Deljenje sadržaja, znanja i informacija, bez di­ leme, predstavlja obeležje savremenog doba.

Pored toga, vrlo je zastupljeno i deljenje, iz­ na­j­mivanje i pozajmljivanje stvari – prostora, sme­š­taja, opreme, garderobe i praktično sve­ ga što nam padne na pamet.

Osnovni cilj je vrlo jednostavan – postići veću ekonomičnost, vaganjem činjenice koliko pu­ta ćemo nešto koristiti, pa doneti odluku da li se više isplati kupovina ili iznajmljivanje ili delje­ nje. Nešto slično kao kod donošenje odluke – dizel ili benzinac.

To sve ne predstavlja nov koncept, ali sa razvojem društvenih mreža poslednjih 10 godi­ na, ekonomija deljenja dobija sasvim novu dimenziju.

Airbnb, SnapGoods, Uber i slični su pioniri primene ovog koncepta, od kojeg su napravi­ li globalni trend koji će uticati, i već utiče, u značajnoj meri na industrije u kojima su za­stu­pljeni. Tako redom, hotelski smeštaj, tehnički uređaji, taksi usluge i prevoz, su sa­ mo neke od kategorija koje će u bliskoj budućnosti biti primorane da preoblikuju svoju ponudu na neki način. Uticaj razvoja ovog koncepta, može se ogledati i u nedavnoj odlu­ ci kompanije Apple da uloži čak milijardu dolara u kompaniju Didi, najvećeg kineskog konkurenta Uber-u.

u v o d

Kao industrija na koju se instant reflektuju globalni trendovi, i u event industriji se uve­ liko raspravlja o tzv. ekonomiji deljenja (Sharing Economy). Jedan od primera je i anketa vezana za ovu temu koju je sprovela IMEX grupa, čiji su rezultati objavljeni na nedavno održanom sajmu IMEX u Frankfurtu. Ipak ove godine „hot spot“ na ovu temu upravo je na konferenciji Ekonomija deljenja (The Sharing Economy Conference 2016) koja se odr­ žava 30. juna u Londonu.

Primena ovog koncepta, prednosti, nedostaci, i opšti uticaj biće fokus u ovom broju SEEbtm magazina, sa akcentom na primenu i mišljenje industrije iz regiona Jugoistočne Evrope na ovu temu.

Kada smo već kod deljenja, na strani 18 možete pročitati i o značaju kongresnih centara u kongresnoj industriji, o svim većim investicijama u kongresne centre u svetu u protek­ lih par godina, kao i njihovom povratu od investicija i koristi za ekonomiju. Možda ovo „deljenje informacija“, prikupljenih istraživanjem, pomogne prilikom odluke onome ko ima uticaja na razvoj naših u regionu.

Sreća nije toliko u posedovanju, koliko u deljenju.

Zarađujemo za život od onoga što dobijemo, ali stvaramo život od onoga što damo.

Sharing content, knowledge, and information is, without a doubt, a mark of this day and age.

Also, among the customary notions of today are sharing, lending, and borrowing – of spa­ce, accommodation, equipment, clothes: basi­cally, of anything that could come to your mind.

The main objective is quite simple: achieving greater cost effectiveness by determining how many times would something be used and then deciding which would pay off more – buy­ing or renting or sharing. Kind of like deciding between diesel and petrol cars.

All this is nothing new, but with the development of social media in the last ten years, the sharing economy has taken on an entirely new dimension.

Airbnb, SnapGoods, Uber, and the like are pioneers of applying this concept, which they have turned into a global trend that will significantly affect – and is already affecting – the industries in which they have presence. The list goes on: hotel accommodation, elec­ tronic devices, car service, or transportation are just some of the categories that will soon be forced to somehow reshape their service or product range. The impact of this concept’s growth is also reflected in Apple’s recent decision to invest as much as one billion dollars in Didi, Uber’s biggest rival in China.

i n t r o d u c t i o n

As an industry in which global trends are instantly reflected, the event planning industry is abuzz with discussions about the sharing economy. One example is a survey on this issue conducted by IMEX Group whose results were announced at the recent IMEX trade­ show in Frankfurt. Still, this year’s hot-spot on this subject would definitelly be on the The Sharing Economy Conference 2016 itself, on 30th June in London.

You can read about its implementation, advantages, disadvantages, and overall impact in this issue of SEEbtm magazine, with a focus on the implementation and industry opi­ nions in South East Europe region.

While we’re at sharing, turn page 24 to read about the importance of convention centers in the meetings industry, about all of the bigger investments in convention centers in the world over the last few years, as well as their ROIs and benefits to economy. Maybe this sharing of information collected through research will help regional influencers make their decisions.

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

n o v o s t i IN HOTEL DOBITNIK ZAHVALNICE ZA DRUŠTVENO ODGOVORNO POSLOVANJE IN Hotel Beograd dobitnik je Zahvalnice za društveno odgovorno poslovanje u 2015. godini koju dodeljuje Privredna komora Beograda. Na svečanoj dodeli zahvalnica predstavnici IN Hotela imali su priliku da predstave politiku društveno odgovornog ponašanja i brojne akcije realizovane u tom duhu tokom 10 godina od kada je otvoren.

Poslovanje IN Hotela na najviši način je vrednovano i sertifikatom Excellent SME Serbia u februaru 2016. godine, a koji dodeljuje Privredna komora Srbije. Ovim sertifikatom se potvrđuje visoka bonitetna ocena i primerena kredibilnost, kako u domaćem tako i u međunarodnom poslovnom okruženju.

PEŠČANA PLAŽA ISPRED HOTELA RADISSON BLU OLD MILL Hotel Radisson Blu Old Mill će ovog leta obradovati sve Beograđane otvaranjem peščane plaže koja će zauzimati 200 kvadratnih metara.

Plaža će biti otvorena 9. juna na Piazzi ispred hotela, a posetiocima će biti dostupna sve do 28. avgusta.

Pored otvaranja plaže, hotel je najavio i odličan provod za sve pose­ tioce uz osvežavajuće letnje koktele i odličnu hranu, kao i gledanje Evropskog prvenstva u fudbalu 2016 na velikom platnu i takmičenjima u stonom fudbalu.

BERLIN PRVI NA ICCA LISTI 2015 Na osnovu ICCA statističkog izveštaja za 2015. godinu, koji je objavljen 17. maja grad Berlin je izbio na prvo mesto po broju održanih međunarodnih događaja, pomerajući Pariz na drugo mesto.

U prvih 5 gradova i dalje ostaju, pored Pariza, gradovi koje se godinama tu nalaze – Beč, Madrid, Barselona, London.

Lisabon i Kopenhagen su ove godine ušli u top 10 gradova, popevši se za 3 mesta na listi.

Nekih većih promena u top 10 gradova nema, osim što se može primetiti da Pariz, Madrid i Beč imaju čak 28, 29 i 24 respektivno, događaja manje u poređenju sa 2014. godinom.

NOVI LETOVI IZ/DO BEOGRADA Avio kompanije Air Srbija i Wizz Air uvele su nove letove, koji će Beograd povezivati sa Njujorkom, Sankt Petersburgom i Baden-Badenom.

Naime, Air Srbija planira da od 18. juna 2016. godine uvede direktan let iz Beograda za Sankt Petersburg, a letovi će se obavljati tri puta nedeljno.

Direktni letovi za Njujork, koje je ova kompanija uvela nakon 24 godine će se obavljati od 23. juna i putnici će moći da biraju između 5 nedeljnih polazaka.

Let Beograd-Njujork je ujedno i prvi dugolinijski let ove avio kompanije.

Wizz Air je od marta počeo sa letovima ka Baden-Badenu a letovi se obavljaju dva puta nedeljno. Takođe, Wizz Air je pored leta za Beograd uveo i let iz Niša ka Dortmundu.

UBER ĆE PLATITI 10 MILIONA DOLARA ZA POSLOVANJE NA NEWARK AERODROMU U narednih 10 godina, Uber će platiti 10 miliona dolara kako bi svoje poslovanje mogao da obavlja na aerdoromu Newark koji se nalazi na oko 24 kilometra jugozapadno od Menhetna.

Pored naknade koju će plaćati aerodromu, Uber se složio i da obezbedi 1,5 miliona dolara u osiguranje od ogovornosti za sve vozače koji posluju preko Uber platforme, kao i da će sprovesti detaljnu proveru prošlosti vozača i sprovoditi politiku nulte tolerancije za vozače koji budu koristili drogu ili alkohol.

In the first 5 cities remain, beside Paris, cities which are in the top 5 for years - Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona, London.

Lisbon and Copenhagen this year entered the top 10 cities, moving up three places on the list.

There aren’t some major changes in the top 10 cities, unless it can be noted that Paris, Madrid and Vienna have even 28, 29 and 24 respectively, events less than in 2014 year.

NEW FLIGHTS FROM/TO BELGRADE Airline companies Air Serbia and Wizz Air have launched new flights which will connect Belgrade with New York, Saint Petersburg and with Baden-Baden.

industrija

Čemu rekonstrukcija i izgradnja novih?

Nove globalne investicije u kongresne centre Kongresni centri predstavljaju kamen temeljac kongresne industrije svake zem­­ lje i grada. Posebno kada je reč o vidljivosti na globalnom kongresnom trži­štu, ve­­li­kim međunarodnim okupljanjima, udruženjima, punoj popunjenosti hotela i sličnog. Sve ove stvari prosto podrazumevaju postojanje odgovarajućeg kon­g­ resnog centra.

Mnoge zemlje i gradovi sprovode rekonstrukciju i izgradnju kongresnih centara kao meru privrednog razvoja ili oporavka.

S obzirom na to da Austrija nije pre­te­ rano velika zemlja i da pri p­la­ni­ranju događaja na raspolaganju ima­te 7 kongresnih centara, navedena broj­ ka je poprilično impresivna.

S druge strane, tu i nema nekih izne­nađenja – ove zemlje su lideri u kongresnoj industriji, ne samo u Evro­pi već i u celom svetu. Treba spo­menuti i Holandiju i Belgiju,

Ta činjenica nam pruža uvid u veliku važnost i uticaj kongresnih ce­ntara, ne samo u okviru kongresne in­du­ strije i poslovnog turizma, već i po pitanju značajnih ekonomskih koris­ ti za kompletnu destinaciju.

Hajde da pogledamo šta se na de­stinacijama širom sveta radi sa kon­gresnim centrima u poslednjih neko­liko godina.

Ludost ili mudrost?

Kada je reč o kvantitetu, Španija i Ve­lika Britanija imaju po čak 13 kongresnih centara, dok ih u Nemačkoj takođe ima u velikom broju – 8 kon­ gresnih centara.

Najnoviji dodatak centru, Zapadna zgrada, završen je i pušten u rad 2015. godine i već je poslužio kao lokacija za vrtoglavih 560 događaja u periodu od 12 meseci.

Povrh toga, originalna plenarna zgrada centra, koja je izgrađena 1987. godine, porušena je kako bi se obezbedio prostor za izgradnju nove Istočne zgrade, čije otvaranje je planirano za 2017. godinu.

Facebook Developer Conference - F8

Kako će nove Facebook mogućnosti uticati na kongresnu industriju?

Na godišnjoj konferenciji Facebook Developer Conference - F8 održanoj u San Francisku 12. i 13. aprila 2016. godine, predstavljene su i najavljene nove funkci­ onalnosti Facebook platforme.

Unapređene mogućnosti, alati i fun­ kcije koje Facebook pruža program­ erima su brojne. Međutim, nove fu­ n­kcionalnosti omogućuju mnoštvo noviteta i po pitanju organizacije do­ gađaja i kongresne industrije.

Naime, velika pažnja na ovogodišnjoj F8 konferenciji posvećena je ra­z­ voju virtuelne realnosti. U hotel­skoj industriji virtuelne ture su u mnogome doprinele interaktivnosti posetilaca sajtova hotela. Virtuelne ture omogućuju korisnicima detaljni prikaz hotelskih kapaciteta i sadržaja, iz svojih kancelarija ili domova.

