Ljubljana Wins a New Congress for September 2016

Due to unforeseeable circumstances, the Organising Committee of the 34th FIMS World Congress of Sports Medicine had to propose a change in location from the originally planned Istanbul. Among several cities, such as Belgrade and Valencia, whose congress centres could offer the availability in the same date, Ljubljana with the GR – Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre was confirmed in the end of March.

This was just days after the first site inspection, during which Mr. Onur Yeniyigit, Director of Congresses at DEKON Congress & Tourism, assessed the feasibility in the destination.

DEKON’s Operational Site Inspection in Ljubljana

Mrs. Tatjana Radovic, Congress Manager at Ljubljana Convention Bureau, was also in charge of organizing and executing the site inspection for a part of the operations team - the Project Manager, Mr. Berk Yumer, and Mr. Adnan Canli. While also getting a feel of the city they visited the main congress venue as well as several hotels and potential venues for the gala dinner. Did you know that there are 13 diverse options in a walking distance from the main square in Ljubljana?
