“We are excited to host PCMA Convening EMEA next year as it is an event always rich in content and highly engaged participants from all corners of our industry. We cannot wait to move forward with our common important agendas and to show everyone what Copenhagen has to offer,” said Kit Lykketoft, Director of Convention at Wonderful Copenhagen.

There are already great expectations for next year's event and not least Copenhagen's role as the host city.
 
“This partnership with Copenhagen is timely as PCMA continues to foster dialogue and outcomes around sustainability and regeneration for the global business events industry. We know that if we expect our industry to transform, we need to lead that transformation. We must become a regenerative society, with regenerative jobs, regenerative industries, and renewable resources,” said PCMA and CEMA President and CEO Sherrif Karamat, CAE.

He is echoed by the Regional Director of PCMA EMEA, Jaime Bennett:
 
“As Convening EMEA continues its journey to become the nexus of business events in EMEA we feel Copenhagen will create the perfect environment to foster collaboration, experimentation, innovation, and legacy. Their work on sustainability, green, and legacy initiatives is only a few reasons that we chose them as a destination partner.”
 
Next year’s event will be held at Bella Center Copenhagen from 20 to 22 September.

“We are thrilled to welcome PCMA and Convening EMEA 2023 to Bella Center Copenhagen. Being able to provide the physical destination space for connecting the peers of our very own industry with the purpose of sharing inspiration and knowledge with one another is the epitome of our everyday mission: Hosting moments that matter,” said Christian Folden Lund, CEO of Bellagroup.