Nije neophodno da fizički budu prisutni, što umnogome može uticati na brzinu odlučivanja, ali i razmatranja većeg broja prostora (za koje do sada nije bilo vremena da se fizički obiđu) prilikom organizacije događaja. Unapređenjem ovih tehnologija otvaraju se mogućnosti koje hoteli, prostori i ostali učesnici u organizaciji događaja mogu iskoristiti za svoju

30

promociju na ovoj društvenoj mreži.

Organizatorima događaja ova funkcionalnost omogućava pregled sala, soba i ostalih sadržaja koji su im po­trebni za određeni događaj i pre nego što zapravo posete objekte, što u mnogome skraćuje vreme potrebno za pronalaženje pravog prostora za događaj.

Takođe, na ovaj način omogućeno je pretraživati hotele i event prostore u drugim gradovima ili državama sa jasnim uvidom u stvarnu ponudu.

CEO Facebook-a, Mark Zuckerberg, najavio je u narednim godinama razvijanje novih i modernijih gedžeta virtuelne realnosti.

Nove VR naočare izgledaće kao obi­ čne naočare za vid. Konferencije, seminari i ostali poslovni i edukativni skupovi mogli bi da dobiju apsolutno drugu dimenziju uz pomoć novih gedžeta virtuelne realnosti.

Live stream video, još jedan je od noviteta objavljenih na F8.

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

Na Facebook će od sada moći da se prenosi live stream video sa bilo koje kamere, čak i sa drona.

Ova mogućnost daće veću interakti­ vnost i prilikom nekog događaja, npr. postavljanjem videa na zvaničnu Facebook stranicu događaja u realnom vremenu.

CEO Facebook-a, Mark Zucker­ berg, najavio je u narednim go­dinama razvijanje novih i mo­de­rnijih gedžeta virtuelne re­a­l­nosti.

Na ovogodišnjoj konferenciji Facebo­ ok je predstavio i nove mogućnosti opcije namenjene za kreiranje događaja „Events”.

Nove funkcionalnosti su: kupovina ka­rata, check-in, postavljanje fotografija događaja, pretraživanje pozi­ vnica, agende, kalendar događaja, itd. Za organizatore koji upravljaju sa više događaja u isto vreme nove mogućnosti će im svakako olakšati i ubrzati posao.

Razvoj tehnologija i društvenih mre­ ža doveo je do povećanja interaktivnosti i inovativnosti u svakom poslu, a samim tim i događaji su sve više „tech-savvy”.

Prednosti new age te­h­nologije i korišćenja Facebook platforme prilikom organizacije događaja su razne, npr.

aplikacije o događajima je moguće preuzeti na mobilne telefone, Face­ book pomaže organizatorima sa pro­ cesom registracije i pozivanja gosti­ ju, moguće je postavljati sve izmene i obaveštenja koja delegati prate pu­tem Facebook stranica događaja, povećava se networking i interakti­ vnost među učesnicima i sl.

Iz svega navedenog možemo zaključiti da organizatori događaja moraju pratiti i primenjivati, u meri koje procene da im je potrebno, nove trendo­ ve koje današnje vreme i pruža i nameće u pogledu novih tehnologija.

Facebook Developer Conference - F8

How Will Facebook’s New Features Affect the Event Industry?

Facebook’s annual global developer conference, Facebook Developer Confe­ rence - F8 held in San Francisco from 12th to 13th April 2016, introduced and an­ nounced new features of the Facebook platform.

Facebook is a platform that provides the developers with numerous advanced opportunities, tools and features. However, these new features enable a lot of innovation regarding event planning and event industry.

Namely, great deal of attention was dedicated to Virtual Reality deve­lo­ pment. In the hotel industry, virtu­al tours increased interactivity with hotel web sites visitors. Virtual tours enable users to review hotel capacities and contents from their offices or homes. Their physical presence is not required, what significantly affects the speed of decision-making, and also they have the opportunity to visit much more spaces (they did not have the time to visit until now) when planning their events. Advan­ cing these technologies created a lot of possibilities that hotels, locations and other participants in event planning can use for promotion on this social network.

32

Event planners can take a look at hal­ls, rooms, and other spaces they ne­ed for certain events before actually visiting the location, shortening the time for finding the right venue.

Also, they can have a clear overview of the real offer of hotels and event spaces in other cities and countries.

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced the development of new,

more advanced VR gadgets in the ye­ars to come. New VR glasses will lo­ok like regular eyeglasses. Confere­ nces, seminars, and other business and educational gatherings could re­ach a completely new dimension wi­th these new VR gadgets.

At this year’s conference, Facebook presented new possibilities of the “Events” – event planning feature.

New functionalities are: ticket purchasing, check-in, event photo uplo­ ading, invites’ search, agenda, event calendar, etc. This will simplify and expedite the job for planners who manage several events at the same time.

Technology and social network deve­ lopment lead to the boost of inte­ra­ ctivity and innovation in every line of work, making events more tech-

sa­vvy. There are many advantages of using new age technologies and Facebook platform for event plan­ ni­ng, for example, event apps can be downloaded to cell phones, Fa­ cebook can assist with registration and inviting process, all modificati­ o­ns and announcements can be po­s­t­ed via Facebook event pages,

ne­t­working multiplies, participants inte­ract more, and so on.

From all of the above, we can only conclude that event planners have to - as much as needed - apply and keep up with new trends set and imposed by new technologies.

Ekonomija deljenja Koncept i ideje za primenu u organizaciji događaja

Organizacija događaja zahteva puno resursa, od materijalnih do ljudskih, pogotovo u današnje vreme kada se granice za izuzetne događaje koji treba da zadovolje rastuće zahteve i očekivanja učesnika, sve više pomeraju.

Jasno je da organizatori događaja imaju veliki zadatak pred sobom.

Jedan od načina za smanjivanje troškova uz zadržavanje standarda mnogi organizatori događaja uspevaju da ostvare uz pomoć korišćenja koncepta ekonomije deljenja („sharing economy“).

34

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

b r o j a

Jednostavno rečeno, ekonomija de­ljenja predstavlja eko sistem koji čine: ljudi, proizvodnja, vrednosti i sistemi razmene, distribucija, planeta, moć, zajedničko pravo, komunikacija, kultura, i budućnost.

Ljudi zapravo čine suštinu ekonomije deljenja. Oni predstavljaju pojedince, ali i kompanije, organizacije i asocijacije koje imaju ustanovljen sistem deljenja, koji doprinose, ali imaju i korist od deljenja.

Kada govorimo o proizvodnji, ljudi, organizacije i zajednice su proizvođači određenih proizvoda ili usluga koji se putem tehnologija mogu širiti po celom svetu.

Vrednost i sistem razmene se ne ogledaju isključivo u finansijskoj dobi­ti, već u njoj postoje različiti oblici razmene, podsticaja i stva­ ranja vre­dnosti.

Kod ekonomije deljenja sredstva se nikada ne upotreljavaju samo jednom, već se iznova i iznova di­ stribuiraju raznim stranama.

Vođenje brige o planeti je još jedan aspekt ekonomije deljenja, pa se po­kušava uticati na pojedince ali i na zajednice na smanjenje štetnih stvari za planetu.

sti nećemo moći da ignorišemo.

Koncept deljenja nije nov, s obzirom da su svi bilo u privatnom, ili pak poslovnom životu nekada nešto delili (na primer fabrike su delile razne mašine), ali kada govorimo o ekonomiji deljenja u kongresnoj industriji, onda možemo slobodno reći da se radi o relativno novom konceptu.

Kako je ekonomija deljenja našla svoje mesto u kongresnoj industiriji?

Opšte je poznato da je za organizaciju bilo kog događaja potreban određen budžet.

Organizatori događaja su imali, a i dalje imaju zadatak da događaj isplaniraju u skladu sa budžetom, koji je neretko, manji od prethod-

nog, samo su očekivanja veća.

Shodno tome došlo je do stvaranja, odnosno upotrebe ekonomije deljenja. Ekonomija deljenja u kongresnoj industriji može se odnositi na deljenje raznih sredstava ali i resursa.

Naime, prilikom organizacije događaja organizator u skladu sa temom može kontaktirati određene institucije za pomoć, da li u vidu iznajmlji­ vanja prostora ili pak medijske po­drške za promociju događaja.

Ovo je recimo praksa kod raznih ne­vladinih organizacija, ali i mnogih drugih. Naravno ovo se može ostvariti jedino ako obe strane imaju određenu korist. Što se tiče iznajmljivanja sredstava kao što je na primer tehnička oprema, organizatori jednog događaja mogu razmatrati opciju da podele

#seebtm #kongresniturizam #seemice

t e m a

Moć se može ogledati u mogućnosti nekih organizacija ili asocijacija da pomognu pojedincima ili pak da podrže neku inicijativu, dok se zajedničko pravo odnosi na postojanje poverenja i poštovanje dogovora i propisa.

Komunikacija se ogleda u stalnom deljenju informacija i znanja koje su dostupne svima, bez obzira da li se radi o pojedincu ili pak o kompaniji ili organizaciji.

Kultura deljenja se odnosi na poslovnu kulturu koja podrazumeva efikasno korišćenje sredstava/resursa, a ono što je neizbežno jeste činjenica da u današnje vreme koncept ekonomije deljenja u budućno-

troškove sa organizatorom nekog drugog događaja koji se održava u istom prostoru, u kratkom vremenskom razmaku, ili ako su bukvalno jedan za drugim, a potrebna im je slična oprema.

Takođe, organizatori mogu podeliti i troškove organizovanja puta, naravno ukoliko to njihova pravila dozvoljavaju.

Dekoracija prostora svakako može biti još jedan od primera ekonomije deljenja u kongresnoj industriji, pa se tako dekoracija od nekog pretho­ dnog događaja može iskoristiti za novi događaj.

Ili, uz umrežavanje od strane event menadžera iz hotela, organiza­tori dva nekonkurentna događaja, mo­gu unapred da se dogovore i, sa ma­lo kompromisa sa obe strane, ispla­niraju dekoraciju koja odgovara obema stranama, uz podeljene troškove.

Na ovu temu interesantna je platforma Showslice koja organizatorima omogućava da putem poverljive platforme dele svoje zahteve za potrebnim proizvodima, a sa ciljem koordinisanja opreme, smanjenja troškova i izbegavanja uticaja na životu sredinu putem događaja koji dele isti prostor.

Postoje sajtovi koji posluju samo na osnovu ovog koncepta, pa tako na primer neko može postaviti oglas da putuje negde, i da poziva one koji

Airbnb je poverljiva tržišna zajednica za osobe koje žele da pregleda­ ju, pronađu i rezervišu smeštaj u jedinstvenim objektima širom sveta, onlajn ili sa mobilnog telefona i tableta. takođe putuju na istu destinaciju da podele troškove puta.

Iako za sada i nema veliku primenu u kongresnoj industriji, za one koji žele da smanje troškove smeštaja ili putovanja, ne možemo da ne spomenemo globalno uspešne platforme zasnovane upravo na ovom konceptu - Airbnb i Uber.

Jedan od primera savremene primene ekomonije deljenja jesu i sada popularni coworking prostori.

U pitanju su zajednički radni prostori, u kojima individualci, obično frilenseri i samozaposleni, dele sa drugima, obično ne iz iste kompa­ nije, radni prostor, kancelariju, opremu.

Može da se desi i da kompanije koriste ove prostore kada periodično imaju povećan broj zaposlenih, pa ukoliko nemaju mesta u sopstvenim kancelarijama, šalju ih coworking prostore.

Ne direktno vezana sa ekonomijom deljenja, ali povezana sa razvojem ekonomije i moćnim uticajem mno­ gih pojedinaca na neki rezultat, jeste Crowdfunding, koji omo­gućava ra­zvoj dobrih ideja i projekata uz mnoštvo zainteresovanih pojedina-

ca, a ne, kao pre, samo uz pomoć par velikih investitora.

Crowdfunding, po definiciji predstavlja „praksu finansiranja projekata ili poslova putem prikupljanja mnogo malih novčanih suma od velikog broja pojedinaca, obično preko interneta”.

Ekonomija deljenja definitivno menja način na koji ljudi kupuju proizvode i usluge, i predstavlja tržište koje privlači investicije i preduzetnike, a ove godine konferencija Ekonomija deljenja (The Sharing Economy Conference 2016), koja se održava 30. juna u Londonu, predstavlja platformu na kojoj će se okupiti sve zainteresovane strane, uključujući velike igrače i startupove.

