Do not miss ECM new series of knowledge sharing, of best and next practice, of recovery planning and of celebrating the ECM community heroes. It’s about how we can use ECM community to build collaborative advantage by sharing, learning, meeting – and through that growing both as a community and as individual destinations and destination leaders.
Power of Community is for ECM members and by ECM members and we fully leverage the power of this community together.
The next ECM International Conference & General Assembly will take place in-person in Hamburg on March 30 – April 2, 2022. Digitalisation is here to stay, but, in this increasing virtual world, we need to meet physically to work together and get inspiration.
”Face-to-face meetings are extremely important. This has been impressively confirmed by the pandemic. ECM is one of the most inspiring networks in this industry to exchange trends, leadership, inspiration and knowledge transfer. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the entire ECM family to Hamburg for the International Conference & General Assembly 2022. We will use the opportunity to convey the special Hamburg spirit.” Michael Otremba, CEO Hamburg Tourismus.
ECM will be present at IMEX, May 30-June 2, 2022
