“I learned a great deal about the MICE-sector and have now better insights on how to prepare for bids and RFP's. I had the opportunity to ask questions to experienced faculty and to peers. Discussing dilemma's and difficulties that we encounter during our daily job, sharing ideas and solutions. And most of all it was an amazing and valuable networking experience!”

Sophie Fransen, Project Assistant, Event Masters (Belgium)

“I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity. It gave me insight into best-practices shared amongst my European colleagues, allowed for the opportunity of networking and for the ability to put together the puzzle pieces being new to the industry. It was an excellent platform to learn about challenges faced (some which are not unique to our country), and to create contacts and share 'our stories'. All part of the vision to #meet #share #grow. This experience was life impacting for someone like me coming from the Behavioural Sciences background. I now believe that the I have a bigger role to play by influencing the mindsets of people toward creating more awareness and inevitably increasing sales in the business events industry.”

Veruschka Rugbeer, Sales Officer, South African Tourism

“ECM Summer School is a one in a lifetime opportunity - not only to widen your knowledge but also to meet so many great people from the meetings industry all around the world. Everyone should take their chance and attend the next Summer School - you won't regret it!”