Ekonomija deljenja je koncept koji će uzimati sve više maha i koji će organizatorima pružiti mogućnost za smanjenje troškova prilikom organizacije događaja.

Za sada se može reći da postoji ma­ lo, ali i razumljivo, nepoverenje od strane organizatora događaja, ali će se vremenom, uz razvoj i primenu zakonskih i sigurnosnih regulativa, i to verovatno promeniti.

Međutim, evidentno je da ovaj kon­cept deljenja ima prostora za sve veću primenu u kongresnoj industriji, s obzirom na zahteve koje organizatori moraju da ispune kako bi zadovoljili očekivanja i kriterijume učesnika događaja.

Savet za kraj može da bude da razmislite ubuduće na temu da li možete primeniti ovaj koncept u nekom delu organizacije vašeg događaja.

Možda je rešenje na dohvat ruke, čak lako izvodljivo, samo nije do sada traženo u tom pravcu.

Sharing Economy – The Concept and Ideas to Apply in Event Planning

cover story

Trends in the MICE Industry

Event planning requires a lot of resources – from financial to human – especially today when

the limits for special events that need to meet the growing demands and expectations of participants that are increasingly pushed. It’s clear that event organizers are facing a great task.

One of the ways in which many event organizers manage to cut costs while maintaining stan­ dards is by using the concept of sharing economy.

c o v e r

s t o r y Power can be reflected in the opportunity of some organizations or associations to help individuals or support an initiative, while shared right refers to mutual trust and re­specting agreements and regu­ lations.

Communication is reflected in the constant sharing of information and knowledge that are available to everyone, regardless of whether those that need them are individuals, companies, or organizations.

Simply put, the sharing economy is an ecosystem made up of: people, production, values and exchange systems, distribution, the planet, power, shared right, communicati­ on, culture, and the future.

People are actually what makes the essence of the sharing economy.

They are individuals, as well as companies, organizations, and associations with an established system of sharing – they both contribute and benefit from sharing.

When it comes to production, people, organizations, and communities are producers of certain products or

services that can spread around the world through technology.

Value and exchange system are not only in financial gain, but in­ste­ad there are different forms of exchange, encouragement, and creating value. In the sharing economy, means are never used just one time, but instead they are repeatedly distributed to different parties.

Taking care of the planet is another aspect of the sharing economy, which tries to influence both individuals and communities to reduce harm to the planet.

Sharing culture refers to the business culture that entails efficient use of means or resources, and today it is clear that the concept of the sharing economy will inevitably be impossible to ignore in the future.

The concept of sharing is n­othing new, since we have all shared so­ mething – either in business or in private- at some point in our lives (for example, factories used to sha­re equipment). However, when it comes to the sha­ring economy in the MICE industry, we can say that the concept is relatively new.

How did the sharing economy find its place in the MICE industry?

It’s well known that organizing any kind of event requires a budget.

Event planners have always been tasked with planning events within the set budget, which is often smal­ ler than the previous one, while expectations get bigger.

This brought about the creation and use of the sharing economy.

The sharing economy in the MICE industry can refer to sharing diffe­ rent means, as well as resources.

In organizing an event, the event planner – guided by the theme – can contact certain institutions for assistance, whether in the form of renting the venue or media support for promoting the event.

This practice is common, for exam­ ple, with different non-governmen-

38

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | May 2016

tal organizations, but also many others. Of course, this is possible only if both parties benefit from it.

As for renting means such as equ­ i­pment, event planners have the op­tion to share their expenses with another planner in need of similar equipment for organizing an event at the same venue within a short time span or literally immediately after. In addition, they can also share tra­vel expenses if their rules allow it, of course.

Venue decoration is most certainly another example of the sharing economy in the MICE industry, and so decorations from a previous event can be used for a new event.

Alternatively, hotel event managers’ networking can lead to o­rganizers’ of two non-competing events ag­re­ eing in advance and, with a bit of compromise on both sides, arran­ ging decorations that suit them both, with shared expenses.

An interesting platform re­garding this topic is Showslice, which ena­bles confidential sharing of event organizers requirements for products, aimed at coordinating equipment, reducing costs, and avoiding environmental impact by sharing event venues.

There are websites whose business is based solely on this concept.

For example, a person can post an ad about traveling somewhere and invite people who are traveling to the same destination to share expenses.

Although there is not much use for it in the MICE industry, for those who want to cut accommodation or traveling expenses, we have to mention globally successful platfo­ rms based on this exact concept – Airbnb and Uber.

or equipment with other people who are usually not from the same company. Sometimes even companies use these spaces when they occasio­nally have increased number of employees and not enough space in their own offices.

Crowdfunding is not directly related to the sharing economy but it is with economic growth and the strong impact of big groups of individuals on a result, enabling development of good ideas and projects with many interested individuals, instead of – as was before – just with the help of big investors.

Crowdfunding is by its definition “the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.”

The sharing economy is most definitely changing the way people buy products or services and represents a market that attracts investments and entrepreneurs, and this year The Sharing Economy Conference 2016, held on 30th June in London, represents a platform that will

s t o r y

gather all interested parties, including big players and start-ups.

The sharing economy is a concept that is going to spread more and more and enable event planners to cut costs in organizing events.

For now, we could say that event planners are slightly – but understandably – cautious, but in time, development and implementation of legal and security regulations will probably change this, too.

Still, it’s obvious that this concept of sharing is becoming increasingly applicable in the MICE industry, considering the requirements that event planners must meet in order to satisfy expectations and criteria of event participants.

#seebtm #kongresniturizam #seemice

c o v e r

One final advice could be to think about the feasibility of this concept in some aspect of a future event you organize.

It could happen that a solution is within reach, or even easy, and that the only thing that is lacking is exploring this direction.

Among the examples of applying the sharing economy today are also the popular coworking spaces.

These are shared work spaces where individuals – commonly fre­ elancers or the self-employed – sha­re their work space, offices,

istraživanje

Preoblikovanje industrije

Primena ekonomije deljenja u organizaciji događaja Poslednjih nekoliko godina, iako to nije nov koncept, govori se puno o tzv eko­ no­miji deljenja (sharing economy). Reč je o deljenju ili iznajmljivanju umesto ku­povine (smeštaja, tehnike, opreme, prevoza i slično) kako bi se smanjili tro­š­ kovi. Tako su recimo, Airbnb, Uber, SnapGoods i drugi, zapravo pioniri ovog kon­ cepta.

PwC predviđa da će do 2025. go­ di­ne globalna ekonomija deljenja vre­deti 335 milijardi dolara.

Velika Britanija se smatra ev­rops­ kom pre­sto­nicom ekonomije de­lje­ nja, gde 1 od 10 kompanija pri­pa­da ovom sektoru, a kako Ip­sos Mori nalazi, 18.5 miliona njihovih sta­no­ vnika redovno koriste ap­lika­cije i sajtove zasnovane na ekonomiji deljenja.

U ovom broju SEEbtm magazina, istraživali smo koliko je „ek­onomija deljenja“ zastupljena prilikom orga­ nizacije događaja u našem regionu.

U istraživanju su učestvovali profesionalci iz kongresne industrije – iz hotela, agencija, kongresnih biroa, kompanija, nevladinih organizacija, ministarstva, najvećim brojem iz Srbije i Hrvatske.

Na osnovu odgovora učesnika u anketi, primećujemo da se vodi računa

zajednički prevoz, a ukoliko se ide automobilima, deli se prevozno sredstvo i vodi se računa da budu popunjeni, a ne svako da ide sam, osim, naravno, ukoliko su zahtevi organizacije drugačiji (u slučaju pre­ davača, VIP gostiju i slično).

Ono što je značajno i za­nimljivo primetiti, jeste da većina među­ na­rodnih kongresa na svakoj web

Nevladine organizacije, recimo, pri­ likom organizacije događaja sličnih tema, nastoje da uključe druge orga­ nizacije s kojima dele vrednosti, pa time i resurse (prostor, veštine, itd.).

Tako i recimo Ministarstvo pravde Republike Srbije koristi četiri sale u okviru zgrade u Nemanjinoj, ali tri sale dele sa drugim Ministarstvima. Što se tiče globalne pomame za Airbnb uslugama smeštaja, kod nas, odnosno među profesionalcima u kongresnoj industriji, to je daleko od veoma zastupljenog iako nije za­nemarljivo, ali tek 7,6% koristi veoma često ovu uslugu, dok 77% nije ili nije još koristilo Airbnb usluge za poslovni put (grafik 6). stranici, u delu Kako stići ili Tran­ sport, pored stan­dardnih opcija javnog prevoza i aviona, uključuju i mogućnost deljenja automobila sa još nekim učesnikom kongresa. Što se tiče deljenja tehničke opre­me (grafik 2), kod orga­nizatora doga­đa­ ja kod nas možemo reći da to nije praksa. Naime, 64% nije delilo ili ne još, opremu na događajima.

Par puta do sada je to praktikovalo 20% učesnika u anketi, dok je kod njih 16% to već praksa.

lo­kalnim zajednicama i turističkim organizacijama.

Naravno, na ovu temu, uglavnom je akcenat na de­lje­nju resursa (usluga, edukacije, pro­stora ili prevoza), ka­da se radi o sinergijskim delatno­ stima, korisnim za obe strane, a da je reč o aktivnostima koje nisu konkurentne.

Primećuje se neznatna razlika pri­li­kom poslovnog i privatnog pu­tovanja, gde se, kada je u pitanju privatno putovanje, Airbnb usluge nešto češće koriste, i to u 26,9% slučajeva u poređenju sa 23% kod putovanja u poslovne svrhe.

Kao osnovni problem korišćenja

i s t r a ž i v a n j e

Deljenje dekoracije za event je još nezgodnije za primenu u praksi (grafik 3), iako nije mali procenat (29.2%) onih koji su uspeli da pri­ mene ovaj koncept, i na taj način uštede vreme i novac.

Kod deljenja opreme, kao što je na­meštaj, i primera radi, potrebnih stolica ili barskih stolova za veći broj učesnika (što se neretko dešava), je ipak drugačiji slučaj, gde njih čak 45% nalazi rešenje ovog problema dobrom saradnjom i pozjamljiva­ njem opreme od saradnika i kole­ga (grafik 4).

i s t r a ž i v a n j e U međuvremenu, ekonomska i eko­loška svest o deljenju prevoznog sredstva će sigurno, još uvek rasti.

Tako da će u budućnosti, sigurno u većini kompanija postojati praksa o deljenju vozila prilikom dolaska na posao, dok u slučajevima poslovnog puta i organizacije prevoza za neki događaj, već možemo reći da je to praksa.

eko­nomije deljenja u poslu, učesnici u anketi navode nesiguran kvalitet (njih 27,8%), a postavlja se i pitanje sigurnosti (16,7%) (grafik 5).

Mada možemo reći i da je značajan broj i onih koji nisu upoznati sa konceptom, pa ima 27,8% učesni-

ka kojima ovaj pristup nije pao na pamet.

Možemo reći da je ekonomija de­lje­nja u organizaciji događaja naš­la svoju primenu prvenstveno u deljenju opreme – najviše name­šta­ ja, kao što su konferencijske stolice,

42

barski stolovi i slično. Ova situacija je verovatno delom i zbog najma­ njeg potencijalnog rizika prilikom primene ali i eventualnog oštećenja.

Deljenje tehničke opreme i dekora­ cije, još uvek se, bojažljivo prime­

njuje, ali možemo očekivati porast i u ovim slučajevima, kada se ove prakse još malo razrade.

Pa recimo, dekorateri i ljudi koji se bave tehničkom opremom sami bu­ du nudili opciju deljenja sa dru­gim organizatorom, sa vrstom deko­racije i opreme koji su pogodni za deljenje.

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

Možda će se još samo smanjivati broj onih koji iz razloga koji nisu neophodni, posle koji ipak dolaze pojedinačno, organizovanim prevozom samo za njih.

