PCCA ACTIVITY 2008

Mixing Business is a Pleasure

Over 130 leading players in the Polish meetings industry gathered at the splendid new Windsor Palace Hotel and Conference Centre in Jachranka, near Warsaw for the Polish Conference & Congtress Association’s Third Business MIXER.

“The high attendance showed just how much such meetings are needed by our industry,” said PCCA President Irena Sokolowska. “Everyone confirmed the high quality of the presentations and debates and the one-day event was also a great place for meeting new partners.”

The MIXER tag accurately reflects a mixture of topics, people and forms of communication – a platform for the presentation of industry news, new products and services – all undertaken in an informal and welcoming atmosphere.

Notable guests included Bartlomiej Walas, Vice President of the Polish Tourist Board; Andrzej Saja, the newly-appointed President of PART (the Polish Agency for Tourism Development); and, representing the science sector, prof. L. Lipkowski, Past President of Polish Academy of Science, Dr. Zbigniew Turlej from the Technical University of Warsaw.

“Our programme also featured a wonderful buffet sponsored by the catering company JANEX and a fascinating tour around some of the Hotel’s new conference centre facilities which add up to a remarkable 37 meeting rooms,” added Irena Sokolowska.

“This third MIXER was the first in a series of events planned to mark the 10^th anniversary of the PCCA, culminating in a two-day meeting and grand gala night, in December.”
