The courage to dare: a dream come true Paulo Coelho once wrote: “The world is in the hands of those who have the courage to dream and run the risk of living their dreams”. We at ADC Group also believe that the most exciting, and often toughest, challenges are worth pursuing. Indeed, extending our event to a global audience was not an easy task, yet we accepted it with a clear outlook: in an increasingly connected world, competition in our industry is now truly global. Thus, there are no territorial borders to creativity or organisational skills, as undeniably proven by the quality of the work presented at this year’s Festival.The outcome is indisputable: 296 projects from 27 countries and an overall 7% increase in entries compared to 2016. Yet another record session since the awards began 12 years ago. The Festival’s success abides in its modern and remarkable format. Across three days, delegates attend live presentations of all competing projects, delve into a rich content programme, network with participating companies and agencies, discover the beauty of Porto as well as the assets it offers the event industry. Such format has already

helped both clients and agencies in finding the right partners for their international expansion. Hence this year’s slogan: Where Creativity Meets Business. Many thanks to Apecate, who believed in the project and wished to host the event; to all local and international partners who helped in making it happen; to Ilka Dzeik for an engaging content programme; to President Andrea Faflíková, and all other members of the international Jury who assessed all competing projects with commitment and passion; to our superb staff. I wish you all a very prolific Bea World Festival.

Welcome to Porto and Bea World Festival! Apecate, the Portuguese Association of Congresses, Tourist Animation and Events, is intent in defending the interests of its associates, promoting and improving their conditions - namely on a legal level, the knowledge and training of professionals, creating more sustainability. We hope this event is an excellent challenge for all participants. For Apecate, it is an honour to be the co-organiser of Bea World Festival, promoting interaction between different agencies around the

world and the Portuguese, sharing experiences, developing concepts and creating knowledge. To host this gathering, we chose the beautiful city of Porto with its enormous potential for the organisation of events. Such outcome was only possible with the good support of Turismo de Portugal I.P., CĂ˘mara Municipal do Porto, Atp and an Edp, among many others that allowed us to provide you with this programme.

Bea World 2017, a great opportunity of knowledge, challenges and business From the very beginning, as Vice-President of Apecate and General Producer of Bea World 2017, I knew that this would be a major event for Portugal and, more specifically, for Porto. I am glad to ascertain that such beliefs were confirmed, as EuBea opened its doors to the whole world, becoming Bea World, and also broke the record of competitors with the highest number of entries ever. This year’s theme is ‘Where Creativity meets Business’. All Bea World team members worked hard to transform such theme into a reality for all Festival attendees, gathering in the same space the best of our industry to share knowledge, challenges and possible business partnerships in the future. Special thanks go to our Apecate associates, because without their support our involvement would not be possible either. This is proof of how Portuguese companies are prepared for big challenges! Thank you also to all institutional partners, but especially

to all the companies that have joined this initiative: Edp, Europcar, HF Ipanema Park, Tap, CP Comboios de Portugal, Mgc Transportadora, FactorChave, Eventos By Transalpino, Bull Insurance, Europalco, ServicePack, Restar, Grandpa’s Lab, Ehtp, Go-WiFi, Palace Catering, Silva Carvalho Catering and Ibérium Cafés. As the General Producer of Bea World 2017, I hope you have a great time and come back to organise your events in Portugal!

Portugal, charming destination for worldwide events Turismo de Portugal welcomes Bea World 2017. Portugal is one of Europe’s most charming destinations and the Portuguese people are among the kindest in the world. Our country is known for its hospitality, culture, gastronomy and great climate. Attracting prestigious international conferences and events to Portugal is one of our top strategic assets and we are confident in providing the best conditions and infrastructures for a memorable event. The city of Oporto is quite well served with an excellent

PRESIDENT TURISMO DE PORTUGAL, I.P.

Luís Araújo

network of international flight connections and has suitable venues located in the heart of the city, as well as fantastic transportation and hotel availability. We believe Bea World 2017 will reinforce the outstanding conditions Portugal has to organize worldwide events and welcome all event planners to the city of Oporto.The Bea World nominees, guests and attendees will certainly enjoy Portugal’s cultural heritage, landscape and entertainment. Enjoy your stay. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Porto, the best destination for ‘the event of events’ In the last decade Porto has been a proud and privileged venue for major sporting events, such as the RedBull Air Race, Wrc Rally de Portugal or the Formula 1 Powerboat World Championship. Porto has also become a reference in urban animation, promoting events such as Nos Primavera Sound, São João or New Year’s Eve. In the cultural field, the city has stood out by programming events held in landmarks, in cultural equipment of great expression, such as Rivoli, the Coliseu, the São João National Theater, Casa da Música or the Serralves Foundation. Its capacity of attracting audiences to these great events is a case study, as their scope goes, quite often, far beyond the borders of the city and of the region of North Portugal. At a period where Porto is being qualified as an economically and socially sustainable city, the city demonstrates keeping alive the ancestral characteristics that have always linked is to the world, which justifies its own name: ‘Porto’. Porto is now a cosmopolitan city, which enjoys diversity, which coexists well with the upcoming challenges of the

future, but still is very proud of its rich and wide range of traditions and of its patrimony. I believe that hosting in Porto the ‘event of the events’, which is Bea World Festival – suits us very, very well. It suits us well because it will give us the possibility to showcase the extraordinary conditions that the city has, both in terms of infrastructure and human skills, to host outstanding events like this one. For the quality of its hotels, for the quality of its services, for the warm welcome and for the institutional support, Porto is now increasingly a destination of excellence. Elected European Best Destination three times in the last five years, the city is now clearly enjoying the statute it achieved.

