Free and without obligation.

Two kinds of event, two different jobs

Congresses and conferences, and incentives and team building

We organise both, and we do not treat them as the same job. A scientific congress and an incentive programme have different budgets, different decision makers and different risks, so they get different offers.

  • Privileged access to places and people that are not on the usual route

One team, the whole event

What changes when one organiser owns the whole event

We are there from the earliest idea about the event through to the final financial settlement once it is over.

  • You brief once, not eleven timesInstead of coordinating a venue, a hotel, a caterer, a transfer company and an AV supplier from another country, you brief one team that already works with all of them.
  • You see the place before you commitWe arrange an inspection trip so the destination decision is made on site, with the rooms and the distances in front of you.
  • Terms are negotiated against your budgetWe contract conditions and prices to fit the budget you set for the event, and close it with a final financial settlement afterwards.
  • Someone is in the room the whole timeOur team stays at the venue for the duration, supervising the programme as it runs so problems are handled before you hear about them.
  • Deadlines and paperwork are tracked for youBooking deadlines, participant registrations, fee payments and transfers are all followed up on our side.
  • Three countries from one deskOur office is in Dubrovnik and we work across Croatia. If the brief moves to Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina, the organiser does not change.

Dubrovnik, Croatia and the wider Adriatic

A destination people accept the invitation to

Attendance is the quiet problem with every congress and every incentive. It is a smaller problem when the invitation is to the Adriatic, and what makes it work operationally is how close everything sits together.

Dubrovnik

One of the most visited cities in Croatia, and a walled old town on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979. It is also King’s Landing: Dubrovnik was the main Croatian filming location for Game of Thrones, and a walk through the locations, or a themed dinner up on the walls, is a programme item people talk about afterwards. We have run exactly that.

The whole Croatian Adriatic

Our office is in Dubrovnik, but the coast is the working area. We have delivered congresses and programmes in Split, Šibenik, Poreč, Rijeka, Zagreb, on Korčula and on Mljet, so the destination can follow the brief instead of the brief following our address.

  • Dubrovnik
  • Split
  • Šibenik
  • Poreč
  • Rijeka
  • Zagreb
  • Korčula
  • Mljet

And across the border, when the brief calls for it

On request we also organise in Montenegro and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the same team, the same single point of contact and the same contract, so a programme that starts in Dubrovnik and finishes in Kotor or Mostar does not mean handing your event to a second agency halfway through.

  • Montenegro
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina

Start here

Tell us about the event and we will come back with what is realistic

A short consultation call, free and without obligation. The more you can tell us up front, the more concrete the first conversation is.

  • What we need first is the group size and roughly when you want to come
  • Whether it is a conference or an incentive changes the offer, so it is worth saying
  • Budget is optional. If you would rather discuss it on the call, say so.

Free of charge and without obligation.

No obligation. Your details are used only to answer this enquiry.

Questions we get

Before you send the brief

Do you only work in Dubrovnik?

Our office is in Dubrovnik and that is where we know the venues best, but we organise events across the whole of Croatia. On request we also work in Montenegro and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

How far in advance should we get in touch?

It varies a great deal. Some of our clients plan years ahead, others a few months. If the dates are already fixed it is worth starting the conversation early, because the strongest venues and the best hotel terms go first.

Do you handle scientific congresses as well as corporate events?

Yes, and we quote them differently. A scientific or medical congress has a programme committee, sponsors, abstracts and poster sessions to accommodate, and usually tighter cost control. A corporate incentive is judged on the experience. Telling us which one you have is the single most useful thing you can do in the form.

What do you need from us to put an offer together?

The group size and roughly when you want to come are the two we cannot work without. A preferred location and whether it is a conference or an incentive let us make the first proposal concrete rather than generic.

Can you cover the technical side of the congress?

Yes. Simultaneous interpreting, microphone and interactive systems, poster presentations, exhibition stands and the on-site office are all part of the congress scope when you book the event with us.