Ovo sada ima više veze sa lokalnim socijalnim uticajem koji događaji mogu da imaju, ali u budućnosti bi trebalo, i hoće, više da se vodi računa o hrani koja ostane posle njih. Trebalo bi unapred za svaki događaj definisati gde se doniraju ostaci hrane od ručkova, gala večera i slično. Obično je reč o desetinama kilograma hrane. Što se Airbnb smeštaja tiče, u regi­ onu, njihove usluge ne koriste se ma­sovno, naročito ne u poslovne svrhe, pa za sada, nema bojazni za hotele u regionu o nekom značaj­ nom uticaju ove platforme na kor­ porativna putovanja.

Međutim, ovo je trend koji je prili­ čno uzdrmao globalnu hotelsku in­dustriju, zato svakako preporuču­ jemo pažljivo praćenje kretanja ovog trenda.

Applying the Sharing Economy in Event Planning

research

Reshaping an Industry

Although the concept is not a novel one, last few years saw much talk about the sharing economy. Here sharing or renting replace buying (ac­com­modation, equipment, devices, transportation, and the like) for the purpose of cutting costs. Companies such as Airbnb, Uber, SnapGoods, and others are ac­tually pioneers of the concept.

PwC predicts that by 2025 the global Sharing Economy will be worth $335 billion. The UK is considered to be the European capital of the sharing economy, accounting for 1 in 10 of the companies in this se­ ctor, and as Ipsos Mori found, 18.5 million UK residents regularly use apps and websites in the Sharing Economy.

is paid to the cost of employees co­ ming to work (60%), including al­so those who sometimes use the concept of sharing transport means (32%), as well as those who do that all the time (28%) (chart 1).

The same concept is used even mo­ re when planning an event, as much as in 67% of cases.

Most often, at­ten­dees are provided with shared transport, and if cars are used, they share means of transport, making sure that no seats are wasted instead of people going by themselves, except of course when organization requires otherwise (for lecturers, VIP guests, etc.).

What is important and interesting to note is that the majority of inter­

The survey included pro­fessionals in the MICE industry – coming from hotels, agencies, con­vention bureaus, companies, non-governmental organizations, and mini­stries – mostly working in Ser­bia and Croatia.

The responses given by the survey participants indicate that attention

r e s e a r c h (chart 3), although the percentage of those who have managed to apply this concept and save both time and money this way is not insignificant (29.2%).

As for sharing supplies like furniture or, for example, chairs or barstools needed for larger events (which hap­pens frequently), the case is dif­ferent – as much as 45% find solutions to this issue through good collaboration or borrowing equip­ment from associates or colleagues (chart 4).

make it a habit. Namely, 64% of th­ em didn’t or at least not yet shared equipment at their events.

This has been done several times so far by 20% of the survey participan­ ts, while 16% of them already do it on regular basis.

When it comes to sharing equipment (chart 2), local event planners don’t

Sharing event decorations is even more inconvenient in practice

Another instance of applying the smart concept of sharing in event planning noted by the respondents is collaborating with local communities and tourism organizations.

Of course, in this area, the focus is mainly on sharing resources (services, education, venues, or transportation), when activities are synergic and benefit both parties, without the competitive element.

When organizing events that ad­ dress similar issues, non-governmen­ tal organizations, for example, try to involve other organizations that share their values, and therefore also resources (venue, skills, etc.).

As for the global hype for Airbnb ac­commodation services, here – among the professionals in the MICE industry – the trend is far from widespread but also not ne­ gligible.

However, only 7.6% use the service frequently, while 77% haven’t or not yet used Airbnb’s services for business travel (chart 6).

There’s a slight difference between business and personal travels.

When it comes to personal travel, Airbnb services are somewhat more common – they’re used in 26.9% of cases compared with 23% when travelling on business.

As reported by the survey participants, the main issue in applying

44

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | May 2016

the sharing economy in business is uncertain quality (27.8% of respondents), as well as the subject of security (16.7%) (chart 5).

We could also say that the n­umber of those not familiar with the con­ cept is considerable, as 27.8% of the participants responded that the approach never crossed their mind.

It is safe to say that sharing eco­no­ my found its place in event plan­ning primarily in the sphere of e­qu­ip­ ment sharing – furniture, such as conference chairs, bar tables, etc.

This is partially due to the lowest risk upon using and possible da­ ma­ge. Technical equipment and decoration sharing is still timidly used, but we can expect its growth, once these practices get more elaborated.

Maybe the number of those who have individual transportation organized just for them in cases which are not high priority, will decrease.

This is more connected to the local and social legacy of events, but in

As far as Airbnb accommodation is concerned, for now, their services are not widely used in this region, especially not for corporate travels, so there is still no fear that this pla­tform will have some greater in­fluence on the hotels in the region.

#seebtm #kongresniturizam #seemice

r e s e a r c h

For example, decorators and people from the technical sector may offer the option of sharing with other planners, with suitable types of decoration and equipment.

Meanwhile, economic and environ­ mental awareness on vehicle sha­ ring is, surely, yet to grow.

So in the future, majority of companies will have established transportation sharing routines, whilst when business trips and transportation for events are in question, we can positively say that they already have established routines.

the future, the aware­ness on the food left over after ev­e­nts is to be, and will be, raised. There should be a predefined plan on donation of the food left from lunches, gala dinners, etc.

Normally, we are talking about do­ zens of kilos of food.

Yet, this trend shook up the global hotel industry therefore we recommend to carefully monitor the movement of this trend.

Nova ideja za organizatore

„Food truck” trend na događajima Food trucks podrazumevaju velika vozila opremljena i namenjena proizvodnji i prodaji hrane. Originalno potiču iz Sjedinjenih Država, a smatra se da su se poja­ vili još u 17 veku.

Pretečom današnjih food trucks se smatra chuckwagon, koji je 1866. godine napravio Charles G­oodnight rančer iz Teksasa.

Naime, na­kon američkog građans­ kog rata stoča­ri su čuvali stoku u uda­ljenim delo­vima zemlje, stoga su im bile po­trebne zalihe hrane i za po neko­liko meseci.

Charles je došao na ideju da vojnički karavan modifikuje za potrebe stočara. Na zadnji deo karavana dodao je tzv. „chuck box“ koji se sastojao od fi­o­ka i polica za skladištenje hra­ne, kao i pločom koja je predsta­ vljala radnu površinu za kuvanje.

Dodatno postojali su delovi za vodu, kao i za drva.

Tridesetak godina nakon stvaranja chuckwagon-a, pojavljuju se ulični prodavci kobasica, koji počinju i sa prodajom hrane u velikim univerzi­ tetima (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Co­rnell). U narodu su nazivani „dog wagons”. Godine 1950. pojavljuju se prva vozila koja prodaju sladoled.

Ovo su počeci mobilne industrije hrane u Americi, koja se vremenom proširila i na ceo svet.

U današnje vreme food trucks se najčešće povezuju sa konceptom pop-up restorana, koji podrazumevaju mobilne restorane, koji putem društvenih mreža svoje posetioce obaveštavaju o kretanju i trenutnoj lokaciji. Najveću popularnost imaju u Americi, Australiji i Velikoj Britaniji.

Food trucks se sve više koriste i prilikom organizacije događaja.

Prednosti i opcije koje ova vozila nude prilikom planiranja određenog događaja su razne. Ukoliko npr. organizujete višesatni seminar

ili predavanje u hotelu ili nekom drugom zatvorenom prostoru, ru­čak možete organizovati ispred hotela, ukoliko lokacija i vremenski uslovi dozvoljavaju. Hrana i piće bi bili pripremani u kamionima, sa mogućnošću raznovrsne kuhinje i kreiranja restorana na otvorenom.

Takođe, food trucks organizatorima događaja omogućavaju i organizaciju događaja izvan hotelskih i event prostora, npr. u prirodi ili lokacijama izvan gradova.

Na ovaj način delegatima se pruža drugačiji koncept od uobičajenog, podstiče se interaktivnost, omogućeno im je da izađu iz prostorija za sastanke i uživaju u inovativnom i drugačijem posluženju.

Takođe, samom događaju se daje poseban značaj i nešto po čemu će ga učesnici pamtiti i izdvojiti u odnosu na ostale.

Food trucks su pogodni za razne vrste promocija, prezentacija, tim bildinga i ostalih događaja, naročito

ukoliko se održavaju na otvorenom.

Kamione je moguće brendirati i prilagoditi događaju i kompaniji.

Posebna prednost kamiona je njihova funkcionalnost i opremljenost kako za pravljenje tako i za služenje hrane i pića.

U Americi se food trucks često ko­ri­ste na eventima i u zatvorenom pro­sto­ru, kada tema i brending doga­đa­ja to dozvoljavaju.

Primeri iz prakse su raznovrsni, a pored angažovanja food trucks-a za potrebe kompletnih keteringa za učesnike nekog događaja, koriste se i za služenje sladoleda, dezerta, kafe, piva i sl.

Poslednjih godina, kao deo lifestyle koncepta velikih gradova, pojavili su se food truck festivali. U Americi ovi festivali su prisutni već godinama, dok je ovaj trend u Evropi počeo da se razvija proteklih par godina.

Hrana koja se predstavlja i služi može biti raznovrsna, od azijske kuhinje, do craft piva, sladoleda, raznih poslastica kao i standardnih fast food proizvoda.

Najpoznatiji i najveći festival u Evropi organizuje se u Briselu. Okuplja prosečno oko 100.000 posetilaca koji uživaju u kulinarskim veštinama predstavlje­nih na oko 100 food truck-ova. Festival se održava na preko 3 km prostora, u samom centru Brisela.

U Srbiji ovaj trend još uvek nije oži­veo, organizuju se festivali piva i kafe, ali ne podrazumevju angažo­ vanje food truck kamiona.

New Idea for Organizers

Food Truck Trend on Events A food truck is a large vehicle equipped to cook and sell food. Originating from the United States, the first food trucks are thought to have appeared in the 17th century.

The precursor of today’s food trucks was the chuckwagon, made in 1866

by Charles Goodnight, a Texas cattle rancher. After the American Civil War, cowhands herded cattle in re­mote parts of the country and we­re in need of food stocks that co­uld provide supplies for months

at a time. It oc­curred to Charles to adjust a mi­li­tary wagon to fit the needs of cattle herders.

He added a so-called “chuck box” to the back of a wagon, with interior shelving and drawers for storing pro­ visions, and a board which ser­ved as cooking surface.

The wa­gon was also stocked with a water barrel and a sling for firewood.

In the thirties, the chuckwagon was followed by food carts selling hot­dogs on the streets of cities and lar­ge university campuses (Yale, Har­ va­rd, Princeton, Cornell), popularly called “dog wagons”.

In 1950, the first ice cream carts ap­peared. This was the start of Ameri­ca’s street food industry, which gra­dually spread to the rest of the world.

Today, food trucks are most commonly associated with pop-up restaurants, temporary diners which typically use social media to notify their clients of their movement and their current location. Pop-up restaurants are popular in the U.S., Australia, and Great Bri­tain.

Food trucks are also gaining po­pu­ larity in event organization. The ad­ vantages and possibilities offered by

If, for instance, you are organizing a several-hours-long seminar or lecture at a hotel or some other indoor facility, you can organize lunch in front of the hotel, location and weather permitting.

Food and drinks would be prepared in the trucks, providing various means of cooking and creating an outdoor restaurant.

Additionally, food trucks allow ev­­­ent organizers the possibility of ar­­ranging events outside of hotels and other event facilities, outdoors in natural surroundings or in other locations outside the city.

In this way, participants are offered a concept that is unusual, stimula­ tes interaction, and allows them to leave the meeting room and enjoy an innovative and out of the ordi­ nary way of catering.

The event thus gains special significance and becomes something that will stay in the participants’ minds long after other gatherings.

cream, desert, coffee, beer, etc.

In recent years, food truck festivals have become part of the big city lifestyle concept.

While these festivals are not new in America, in Europe they appeared only a few years ago. Food truck festivals garner large numbers of visitors as they are usually free of charge.

The food presented and served there can vary widely, from Asian cuisine, to craft beer, ice cream, va­rious deserts, and standard fast food menus.

The biggest and most popular fes­ti­ val of this type in Europe is organi­ zed in Brussels. It has approximately 100 000 visitors, who come to en­joy culinary skills presented on about 100 food trucks. The festival grounds spread over 3 km in the center of Brussels.

