42 meeting planners, conference centre and convention bureau specialists gathered to work towards the CMM (Certification in Meeting Management) and the GCMBEII (Global Certificate in Meetings and Business Events II) qualifications, two widely recognised event industry certifications. The programmes were the first of a series to be delivered at SKEMA, one of MPI’s Global Training Centres.

The profile was truly varied and international. Trainees came from France, but also Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Russia and even from the United States. Corporate meeting planners from Schlumberger, Bayer Health Care and Amway among others worked alongside representatives from event organisers and Destination Management Companies, such as MCI, GL Events and Grass Roots, international associations, convention bureaux (Poland, Berlin, Florence, Manchester) and non-governmental organisations (Organization of American States).

Attendees learnt from experienced industry speakers who were flown in from the United States as well as from different European locations. Participants from both programmes were able to network during two evening social events, hosted by SKEMA Business School and the Radisson Blue hotel in Nice, respectively.

"As trainers, we were very impressed by our participants’ willingness to work so very hard. They were exceedingly disciplined but also happy to share experiences in class and build their professional network during break time", says Mady Keup, Accredited MPI Trainer and Course Director of the MSc in Events and Meetings Management at SKEMA Business School. “SKEMA is extremely happy to have been able to host these highly professional specialists in our Executive Centre.”

It addresses strategic issues that are faced by tourism businesses after identifying internal and external challenges to tourism development. The executive summary can be found on ec.europa.eu while the complete report is accessible here.

In conclusion, the study deplores the fragmentation of the tourism industry and recommends that various actors join forces and present a single voice to face the industry challenges . . . Indeed a recommendation that does not just apply to Europe . . . but also to local destinations.
