GET READY FOR A NEW SEASON OF CONVENTA TREND BAR
Conventa Trend Bar is a knowledge roadshow that travels around the region of New Europe and helps people create better events. Trend Bars are workshops, where meeting industry experts share their experiences, talk about innovations and discuss future strategies. Until we can meet live again, the educational events will remain online.
