2016 European Festival Advisory Board to meet in Courmayeur
Companies’ representatives, media, European agencies and associations will gather in Courmayeur on 1st April to define the format of the 2016 European Festival of Events and Live Communication, which will be held in St. Petersburg on 13-15th October.
Following the success of EuBea Festival and EuBea Awards – which this year will celebrate its 11th edition in St. Petersburg, 13-15th October, with the collaboration of Live Communication Group – ADC Group intends to strengthen, consolidate and continuously improve what has become ‘the place to be’ for the European event community.
In order to achieve this, three years ago ADC Group established an Advisory Board made up of the presidents of European events associations, journalists of leading publications in the field of events and a selection of company managers who had been part of the jury of European Bea Awards.
The Advisory Board’s mission is to improve the format of the European Festival of Events and Live Communication, but above all to adapt it to the changes and innovations on the market. The participants of the Advisory Board are thus called to redefine the guidelines of the festival, propose topics and international speakers, discuss the announcement and the categories of the competition, examine the voting system and come up with new ideas.
The Advisory Board will gather on 1st April in Courmayeur (Val d’Aosta). The work session will be held at the brand new Skyway Mont Blanc.