This trend is still unknown in Serbia and while beer and coffee festivals are organized regularly, they do not normally involve the use of food trucks.

Food trucks are a good choice for various types of promotions, presentations, team building activities, and other events, especially those held outdoors.

Trucks can be branded and tailored to suit a particular event and/or company. Other advantages of food trucks are their functionality and their equipment for cooking and serving food and drinks.

In the U.S., food trucks are often used for catering at indoor events, when the theme and branding of the event allow it.

There are many instances of their use not only for complete catering of events but also for serving ice

DT Croatia i Talas-M DMC

Regionalna saradnja pomera granice u organizaciji događaja DT Croatia i Talas-M zahvaljujući strateškom partnerstvu i kancelarijama koje imaju u Hrvatskoj, Crnoj Gori, Srbiji i Sloveniji organizatorima nude jedinstvene i neponovljive događaje. Kako su došli na ideju o partnerstvu, na koje načine se odvija njihova saradnja, koje su prednosti, a šta ograničenja, kao i planove za budućnost, podelili su redakcijom SEEbtm magazina, g-đa Snežana Vejnović iz Talas-M DMC i g-din Daniel Marušić iz Dubrovnik Travel – DT Croatia.

1. Kako se došlo na ideju o kreiranju grupacije DMC kompanija za region jugoistočne Evrope?

Snežana: Ideja je došla prirodno, kao nastavak našeg posla u djelatnosti turizma. Baveći se profesionalno svojom strukom, vi prosto živite vaš posao i naravno imate vizije.

Ideja o kreiranju DMC kompanija se rodila jako rano, dok još nije bilo pra­ktično ni infrastrukture za razvoj MICE-a u regijama okruženja, izuzev Dubrovnika i vidjeli svoj put razvoja i vidjeli sebe kao lidere u ovom vidu turizma u svojoj destinaciji.

Jako puno vremena i enegrije uložili smo u edukaciju i razumijevanje MI­CE biznisa, te kreiranje programa, otkrivanje novih sadržaja, praćenje tren­dova i kreiranje programa out of the box.

Hrvatska je već bila na tom putu, Crna Gora je stupila na scenu sa prvim ho­­te­ lom sa 5* tek prije 10 godina, po­tom su uslijedile Slovenija i Srbija. Ispostavilo se da je naše ra­zmišljanje ispravno i tržište je to potvrdilo, pos­lovni rezultat je jako brzo uslijedio. Ponosni smo na naš portfolio iza koga stoji jedan na­poran i vrijedan timski rad.

2. Možete li nam reći nešto više o ma­r­ketingu regiona? Gde nastupate zajedno kao grupacija, a gde idete odvojeno u poslovne poduhvate?

Daniel: Talas-M i DT često nastupaju zajedno, a na nekim tržištima i odvojeno, zavisno od tržišta. Jedno dugo

52

vrijeme marketing smo radili zajedno prije nego što su turističke organizacije, pa čak i mediji i drugi dmc-evi uopće shvatili da mora postojati suradnja i da tržište to traži.

Prije nego je konkurencija uopće ramišljala o tome i općenito se učila osnovama našeg posla, mi smo već bili mnogo napredniji te vidjeli te mogućnosti.

Danas kad se otkrila naša „tajna uspijeha” radimo isključivo na kvaliteti us­ luge i na sigurnosti poslo­ vanja s nama, dok nas drugi kopiraju ili kritiziraju ili politički ignoriraju.

Znamo da je biti br. 1 uvijek teško, a još teže održati tu poziciju.

Zajedničkim nastupima mi i dalje postižemo više, a ujedno se i režu troškovi. Mono destinacije su svakako hit i uvijek će biti, ali naša regija nudi cjelogodišnje rješenje, za sve tipove programa: urbane centre - Beograd, Zagreb, Ljubljanu, te sunce i more Crnu Goru, Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Istru, Portorož, a svakako zimske radosti nude Kranjska gora, Kolašin, Kopaonik itd. Često nastupamo kao grupacija na svim važnijim sajmovima i workshopovima struke MICE, također smo regionalni ekskluzivni članovi najstarije i najkvalitetnije DMC grupacije

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

Snežana Vejnović, Talas-M DMC

Euromic, čiji uredi u Briselu i Čikagu rade marketing globalno na svim kontinentima, članovi smo također Ovation Global DMC mreže, eksklu­zi­ vno za regiju, DT grupacija je izgla­sana najboljom i najkvalitetnijom DMC gru­ pacijom u toj mreži, DT je bio prvi ISO sertificiran DMC u regiji, DT je no­sitelj AAA sertifikata o bonitetu već dugi niz godina, Talas-M osvojio je nekoliko nacionalnih nagrada za svoje uspijehe, Talas-M je imao najzahtijevnije incentive projekte itd.

Danas kad među istinskim iskusnim svjetskim profesionalcima spomenete Ovation i Euromic odmah znate da je riječ o najozbiljnijem obliku MICE biznisa. Često se Talas-M i DT u svijetu uzimaju kao uzor uspiješnih DMC sistema. Nažalost to niti naš dugogodišnji trud u stavljanju regije na mapu

a g e n c i j a

Znamo da je biti br. 1 uvijek teško, a još teže održati tu poziciju.

MICE svijeta se ne cijeni regionalno jer se u zadnjih nekoliko godina ubacio jedan veliki broj instant MICE regionalnih radnika i subjekata koji povijest i iskustvo kroje na svoj „instant” način.

Jednom rečenicom, Talas-M i DT su globalno priznati DMC lideri regiona, a to je nama jedino važno jer time se dokazuje sav naš trud i rad, jučer i danas, a to se ne može kupiti ni novcem niti obećanjima.

3. Možete li nam reći više o saradnji između Talas-M DMC i DT Croatia u pro­daji aranžmana između Crne Gore i Hrvatske, kao i o saradnji Talas-S i Ta­las-M DMC po pitanju prodaje aranž­ mana za incentive putovanja između Srbije i Crne Gore?

Snežana: Od samog početka naše sa­radnje mi smo sve destinacije pred­ sta­vljali kao zasebne cjeline, gdje se u svakoj od destincija može raditi ince­ tive program, kao i kombinacija dvije ili čak više destinacija.

Crna Gora je u samom početku tretirana samo kao jednodnevna ekskurzija iz Dubrovnika. Našim marketinškim aktivnostima smo se borili i koristili svaku priliku da prezentiramo Crnu Goru kao zasebnu destinaciju, i u tome smo uspijeli.

U svojim aktivnostima smo vrlo trans­ parentni i našim partnerima je jasno da će ih u bilo kojoj destinaciji sačekati ekspert koji srcem i dušom pripada toj regiji i posjeduje lokalni know-how i posluje po standardima koje smo godinama nadograđivali i prilagođavali savremenim uslovima i trendovma turističke industrije.

Po dobijanju brifa mi odmah znamo koja od destinacija je idealna za dati upit i, ako je recimo tražena Crna Go­ ra, a mi smatramo da Srbija ili Slovenija više odgovaraju, mi ćemo predložiti to našem klijentu i predočiti mu jasno koje su prednosti.

Ovo je jedan od na­čina na koji promovišemo destinacije u okviru regije.

Spozna Palace Dubrovnik, Hrvatska

Suština je da se biznis dobije i ostane među nama i to za destinaciju koja najbolje odgovara potrebama našeg klijenta.

4. Koja su ograničenja u poslovanju u regionu u ovakvom zajedničkom nastupu, a koje su beneficije?

Daniel: Našim zajedničkim akcijama svakako smo doprinjeli regionu i des­ tinacijama više nego ijedan dru­gi sli­ čan sustav. Godine iza našeg početka su shvatili mediji, konkurenti, ostali subjekti da to što mi radimo radimo dobro i da od toga imaju svi koristi, te da je bitno i uspiješno za sve.

Za nas je sve to dokaz kako smo u pravu bili, i taj vjetar koji nas vodi dalje i krstari naše poslovanje sigurnim vodama samo nas čini jačima svakim danom. Beneficije mnogi računaju u novcu, međutim nama održavanje zadovoljnih klijenata, dobivanje novih

poslova, status i globalna prepoznatljivost je naš uspijeh koji nas diže iznad svega. S obzirom da još uvijek naša regija je opterećena politikom i poviješću nekad imamo zamjerki na suradnju ali toga je sve manje i manje.

Biznis nema granica, turizam ne poznaje limite, a mi smo dokaz tome.

5. Koje su razlike a koje sličnosti u poslovanju agencija?

Snežana: Djelimično sam već dala odgovor na ovo pitanje, ukratko slični su nam standardi poslovanja i jaka posvećenost poslu i promociji destinacija kao i cijele regije.

Razlike su nam uglavnom u estetskom doživljaju, ne možemo da se usaglasimo koji tim je ljepši. Volimo izazove, ponekad i ne­moguće misije, u kojima dolazi do izra­žaja naša snaga i timski rad. Svaka destinacija ima svoje specifičnosti i upravo u tome su i razlike.

a g e n c i j a 6. Kakvi su Vam planovi za budućnost?

Daniel: S obzirom na situaciju u svijetu naši planovi se mijenjaju dinamično, nemamo nekih dugoročnih planova, osim da unapređujemo kvalitetu us­ luge prema klijentima i da podižemo zadovoljstvo svojih ljudi, jer ljudi su nam najbitnija karika u lancu, bez njih ne bi bilo ni našeg uspijeha.

Okrećemo novu stranicu uskoro, još više ćemo neke zajedničke akcije usavršiti i osnažiti jer vidimo da još uvijek imamo prostora za napredak.

Također, svjedoci smo mnogih subjekata koji u nama vide priliku za svoje trenutne uspijehe, rijetki od njih ostanu u igri dugo, odlaze prije ili kasnije, nemaju konzistentnost u poslovanju, posluju bez strategije, i to je šteta velika, jer ostavljaju loš imidž ove industrije na našim područjima, i onda nas malobrojne stavljaju u lošu

Večera, Lido Mar bazen, Porto Montenegro, Tivat, Crna Gora

poziciju te s vremenom na vrijeme imamo problema u dokazivanju da naša industrija nije samo profitno orijentirana već i da doprinosi imidžu i razvoju kvaliteti destinacija koje nu­dimo, i da postoje agencije koje se tru­de i ulažu svoja sredstva i vrijeme u napredak MICE ponude uzimajući u obzir sva ograničenja ali isto tako

poštujući lokalne običaje a na prvom mjestu zakonsku regulativu.

U tom smislu planovi za budućnost ostaju da naše poslovanje održimo kvalitetnim i da ljude profesionalce u našim timovima usavršavamo i da im omogućimo osobni napredak i zadovoljstvo.

DT Croatia and Talas-M DMC

Regional Cooperation Pushing the Envelope in Event Planning Thanks to their strategic partnership and offices in Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia, DT Cro­a­tia and Talas-M provide event planners with unique and unforgettable events. Mrs. Snezana Vejnovic from Talas-M DMC and Mr. Daniel Marusic from Dubrovnik Travel – DT Croatia shared with SEEbtm magazine about how they came up with the idea for the partnership and how exactly they work to­gether, abo­ut the advantages and the drawbacks they face, as well as about their plans for the future.

1. How did the idea of creating a group of DMCs for the Southeast Europe region come about?

Snezana: The idea came about orga­ nically, as a development of our work in the tourism industry. When you’re a professional in what you do, you simply live your work and, naturally, you have visions.

The idea for creating the group of DMCs appeared very early on – at the time when the region practically had no infrastructure whatsoever for the development of MICE, with the exception of Dubrovnik – and we saw the path of our growth and ourselves as leaders in this branch of tourism in our destination.

We have been investing huge amounts of time and energy in educating and understanding the MICE business, as well as in developing programs, discovering new amenities and featu­ res, following trends, and creating programs out of the box.

Croatia has already travelled this road, Montenegro entered the scene with its first five-star hotel only ten years ago, and then Slovenia and Serbia ca­me after. It turned out that we were right in our thinking and the market responded accordingly – the first business results were quick to follow. We are proud of our portfolio because it’s backed by hard, dedicated teamwork.

