Meeting the Challenge: 

Creating Connections with Purpose

The BestCities Global Forum Melbourne will bring together senior global meeting planners and BestCities to explore how in-person meetings can create deep connections and purpose for both sides of the meetings eco-system.

To ensure viability and longevity, one cannot exist without the other and we will get together to learn from each other through a series of workshops, presentations, and hands-on experiences throughout the city.
