Program 2021

MEETEX 2021 PROGRAM – BOTH VIRTUAL AND LIVE EXPERIENCE!

Although quite new as a project, MEETEX has after only two editions already become the flagship event of the Meetings Industry in Croatia, and challenging times will not stop us. Due to the global COVID-19 crisis, in March 2021 we will not meet physically, however we have planned an innovative program, setting a platform for you Meeting Professionals Worldwide to be inspired by our fascinating destination, to interact with colleagues and to meet new ones, to exchange ideas and to prepare yourself for the Industry of Tomorrow!

2021 might just as well be the most important year in this decade in terms of preparation to returning to normality, and let's show how crisis can also mean new opportunities!

All Buyers participating in MEETEX 2021 Working week are eligible for what is following in September as a second part of MEETEX 2021, and it is....

MEETEX 2021 Live Experience

MEETEX 2021 Live Experience is scheduled to happen in September 2021, as a FAMTRIP in Croatia, because we are all aware that nothing can replace a personal touch and on-site experience. It is planned to be a one longer FAM TRIP for a larger group of buyers (chosen by Exhibitors in post-MEETEX working week survey) covering 5 most important Croatian Meetings Destination... or it will be a number of shorter trips for smaller groups and for selected destinations.

As this is a live component of MEETEX 2021, it will obviously rely on epidemiological situation in Croatia and generally in Europe as well as on sponsors and supporters. We all want to make sure that Buyers can fully enjoy Croatia – its destinations, venues, local culture & cuisine while traveling with assurance and confidence. Safety, professionalism, and fun will be our priorities.

Stay tuned for the future updates and register asap!