2. Can you tell us a bit about the marketing of the region? Where do you act together as a group, and where do you venture into business separately?

Daniel: Talas-M and DT frequen­ tly act together, and in some mar­kets se­parately – depending on the market itself.

We were doing marke­ting toge­ ther for quite so­me time, before tourist or­ga­nizations or even the media or other DMCs even reali­ zed that we have to collaborate and that the market needs it.

Before the competition was even contemplating it and while it was still le­ar­ning the ropes in general, we were already much mo­re ahead and we saw these possibilities. Today, when the “secret” to our success is out in the open, we are working solely on the quality of service and the security of doing business with us, while others copy us or criticize us or ignore us for political reasons. We realize that being at the top is always hard, and that staying there is harder still. By acting together we still achieve more, also cutting costs at the same time.

Seasonal destinations are most certainly hugely popular and always will be, but our region offers year-round solutions for all types of programs: urban centers – Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, as well as seaside and sunshine – Mon­tenegro, Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Istra, and Portoroz, and the joys of winter are sure to be found in Kranjska gora, Kolasin, Kopaonik, etc.

We often appear as a group in all sig­ nificant trade shows and workshops in

Daniel Marusic Dubrovnik Travel – DT Croatia

MICE. In addition, we are regional exclusive members of the best and oldest DMC group Euromic, whose offices in Brussels and Chicago manage marketing globally across every continent.

We are also exclusive regional mem­ b­ers of the Ovation Global DMC net­work – the DT group was voted the be­st DMC group in the network.

DT was awarded the first ISO certificate as a DMC in the region, and it has been holding a AAA credit rating for years now.

Talas-M won several national awards for its achievements; it had the most demanding incentive projects, etc.

Today, when you mention Ovation or Euromic among true, experienced world-class professionals, you immediately know that you’re talking about the highest level of the MICE business.

Talas-M and DT are often cited as an example of successful DMC systems.

Unfortunately, neither that nor our

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | May 2016

55

a g e n c y

We realize that being at the top is always hard, and that staying there is harder still. years-long efforts in putting the region on the map of the MICE world are ap­ preciated locally because over the last few years a number of instant MICE workers and businesses have sprouted up that tailor history and experience in their own “instant” ways.

In short, Talas-M and DT are globally recognized regional DMC leaders, and that is the only thing that matters to us, because it proves all our efforts and hard work, both past and present, and you can’t buy that, not with money nor with promises.

3. Can you tell us a bit about the collaboration between Talas-M DMC and DT Croatia in selling travel packages between Montenegro and Croatia, as well as about the collaboration be­tween Talas-S and Talas-M DMC in regard to selling travel packages for incentive travel between Serbia and Montenegro?

Snezana: From the very start of our collaboration, we have been presenting all destinations as separate wholes, with every destination being available for incentive programs, in addition to combining two or even more destinations.

At the very beginning, Montenegro was treated only as a one-day extension from Dubrovnik. We fought hard with our marketing activities and used

Aman Resоrt, St. Stefan, Montenegro

every opportunity to present Montenegro as a separate destination, and in this we succeeded.

We are extremely transparent in our activities, and our partners are well aware that no matter the destination they will be greeted by an expert whose heart and soul belong to the region and who has the local know-how and works in accordance with standards that took years to upgrade and tailor to current requirements and trends in the tourism industry.

Right after we receive the brief we know which destination is ideal for the inquiry and, if for example the request cites Montenegro and we believe that Serbia or Slovenia are more appropriate, we make the suggestion to the client and clearly explain the advantages. This is one of the ways we promote destinations of the region.

The main point is to get business and keep it, for the destination that best suits our customer’s needs.

4. What are the drawbacks of doing business in the region this way and what are the benefits?

Daniel: We have certainly contributed to the region and the destinations with our joint action more than any other system of a similar kind. The media, the competition, and other businesses took years after we first started to realize that we are good at what we do and that we all benefit from it, as well as that our work is important and brings success to all of us. To us, all this is proof that we were right, and this wind beneath our wings that helps our business sail across safe waters only makes us stronger day by day. Many people see benefits through a financial lens, but to us keeping our clients satisfied, acquiring new business, status, and global visibility make up our success, which raises us above everything else. Considering that our region is still burdened with politics and history, sometimes we have complaints about working together, but these are fewer and fewer every day. Business knows no borders, tourism knows no limits, and we are the living proof.

5. What are the similarities and what are the differences in the ways agencies work?

Palm terrace, Dubrovnik, Croatia

56

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | May 2016

Snezana: I already answered this qu­estion in part; in a word, we have similar business standards and strong commitment to work and promoting both the region and the destinations.

Most of our differences concern aest­ hetics; we just can’t agree on which

a g e n c y team is the prettiest one. We love chal­lenges, and at times even impos­ sible missions, where our strength and our teamwork shine through. Every destination has its specifics and this is indeed where their differences lie.

6. What are your plans for the future?

Daniel: Bearing in mind the situation globally, our plans are always changing in a dynamic way, we have no long-term plans, except to improve the quality of service according to our customers and increase satisfaction among our employees, because people are the most important link in our chain, we wouldn’t be able to succeed if it weren’t for them. We are

soon turning a new leaf, we are going to improve and strengthen certain joint actions even more because we can see that we still have room for improvement. Also, we are witness to many organizations that see us as an opportunity for their short-lived achievements. Rare are those that stay in the game for long, sooner or later they leave, they have no consistency in business, they have no business strategy, and this causes great damage because they give a bad name to this industry in our region, which puts the few of us good ones in a bad position and from time to time we have a hard time proving that our industry is not only profit oriented, but instead it also

contributes to the reputation and the quality of the destinations that we offer, and that there are agencies that work hard and invest their means and their time in the development of the MICE offering, taking into account all limitations and also observing local customs and laws and regulations above anything.

In this regard, our plans for the future remain the same: we want to maintain the quality of our business and develop the talented professionals in our teams, allowing them to grow and be happy on a personal level.

intervju

Goran Vlašić, Predsjednik Akademskog Veća Instituta za inovacije u Zagrebu

Stvaranje novih vrednosti kroz intelektualni i kreativni razvoj

Goran Vlašić

Poželimo dobrodošlicu Goranu Vla­šiću, predsedniku Veća Instituta za inovacije u Zagrebu.

Počnimo sa time šta je Institut za inovacije i šta on predstavlja?

Institut za inovacije je neprofitna organizacija čiji je cilj stvaranje vre­dnosti na nivou pojedinca i orga­nizacija negujući kreativnost, inovativnost, nekonvencionalan na­čin razmišljanja i preispitivanje dogmi. Od svog osnivanja, Institut za inovacije predstavlja inovativnu silu, razvijajući i kreirajući programe koji pomažu istinski intelektualni i kreativni razvoj svojih učesnika, omogućavajući time stvaranje novih vrednosti. Kroz razne ob­razovne programe, Institut nastoji da pruži iskustva koja menjaju način razmi­ šljanja, ostavljaju jak utisak na po­jedince i organizacije i postižu dugo­ročne rezultate. Šta čini programe Instituta za ino­vacije drugačijim, posebno za regionalne menadžere i preduzetnike?

Programi Instituta za inovacije us­ mereni su ka stvaranju dru­gačijeg pogleda (A Different View®) na kri­tične poslovne izazove. Fokusirani su na razmevanje osnovnih principa

koji pokreću razne pojave u oblasti poslovanja. Stoga radimo isključivo sa vrhunskim profesorima u regionu i svetu koji imaju značajan uticaj na sopstvene stručne oblasti. Među njima su prof. Barnett (Stanford), prof. Bradley (Harvard), prof. Deighton (Harvard), prof. Chandy (LBS), prof. Carpenter (Kellogg), prof. Gultekin (Wharton), prof. Sitkin (Duke), prof. Massa (INSEAD), prof. Troilo (Bocconi) itd. Programi Instituta upoznaju učesnike sa ključnim globanim trendovima, najsavremenijim istraživanjima i najboljom svetskom praksom dajući im time mogućnost da postanu tvorci najbolje prakse, a ne samo njeni sledbenici.

Osim veoma širokih mogućnosti za lični razvoj, programi Instituta za inovacije pružaju dragocene mogućnosti umrežavanja kroz intenzivnu interakciju vrhunskih menadžera koji jedni drugima pomažu u reša­ vaju ključnih problema.

Zašto bi menadžeri i preduzetnici (pogotovo ako su veoma uspešni) pohađali nastavne programe?

Njihovo vreme je krajnje deficitarna roba – zašto ga „traćiti“ na edukaciju?

Edukativni programi se razlikuju.

Zato je Institut za inovacije usmeren ka pružanju osnovnih principa koji preispituju ustaljene dogme kompanija, tržišta i delatnosti.

Kako pojedinac postaje sve bolji u određenoj delatnosti/struci, on/ona se suočava sa „prokletstvom uspeha“, eksploatišući sve više postojeće sposobnosti, usmeravanjem pažnje na procese i optimizaciju ali dugoročno gledano možda osuđujući svoju kompaniju na propast.

sveta koje su starije od 150 godina.

To je prilično teško s obzirom da sa rastućim uspehom kompanija i menadžera njihovi kratkoročni rezulati bivaju sve bolji ali uglavnom ograničavaju njihov budući potencijal.

Dok je edukacija koja se bavi vešti­ nama i već usvojenim zna­njima zaista „gubljenje vremena“ za vr­hunske stručnjake, obrazovanje koje pruža Institut za inovacije usmereno je ka višem nivou programa koji menjaju način razmišljanja. Iako se znanje i veštine mogu steći putem knjiga, kurseva putem interneta i video materijala, programi Instituta za inovacije koji menjaju način razmišljanja stvaraju osnove za ogroman razvoj pojedinca i kompanije stvarajući ravnotežu između kratkoročnih i dugoročnih rezultata.

Programi Instituta za inovacije usmereni su ka stvaranju vrednosti pri čemu inovacija i rast postaju logični ishodi razvijenog načina razmišljanja i sistema, a ne slučajnih događaja (što je ono što čovek uglavnom smatra pod inovacijom).

Primećujemo da su neke od naj­boljih i najvećih hrvatskih kompanija prepoznale vrednost koju pružaju edukativni programi Instituta za inovacije.

Kakvi su vaši planovi za dalje širenje u regionu?

Ključno za postizanje stalnog pomeranja koje stvara novu vrednost leži u bliskom partnerstvu Instituta za inovacije sa velikim kompanijama koje shvataju važnost inovacije i stvaranja nove vrednosti. Naš cilj je da proširimo saradnju sa kompanijama u regionu i privučemo još veći

broj menadžera izvan Hrvatske da učestvuju u našim programima i da unaprede potencijal u pogledu konkurentnosti i inovacije u regionu.

Trenutno smo u procesu uspostavljanja parterstava sa velikim partnerima u Sloveniji i Srbiji i uvereni smo da ćemo uspostaviti mnoga uspešna i dugotrajna partnerstva.

Vratimo se na stvaranje vrednosti. Kako se tačno Institut za inovacije bavi stvaranjem vrednosti za kompanije u regionu?

Da bi unapredio stvaranje vrednosti na osnovu inovacije: a) Institut za inovacije tesno sarađu­ je sa drugim kompanijama na: 1. stvaranju kulture inovacije zas­ novane na načinu razmišljanja svih učesnika koji stvara vrednost a koji je prožet sistemom vrednosti, principima, praksom i pristupom koji rešava prob­ leme; 2. uvođenju In­novationChecklist® pristupa čiji autor je In­stitut za inovacije, koji pruža struktuiran, postepen pristup kreativ­ nosti i inovativnosti koji će iz­vu­ći maksimum iz ino­­vativnog potencijala jedne organizacije;

3. razvijanju inovativnog sistema koji stvara sistemski razvoj, ne­­govanje i pretvaranje ideja u poslovne uspehe. b) Institut tesno sarađuje sa poje­ dincima i timovima koji stvaraju vrednost na: 1. podsticanju i razvijanju njihovih intelektualnih i kreativnih po­tencijala kroz programe usme­rene pre svega ka razvijanju na­čina razmišljanja i znanja pojedinca, 2. podsticanju i razvijanju njihovih proizvodnih po­tencijala, istovre­menim širenjem nji­ho­ vog idejnog potencijala i poma­ ganjem da se on razvije u „plug and play“ projektno rešenje.

