How can you ensure your conference benefits the local economy?

Para maximizar o impacto econômico local de uma conferência, escolha locais e serviços de empresas locais, promova a participação ativa da comunidade, destaque atrações locais, contrate mão de obra local, adote práticas sustentáveis e incentive o turismo, criando uma sinergia positiva entre a conferência e a economia da região.

We have partners in all countries in the world. Many of these are in the forefront of making sustainable events. Our DMCs have different prerequisites depending on the country and the suppliers. You are welcome to contact me for more info.

Évidemment l'emplacement des lieu joue un crucial quant on parle d'économie local. Il faut aussi prendre en considération que les lieux soit proches de toute commodités, restaurants, hôtels...ect

Opting for local providers for venue, accommodation, transport, catering, and entertainment. Supporting our local community matters. Seeking sponsorships and promoting local products to boost the local economy. Designating a charity – because our conference should leave a positive mark beyond the event. Encouraging community participation through volunteer opportunities and engaging local talents. Embracing environmental awareness with sustainable choices. Informing local media about the positive things happening at our conference.

Der Ort schafft die Atmosphäre. Wenn Sie also einen eher sterilen, austauschbaren und ,,langweiligen" Ort wählen, der zwar verkehrstechnisch gut zu erreichen ist und den üblichen Service an wiederum austauschbaren Speisen und Getränken bietet, werde Sie als Veranstalterin oder Veranstalter viel Energie darin investieren müssen, eine andere, freundlichere, kreativere und auch vertrauliche Atmosphäre zu schaffen ... Diese Energie fehlt Ihnen dann an anderer Stelle. Mein Tipp: Wählen Sie einen besonderen Ort, der schon bei der Ankunft der Teilnehmenden das richtige Setting schafft. Wir suchen uns bei scheurenforst vor allem Orte aus, die mit Wald und Holz in Verbindung stehen. Wichtige Impulse unserer MasterClasses geben wir im Wald!

Involve local businesses & organizations! Reaching out to your Chamber of Commerce &/or EDC can help to bridge the gap & create connections to benefit both your event & local economy. If you are fundraising, local representation through donations is a great draw in addition to boosting a bit of 'advertising' for your business partnerships & in turn, it's more likely that people will patronize that business. Doing business with other local businesses also keeps sales tax dollars within the local economy, which means your municipality can make capital improvements, issue grants, & support your community as a whole. For more ideas, I'd also recommend heading over to the SBA website or reaching out to your local office. Shop & support local!

Em todas as edições da LADO B, e outros eventos que produzo busco sempre estar conectado com a comunidade e como eles se comportam em condições similares as dos eventos. Observando esse comportamento procuro lugares, comércios, artistas, empreendedores e marcas da região em busca de parcerias e apoio, alavancando tanto o evento quanto os parceiros unindo e criando conexões entre público e marcas. Entender o seu público é primordial para a evolução da arte independente na comunidade local. Convido vocês a acompanhar nossos eventos e artistas parceiros embarcando e compreendendo melhor essa jornada! #NosPorNos

Enhance your event experience by going beyond traditional event swag. Collaborate with local small businesses to source unique and meaningful items instead of generic branded pens and mugs. Consider offering a collection of local products or admission to nearby attractions as memorable alternatives. This not only creates distinctive event swag but also reduces waste and supports the local economy, resulting in a win-win-win scenario for your attendees, the community, and the environment.

Airbnb experiences son una buena plataforma para conocer y promover atracciones y actividades locales. Y en algunas ciudades, sobre todo aquellas con mayor actividad cultural, siempre habrá actividades que no son las más difundidas para los turistas, pero que son las más auténticas e interesantes. Es bueno consultar por lugares tradicionales y emprendimientos culturales en las redes sociales.

One effective strategy to garner positive feedback from event attendees is to curate unique experiences or gatherings with locals. This could involve intimate concerts in local homes, hands-on sessions in traditional cooking, or guided tours to unconventional sites such as abandoned manors or historic manufacturing facilities. Taking this extra step as event organisers to provide enriching experiences not only leaves a lasting impression but also encourages attendees to return. The collaboration between event organisers and local representatives from the hospitality and catering (HoReCa) sector plays a pivotal role, particularly when enticing visitors to explore beyond the conference venue.

Build a local outing into your event schedule. Whether it be a restaurant or pub crawl or even a game or concert, by offering an opportunity to attendees to get out and visit the host city, not only are you enhancing your event, you’re also helping the local economy.

Ihre Teilnehmenden kommen aus allen Himmerlsrichtungen? Sehr gut. Jede Reise bildet, weil ich neue Orte kennenlerne. Damit möchte ich auch etwas über den Ort wissen, an dem ich wertvolle Impulse und neue Ideen bekomme. Unser Gehirn verbindet Gedanken mit anderen Sinnesempfindungen. Schön ist zum Beispiel ein toller Ausblick und auch eine kurze Erklärung, was ich denn eigentlich sehe, wenn ich aus dem Fenster schaue (z.B. ein besonderer Wald, welche Berge sehe ich, welche besonderen Gebäude). All das unterstützt die Inhalte Ihrer Veranstaltung. Ausprobieren!

En Perú, el órgano responsable de la promoción del turismo receptivo e interno (Promperú) otorga colaboraciones a los organizadores de eventos con impacto en la promoción de la marca país, mediante su programa de ‘apoyo a terceros’. Estos eventos, incluso, pueden utilizar el logo marca país de Perú en su material de difusión. Todo el trámite se hace online y lo pueden hacer tanto personas naturales como personas jurídicas.

Researching the local culture can lead you to some interesting content opportunities. For instance is there a local figure that is popular and can be incorporated in to the event? How can you localize content to deliver the biggest impact?

To ensure that the conference benefits the local economy we have to consider choosing local venues, suppliers, and accommodations, fostering community partnerships, promoting local attractions, using local transportation, hiring locally, implementing sustainability initiatives, supporting local charities, and emphasizing the positive economic impact in marketing materials.

Höher, schneller, weiter und flippiger war gestern ... Neue Impulse und Aufmerksamkeit bekommen Sie durch besondere Orte, an denen Menschen sich wohlfühlen. Warum sollte ich mich auf Neues einlassen und neue Impulse auf mich wirken lassen, wenn ich schon an einem Ort bin, an dem ich mich unwohl fühle, weil es zieht, der Raum keine Fenster hat, der Kaffee bitter schmeckt oder die Kekse hart sind? Der beste Test ist hierbei, ob Sie sich selbst an diesem Ort wohlfühlen. Fällt der Ort hierbei schon durch, ziehen sie weiter ... Ausprobieren!

Work with suppliers and sponsors who share your commitment to sustainability. This can often lead to cost savings through shared resources and joint marketing efforts.
