Slovenia is perhaps still regarded as a relatively
new destination, despite having been
on the European conference map since the
1980’s. Th is Central European country is a
land where the colourful and relaxed Mediterranean
world blends with the effi ciency
of Alpine countries.
Th e tradition of holding congresses in Slovenia
goes back as far as 1821, when the
Congress of the Holy Alliance was held in
Ljubljana. Today’s advantages of this young
EU country are easy accessibility, geographic
and cultural diversity, meeting facilities
with state-of-the-art technical support as
well as exciting gastronomy allied to superb
wines and genuine hospitality. Dedicated
and experienced professional congress organisers,
destination management companies,
event and incentive agencies guarantee
the success of your event and that you
will get good value for money.
Slovenia is blessed with a remarkable variety
of landscapes, and thus events may be
planned in cities, at the seaside, in Alpine
resorts, spas or in the countryside, perhaps
in an attractive historic building. Th ere are
full-service congress centres that can welcome
up to 2,000 delegates and convention
hotels with capacities for up to 1,100 delegates
at your service. Incentive companies
with diverse creative programmes round off
the off er.
GREEN FACT