Na kraju, šta smatrate ključnim za regionalni razvoj?

Sve dok budemo samo posmatra­li šta drugi rade i nastojali da „primenimo najbolju praksu“, naš region će ostati samo sledbenik.

Iako kratkoročno gledano to može izgledati kao sigurna pozicija, na du­že staze ovakve strategije vode ka konkurenciji zasnovanoj na ceni.

To se vidi u mnogim delatnostima u našem regionu. Ovo može izgledati

kao dobra strategija ali na svetu uvek postoji neko drugi ko može ponuditi isto po nižoj ceni.

Da bismo postali relevantni na glo­ balnom nivou, najveći mislioci našeg regiona moraju biti upoznati sa osnovnim principima koji po­kreću ekonomiju i poslovanje kako bi mo­gli da ponude globalne inovacije koje će imati snagu da promene delatnosti. To je stvaranje vrednosti koje Institut za inovacije nastoji da postigne svojim programima.

Na primer, kako ekonomija posredničkih platformi ulazi na sve veći broj tržišta i u sve veći broj delatnosti, od prevashodne je važnosti da menadžeri razumeju osnovne principe te nove tržišne stvarnosti.

Stoga se sledeći program Instituta, Leadership Program, bavi poslovanjem i tehnologijom sa namerom da upozna polaznike sa principima koji leže u osnovi kompanija koje se takmiče na platformi umesto kao platforma (npr. Booking.com, AirBNB itd.) i time kako da in­tegrišu životnu vrednost klijenta kao sopst­ veni strateški cilj umesto udela na tržištu i drugih stereotipnih mera učinka.

interview

Goran Vlasic, Council Chair of Innovation Institute in Zagreb

Creating New Values Through Intellectual and Creative Development We welcome Goran Vlasic, Council Chair of the Innovation Institute from Zagreb. We can start with what is Innovation Institute and what does it stand for?

Innovation Institute is a non-profit organization aiming at value creation at individual and organizational levels, by nurturing creativity, innovation, unorthodox thinking and dogma questioning. Since its foundation, Innovation Institute has been a disruptive force developing and delivering programs that facilitate genuine intellectual and creative growth of its participants thus enabling new value creati­on.

Through various educational pro­ grams Institute strives towards min­ d­set-changing experience that will make a strong impact on individuals and companies and deliver results in the long run.

What makes Innovation Institu­ te’s programs different, espe­ci­ ally for regional managers and entrepreneurs?

60

Innovation Institute’s programs focus on delivering A Different View® on pressing business challenges.

Focus is on understanding the underlying principles that drive different business-related phenomena.

Therefore, we are working only with regional and global top pro­ fessors who significantly impact their disciplines. Such professors include prof. Bar­nett (Stanford), prof.

Bradley (Har­vard), prof. Deighton (Harvard), prof. Chandy (LBS), prof.

Carpenter (Kellogg), prof. Gultekin (Wharton), prof. Sitkin (Duke), prof.

Massa (INSEAD), prof. Troilo (Bocconi), etc.

Institute’s programs expose par­tici­ pants to key global trends, cuttingedge research, and best global practices allowing them to be creators of best practices, rather than mere followers.

Besides immense personal develo­ pment opportunities, Innovation Institute’s programs enable valua­ ble networking opportunities as

regional top managers intensely interact to address each-others’ pressing issues.

Why should managers and ent­ re­preneurs (especially if they are highly successful) engage in education? Their time is highly scarce resource – why “waste” it on education?

Not every education program is the same. That is why Innovation Institute focuses on delivering underlying principles that challenge dominant dogmas of companies, markets and industries. As one becomes better in a certain industry/job he/she faces the “curse of success” increasingly exploiting existing competences, focusing on processes and optimization, but potentially dooming the company in the long run. Try to name 15 companies globally older than 150 years. It is rather difficult since as companies and managers become more successful, their short-term

results enhance but generally limit their future potentials. While education focused on skills and known knowledge is truly a “waste of ti­me” for top performers, education that Innovation Institute delivers focuses on higher-level mindset-changing programs. Although knowledge and skills can be learned via books, on-line co­ur­ses and videos, Innovation Institu­te’s mindset changing programs de­velop foundation for an immense individual and company growth balancing the short-term and long-term results. Innovation Institute’s programs are focusing on value creation where innovation and growth become lo­gical conclusions of well-developed mindsets and systems, rather than random events (which is what one usually thinks of innovation).

1. Create innovation culture gro­­unded in the value-creating mi­nd­sets of everyone involved that are instilled through a set of values, principles, p­­rac­tices and problem-solving a­pproaches; 2. Implement Innovation Insti­ tu­te’s proprietary Innovati­ onChecklist® approach that enables structured step-bystep approach to creativity and innovation thus maximi­ zing organization’s innovati­on potentials;

plementing the best practices”, our region will always be a follower.

While it is a relatively safe position in the short run, in the long run such strategies lead to competition based on price. This can be seen in many industries in our region.

While this can seem like a good strategy – there is always someone somewhere globally who can deliver at lower costs.

3. Develop innovation sy­stem that creates a systemic de­ ve­­lop­ment, nurturing and im­ple­mentation of ideas into commercial successes.

that drive economics and business in order to be able to deliver global innovations which have a power to change industries.

b) Innovation Institute works clo­se­ ly together with value-creating individuals and teams to:

This is the value creation that Innovation Institute aims to achieve in its programs. For example, as platform economics are entering increasing number of markets and industries, it is paramount that managers understand the underlying principles of such new market realities. Therefore Institute’s next program is Leadership Program fo­ cusing on Business and Tech, whi­ch aims to expose participants to principles be­hind businesses that compete on a platform vs. as a platform (e.g. Booking.com, AirBNB, etc) and how to integrate consumer lifetime va­lue as one’s strategic goal instead of market share and such traditional measures of performance.

To become relevant globally, our region’s top thinkers must be exposed to the underlying principles

#seebtm #kongresniturizam #seemice

i n t e r v i e w

We can see that some of the best and biggest Croatian co­mpanies have recognized the value In­no­ va­tion Institute’s educational programs provide.

What are your plans for further expansion in the region?

The key to achieving persistent va­ lue-creating disruptions lies in Inno­ vation Institute’s close partnershi­ps with great companies which recognize the importance of innovation and new value creation. Our go­al is to extend cooperation with regional companies and bring even more managers outside Croatia to engage in our programs and to excel competitiveness and innovation potentials in the region. We are now in the process of partnering with great partners in Slovenia and Serbia and we are convinced that we will engage in many successful and long-term partnerships.

Let`s go back to value-creation.

How does Innovation Institute specifically engage in value-creation for regional companies?

In order to enhance innovationbased value creation: a) Innovation Institute works clo­se­ ly together with companies to:

1. Challenge and develop their intellectual and creative po­ten­ tials, through programs that aim primarily at develo­ping individuals’ mindsets and knowledge.

2. Challenge and develop their productive potentials, by jo­­intly enhancing their idea’s potential and facilitating its development into a plug-andplay project solution.

Lastly, what do you believe is key for regional development?

Mali grad velikih mogućnosti

Portorož – Sve što vam treba za događaje Najpoznatiji turistički centar na slovenačkom primorju, sa svega 3.000 stanovnika, Portorož je grad koji će prijatno iznenaditi svakog gosta svojim brojnim i raznolikim sadržajima.

Raznolikost smeštaja za sve vrste doživljaja Portorož sa svojom okolinom daje veliki niz mogućnosti za smeštaj go­stiju, bilo da se radi o učesnicima događaja ili individualnim gostima.

Prvo što bi većina pomislila su hoteli na obali mora uz šetališta, koji nude usluge na svetskom nivou.

Tu bi svakako trebalo pomenuti Grand Hotel Bernardin sa 5 zvezdica, kao i ostale hotele u okviru grupacije Hoteli Bernardin.

Hotel je izgrađen 1908. godine i od tada pa sve do danas predstavlja turistički objekat najviše kategorije, kao i kulturni spomenik grada.

Oni koji bi pak probali nešto drugačije i izašli iz hotela, mogu potražiti smeštaj u mnogobrojnim selima u okolini. Njih odlikuju stare kamene kuće visoko na brdima, iznad mora

Sa autentičnim izgledom, visokim plafonima i rustičnim ambijentom, odličan je izbor za gala večere ili nesvakidašnje događaje.

Takođe, među neobičnim prostorima za događaje mogu se istaći i Franjevački manastir sa gracioznim atrijumom, kao i teatar Advitorij Portorož.

Hedonizam na stolu Tradicionalno glavno jelo, Piranski brancin u soli, jednostavno je, a odlično jelo.

Uz jelo se slobodno mogu dodati tartufi i masline, i naravno istarsko vino za potpun ugođaj.

Pokriti pleh slojem soli od oko 1 cm i položiti ribu preko soli. Po želji, dodati malo maslinovog ulja, grančicu ruzmarina i/ili malo belog luka u otvor stomaka. Pokriti otvor stomaka aluminijumskom folijom kako meso ne bi došlo u dodir sa solju. Prekriti celu ribu preostalom solju, tako da gornji sloj soli bude oko 1 cm ili više.

Prethodno zagrejati rernu na 200-220°C i peći 30 - 60 minuta, u zavisnosti od veličine ribe. Tokom pečenja so će se stvrdnuti i malo potamneti. Kada je riba pečena, polomiti slanu koru nožem ili tučkom i ukloniti svu so sa gornje strane ribe.

Da bi se uklonila koža (koja nije jestiva jer krljušt nije skinuta), uzeti nož ili viljušku i seći duž kičme, od glave do repa. Skloniti foliju sa stomaka i zaseći ribu od kraja stomaka do repa. Koža će se lako skinuti – podići kožu ili je uvijati oko viljuške pazeći da na ribu ne padne suviše soli.

Kada je gornji deo očišćen, riba je spremna za serviranje.

Foremost among them are certainly the five-star Grand Hotel Bernardin and other hotels belonging to the Hoteli Bernandin group.

From the most modern to medieval event venues Portoroz boasts several state-ofthe-art convention centers, offering

a large number of meeting rooms, the largest of them seating 1,200 participants. Outside the standard congress facilities, events can also be organized in the more unconventional surroundings, no less than in the warehouse of salt.

The building was constructed on the city’s beach in Napoleon’s time, from 1820 to 1845.

they can opt for bicycle or walking tours of the peninsula.

Many activities can be organized at other locations, but producing salt in the way it was made 700 years ago is an experience few other places can offer their visitors.

Salt played an important part in history and was the main source of wealth through the ages. A small part of the Strunjan salt flats has been preserved and the salt-pans in Secovlje Salina Nature Park is

one of the few places in the world where salt is still collected in the traditional way.

The first image to leave a lasting impression on any participant is the fantastic landscape of the salt fields. After a tour of these fields and the historic tale of the harmony between man and nature, teams could compete in the traditional method of producing salt.

Hedonism on a plate A traditional main course is the Piran sea bass in salt, a simple yet exquisite dish.

Truffles, olives, and naturally Istrian wine can be served with the wish according to taste.

Ingredients - 2 Piran sea bass – about 600-800 g each - 3 kg Piran salt (for baking) Preparation Clean the fish but don’t scale it. Rinse it and dry it with a paper towel. Cover a ba­ki­ ng tray with salt about 1 cm deep and place the fish on top. If preferred, put a few dro­ps of olive oil, a twig of rosemary and/or some garlic into the stomach ca­vi­ty.

Cover the stomach cavity opening with a piece of tin foil to avoid the meat co­m­i­ng in contact with salt. Cover the entire fish with the remaining salt 1 cm thick or mo­re.

Preheat the oven to 200-220°C and bake for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. While baking, the salt will harden and turn slightly brown. When the fish is done, crack the salt crust with a knife or kitchen mallet and remove all of the salt from the top half of the fish.

To remove the skin (which can’t be eaten because it hasn’t been scaled), take a knife or fork and cut along the back from head to tail. Remove the foil from the stomach and make another cut past the pelvic fins to the tail. The skin is easily removed – lift it or roll it on a fork while taking care not to drop too much salt on the fish.

