadays to the start of a business relation. Yet with just the meeting we’re merely creating that introduction. The true value of a business relation lies in the trust that is being built by getting to know each other better. This leads to an optimized cohesion in understanding and being able to deliver each other the values that both parties in fact are seeking. Our event programs are built to effectively use the maximum time available during our busy personal and professional lives, yet are varied to keep brain activity to the maximum, and keep all event participants together for the entire duration of the event. Result: The optimal start of flourishing business relations and the base of the satisfying results that keep the Europe Congress team moving forwards.”