Venues Porto & its venues One of Europe’s oldest cities, Porto’s historic centre was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the name ‘Portugal’, based on the transliteration and oral evolution from Latin. In Portuguese, the name of the city is spelled with a definite article (‘o Porto’; English: the port). Consequently, its English name evolved from a misinterpretation of the oral pronunciation and referred to as Oporto in modern literature and by many speakers. Today, Porto is one of Portugal’s foremost

cities and is a truly breathtaking place. Its streets are full of churches with tiled façades, beautiful buildings of various styles, such as the Baroque, and brightly painted houses alongside the river in Ribeira. Named European Best Destination in 2012, 2014 and 2017, Porto has much to offer and you will undoubtedly want to explore every corner of this beautiful and increasingly cosmopolitan city. All Bea World Festival Delegates will receive a special gift included in their Delegate Pass: a 3-day Porto.CARD! It will grant free access or discounts in more than 170 places of interest: museums, monuments, restaurants, as well as tours and activities.

What’s the value of content at Bea World Festival? Great speakers, industry-relevant topics and many networking opportunities: does this provide any value to Bea World Festival participants? It all comes down to the benefits gained in return for their time and money to join the festival. Session content is well chosen if delegates confirm that they learned something new that they can and will apply to their job. Speakers communicate knowledge effectively if participants confirm that they can explain content to a friend or colleague afterwards. Networking is successful if attendeesaccomplish a connection with people of value to their business. This best describes the key objectives of the educational programme, and all sessions will be measured against these objectives to determine if any adjustments are necessary for the followingtime. ‘Involve me and I will remember’ – the foundation for successful learning. At Bea World Festival we want to open minds with unconventional session formats, a strict ban on marketing fluff and plenty of facilitated opportunities to

interact with speakers, jury members, suppliers, potential clients and peers. ‘Pick a brain’ appointments with experts, meeting the stars at pre-booked topic-led lunch tables, joining peers for unconventional keynotes, experiential workshops or sessions are only some of the opportunities available to discuss business challenges, to grow networks and increase business opportunities. Bea World Festival provides a great platform to hit a big time ROI – so start now and make use of it.

EVENT PROFESSIONALS OF THE FUTURE, WHO ARE YOU? 11.30-12.00

We are nowadays fully immersed in the analysis and discussion about the different generations of professionals we have in our actual teams and the ingredients we need to ‘cook’ our future teams with. We need to match the next generations of talent with our company needs and future plans of evolution. Which skills are needed, above and beyond current competencies, to cope with the trends in events and live communications? Do managers have to re−think their resources? And what about employee plans? Is what you attain from university or your internship what future employers need when selecting your talent? What about entrepreneurship? Are you ready to think about setting up your own business? Will you need to be a data analyst, a technician, a technologist, a meeting designer or a social media specialist? During our session we will try to construe the topics mentioned above.

THE VALUE OF FACILITATED NETWORKING & PRE-EVENT ENGAGEMENT. HOW TO TURN CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES Human interaction is not longer only about human beings, but also about machines. The possibilities that technology offers are numerous. In this hands−on session, we will take a look at today’s challenges pre, during and post−event and we will examine the workshop solutions together. Two real case studies that solve this problem will also be shared as a touch point for discussion. Three main topics will be addressed: 1. How do you support attendees in connecting pre−event and finding the people that are of value to them? 2. What can you do to improve pre−event engagement? 3. How do you keep them in touch until your next event? How can you turn them into returning customers? SPEAKERS: Matthijs Otto (Networktables), Flavio Ventre (Digivents)

EXPERIENTIAL LAB #1: MEETING DESIGN AND ROI. STRATEGIC EVENTS REINVENTED 14.30-16.30

“Cancel all events”, “Clients seldom have a clue about meeting processes”, “Stop wasting money on Wow”. Just a few statements from the two passionate meeting professionals who will conduct this session. Good events deliver measurable bottom line value, but what justifies spending a lot of money on them? Plainly, it’s because they are ‘strategic’, like almost everything else these days, a word often used as a budget multiplier without any real meaning. A Strategic Context Analysis for your event will give the word ‘strategic’, as well as your event, a whole new connotation. You will understand what is needed to design and execute a strategic meeting. Terrain, Integration, Readiness and Leadership.

Nine centuries of History have refined the blend of heritage and cosmopolitanism in Porto. Without waiving its allure, the city stands out in the international setting as a unique brand in its own range. Porto has been elected European Best Destination, the city is one of the most sought after business destination, and Porto is recognised thanks to a combination of factors. It is a fascinating picturesque scenery that overlooks the river Douro; the dense urban fabric of the city centre, World Heritage Site. The climate summons to unveiling beaches, green areas and the reference architecture from different ages, up to the contemporary period. The cultural experience extends beyond geography. Knowledge and innovation revamp the urban network. The warmth of its people unites the city. Only by addressing everything that Porto is can one grasp the grand initiatives in the creative and cultural industries, in economic and social life. The celebration of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, the Book Fair, The Forum of the Future, Serralves em Festa Festival, Primavera Sound and Red Bull Air Race are only examples of local identity versus global dimension. From A to Z, in various segments, the city builds as a meeting point. www.cm-porto.pt EDP
