Networking & Collaboration
The Development Network Dresden MeetGreen is a long-term project designed to promote ongoing dialogue within the events industry. It brings together partners from the sectors of conference hotels, event venues and event agencies, who work together to address issues and explore approaches relating to the further development of events.
Membership of the network is voluntary. Participation involves active engagement in the project group but does not constitute certification or an external audit of individual companies. The offers and services provided by individual partners may vary.
Measures and approaches developed
