Conventa is your key to establishing a presence in a market with over 300 million people. Only a few hours away from Frankfurt or London, half of Europe has its door wide open and awaits event organisers to discover it.

A best practice case in sustainability
Conventa is a pioneer and internationally recognised best practice case in sustainable event organising. With the help of the revolutionary Planet Positive Event tool, originating in Slovenia, the organisers accurately measure the event’s carbon footprint, make a sustainable and regenerative rating, and prepare an annual sustainability report with results reviewed by external assessors. By joining Conventa, you commit to co-creating a regenerative and sustainable trade show.
