The 2027 theme

The edition’s Russian theme, “Uyti nelzya ostatsya”, plays on the choice between leaving and staying. Organisers invite participants to discuss how event businesses can change their approaches to work, sales and development. The focus is on practical decisions as well as future event formats.

The programme combines industry sessions, business matchmaking and EVENT EXPO. If you represent a hotel or venue, decide beforehand whom you would like to meet and what to present. Access to individual formats depends on the package you select; check the EFEA conditions.
