EVENTS WITHOUT BORDERS
Conventa will host the fifth meeting of Slovenian event organisers on Tuesday, 18 February 2025 between 16:00 and 19:00. The event, dubbed CONVENTA 42°NORTH, will feature speakers who dare to break boundaries. The event will take place in the Grand Hotel Union Eurostars.
At classic events, the line between speakers and attendees is clear. Our society has invented a slew of digital and analogue borders through which we see events. This time, we invited speakers who cross those borders.
The central topic of the event, 42°NORTH, pertains to climate change that has been heavily influencing regions south of the 42nd north parallel. These regions face increasing and more intense heat waves, droughts, floods and extreme weather occurrences. Will these circumstances force events to move north? How can event organising push boundaries in creativity, innovation and regeneration? How can we contribute to a better and more inclusive society?
Event organisers are the brightest examples of pushing boundaries, showing that our society is not motivated only by economic, political, scientific, or other motives. Many of us are motivated by the desire to advance society and individuals, which we wish to reflect in our events.
In Ljubljana, we will host colleagues who pushed boundaries at the Olympic Games in Paris, individuals who open and close World Championships, and employees of the largest global corporations.