Once the top half of the fish has been cleaned, it is ready to be served.

4. Zbog čega ste izabrali Portorož?

Portorož je izabran zato što obezbe­ đuje prelep obalski ambijent za događaj sa fantastičnim putevima, a zahvaljujući položaju u središnjem delu Evrope većina članova može da dođe do njega za nekoliko dana vo­ žnje.

Komunikativni ljudi, kafići, restorani i širok izbor smeštaja doprineće izuzetno ugodnom događaju.

U samom gradu nalaze se lokacije na otvorenom koje odgovaraju kreiranju događaja koji je „otvoren za sve“, zbog čega nije ograničen na isključivo tvrdokorne članove.

Trajaće tri dana sa početkom u čet­ vr­tak, 16. juna 2016. godine, uz živu muziku svake večeri na glavnom trgu preko puta hotela Grand Hotel Portorož.

5. Da li je primećeno povećano interesovanje za zemlje Jugoistočne Evrope kao nove lokacije?

H.O.G. članovi su stalno u potrazi za otkrivanjem novih puteva i zemalja,

68

pa dolasci u zemlje koje možda ranije nisu istražili predstavljaju ključni deo događaja.

6. Šta je za vas vrhunac događaja?

Vrhunac događaja su revija unikatnih motora koja će se održati u petak po podne na prelepom istorijskom Tartinijevom trgu, i parada u subotu – vozači Harley motora će se masovno okupiti i započeti vožnju u kojoj će uživati u prelepom krajoliku regiona, prolazeći kroz Koper i Izolu pre povratka u Portorož.

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

Oba događaja pružaju priliku da se vide prelepi i jedinstveni motori i ose­ti ova atmosfera.

2. What was the main challenge in or­ ganization of this event?

With such a large scale event over a large public venue there are a lot of stakeholders to consult with.

The local authorities have been very supportive and their involvement is vital in bringing all necessary stakeholders together in delivering an exciting open to all event.

4. Why did you choose Portoroz?

Portoroz was selected as it provides a beautiful coastal setting for the event with fantastic roads, in a central part of Europe making access for the majority of members a few days ride.

The friendly people, bars, restaura­ nts and the wide range of accommodation will make for an extremely en­joyable event.

The town itself has some open spa­ ces that lend themselves to creating an “open for all” event, allowing not just the hard core members to get involved.

It will take place over three days sta­rting on Thursday 16th June 2016 with live music each night on the ma­ in square opposite the Grand Hotel Portoroz.

5. Is there any increase of demand for South East European countries as a new location?

H.O.G. Members are always looking for new roads and counties to disco­ ver, so coming to countries they may

not have explored before is a key pa­ rt to the event.

6. What do you consider as a highlight of the event?

Highlights of the event include the Custom bike show which will take pla­ce on the Friday afternoon in the beautiful and historic Tartini Plaza, and the parade on Saturday where Harley riders will line up en-masse and embark upon a ride taking in the beautiful scenery of the region, riding through Koper and Isola before returning to Portoroz.

Both events offer a great chance for all to see beautiful and individual bi­ kes and soak up the atmosphere.

The event will also showcase the ve­ ry latest bikes from Harley-Davidson with many available for test-rides from the demo centre.

Luksuzni hotel Kempinski Palace Por­ to­rož ponovo je otvorio svoja vrata 2008. godine, posle nekoliko godina re­kon­strukcije istorijske Austrougarske palate, koja je nekada služila kao jedno od najvažnijih hotelskih odmorišta na austrijskom primorju.

Hotel je blizu srednjevekovnog bisera, grada Pirana, na samo nekoliko sati vožnje od aerodroma u Beogradu, Tr­s­tu, Ljubljani i Veneciji, zbog čega je nje­gova lokacija idealna za slobodno vre­me, posao ili avanture.

Pored navedenog, hotel je smešten iza prelepog istorijskog parka, koji je pogodan za specijalne događaje, venčanja iz bajke i promocije proizvoda.

U sklopu hotela Kempinski Palace je i 1.500 kvadratnih metara (16.145 kva­dratnih stopa) luksuznog Rose SPA ce­ntra, koji sadrži nekoliko sauna, kao i bazen sa toplom morskom vodom ko­ji može da bude i na otvorenom i na

zatvorenom. Rose Spa u ponudi ima tradicionalne tretmane u kojima se koriste najekskluzivniji svetski brendovi.

Moderne verzije lokalnih specijaliteta i klasične mediteranske kuhinje služe se u dva à-la-carte restorana, Fleur de Sel i Sophia. Jutarnji švedski sto sa delimičnim samoposluživanjem otvoren je do podneva u fantastičnoj sali Crystal Hall, koja omogućava raskošno uživanje u mirnim jutrima na terasi uz pijuckanje kafe i pogled na jadransku obalu.

Kempinski Palace Portorož je najbolje mesto duž Jadranskog mora koje pruža toplu istarsku gostoljubivost pomešanu sa upečatljivim evropskim Kempinski duhom.

Te godine su bila otvorena dva hotela iz sadašnje grupe, tadašnji hotel Bernardin (danas Histrion) i hotel Vile Park. Godinu dana kasnije završena je izgradnja još i hotela Pečina (danas Grand hotel Bernardin). Živahna poslovna prošlost oblikovala je turističku sliku današnje kompanije koja spaja celovitu ponudu za kvalitetan odmor i uživanje, kao i or­ganizaciju kongresne delatnosti na slovenačkoj obali.

Tri sačuvana zaštitna znaka koja su na tržištu priznata već četiri decenije – St. Bernardin, Salinera resort i San Simon resort – čine turističku ponudu kompanije Hoteli Bernardin.

Hoteli Bernardin

Hoteli Bernardin – 40 Years of Hospitality Tradition This year the company Hoteli Bernardin celebrates its 40th anniversary. Way back in 1976 began the story of hospitality tradition in business and leisure tourism.

That year two hotels of the present group opened their doors: hotel Bernardin (today hotel Histrion) and hotel Vile Park. A year later hotel Pečina (today Grand hotel Bernardin) was built.

A dynamic business past shaped the company that we see today: a company that has a comprehensive offer of services for a well-spent free time and the organisation of congresses and conventions on the Slovenian coast.

Three trademarks, which have been well-established on the market for already four decades – St. Bernardin resort, Salinera resort and San Simon resort – make touristic offer of Hoteli Bernardin.

They are located on prestigious locations in Portorož, Izola and Strunjan, and offer hotels, apartments, a con­ gress centre and various wellness centres with selected treatments for the general well-being.

In six hotels with a diverse offer of services for different market segme­ nts, from business to leisure tour-

ism, there are 1,184 hotel rooms, thus Hoteli Bernardin took great social respo­nsibility and the role of the ma­in representative of tourist activities in Slovenian Istria. Also, convention hall with capacity of 1,100 places makes Congress Centre Bernardin the biggest in Slovenia.

Venue Expo 2016

Vodeći sajam kongresne industrije Venue Expo sajam održaće se od 8. do 9. novembra 2016. godine u Exhibition Centre Liverpool, sa ciljem stvaranja uspešnog i živopisnog okruženja koje privlači sjajne poslovne prilike za izlagače, kupce i posetioce.

U

srcu jedne od vodećih evropskih destinacija za velike kongresne događaje, u centru Liverpu­la, Venue Expo nastupa ponovo nakon uspeha ostvarenog u 2015. godini.

Venue Expo je vodeći sajam u kongre­snoj industriji, sa ciljem stvaranja uspešnog i ži­vopisnog okruženja koje privlači sjajne poslovne prilike za izlagače, kupce i posetioce, i sa besplatnim ulazom. Sajam će ugostiti 200 izlagača, od kojih mnogi nisu iz Severozapadne Engleske, pa je samim tim ovo i nacionalni događaj. Prošle godine, Venue Expo 2015 privukao je mnoge destinacije, prostore i pružaoce usluga iz domena organizacije događaja.

Gradonačelnik Liverpula je izjavio, nakon što je posetio Venue Expo: „Uspeh Venue Expo-a svedoči o stalnom isticanju Liverpula kao jedne od vodećih evropskih destinacija kada su sajmovi u pitanju; centar u kom se sklapaju poslovi. Sajam je među prvim događajima od velikog značaja koji se održava u ovako ikoničkom okruženju.”

Sastanci „licem u lice“ imaju m­noge prednosti u poređaju sa svetom virtu­ elne tehnologije. Venue Expo nudi po­slovne aktivnosti koje se održava­ ju tokom dana sa ciljem da proširi po­slovanje i dostupnost izlagača svim posetiocima. To se odvija na različite načine, putem sastanaka, okruglih sto­ lova, debata i seminara, istovremeno dajući priliku za sklapanje konekcija sa medijskim partnerima, sponzorima i organizacijama. Moglo bi se reći i da je prednost Venue Expo, sajma na kom ljudi komuniciraju uživo, to što je dominantan u odnosu na ostale u smislu savremene komunikacije i marketinga u kongresnoj industriji. Šta više, ponosimo se i omogućavanjem edukativne platforme za naše posetioce.

Tokom dva dana sajma, posetioci mogu da prisustvuju vrhunskim CPD akreditovanim seminarima, iskoriste prednosti direktnog umrežavanja sa potencijalnim poslovnim partnerima, kao i vrhunsko edukativno iskustvo.

Seminar obiluje raznolikim temama, kao što su tehnologije u organizaciji događaja, produkcije uživo, liderstvo, itd.

Pružamo velike mogućnosti za umreža­ vanje i ohrabrujemo poslovne ljude da iskoriste naše tri glavne prostorije za umrežavanje.

Na radionicama i seminarima možete očekivati da: - Saznate više o marketinškim te­hnikama i inovacijama koje menjaju svet doga­ đaja i sajmova - Naučite kako da povećate nivo angažo­ vanja učesnika upotrebom aplikacija - Diskutujete o efikasnosti klasičnih apli­ kacija za organizovanje događaja, zido­ va društvenih mreža, itd - Stvarate konekcije i upoznajete istomi­ šljenike iz industrije - Steknete iskustvo bivanja u centru pos­ lovanja u multikulturalnom gradu.

Godinu za godinom, predivan i po­ svećen tim koji je uvek na dohvat ru­ke, pruža podršku osoblju, izlagačima i posetiocima.

Prosto, postoji toliko ni­jansi u koje se instinktivno uključimo kada nekoga upoznamo ili vidimo na platformi, a to se ne može preneti nijednim sredstvom komunikacije.

Mi, Venue Expo, verujemo da se mno­ go, možda čak i većina učenja odi­grava u hodnicima van soba za seminare, ili to­kom druženja. Nema boljeg načina za sklapanje poslova od ličnog susreta sa ljudima sa kojima poslujemo.

Venue Expo nudi poslovne ak­ tivnosti koje se održavaju to­ kom dana sa ciljem da proširi poslovanje i dostupnost izlaga­ ča svim posetiocima.

Venue Expo 2016

Leading MICE Industry Exhibition Venue Expo exhibition will be held on the 8th and 9th of November 2016, at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool with the aim to create a thriving and vibrant environment attracting outstanding business opportunities for exhibitors, buyers and attendees.

n the heart of one of Europe’s leading destinations for large scale exhibitions, in the centre of Liverpool, the Venue Expo returns after its success in 2015.

platform for our visitors. Over the two days, visitors receive top quality CPD Ac­ credited Seminars, benefit from direct networking opportunities and utilise the ultimate learning experience.

The Venue Expo is a leading MI­CE industry exhibition which is a free-toattend event with the aim to create a thriving and vibrant environment attracting outstanding business opportunities for exhibitors, buyers and attendees.

The expo hosted 200 exhibitors many of which we­re from outside the North West, making it a national event.

In pre­vious year, The Venue Expo 2015 attracted destinations, venues and event services.

The tailored seminar varies in topics such as event Technology, Live Productions, Leadership and more. We provide ample networking opportunities and encourage businesses to make use of our three main networking areas.

The Lord Mayor of Liverpool af­ter attending Venue Expo said: “The success of The Venue Expo is testament to Liverpool’s continuing success as one of Europe’s leading destinations for exhibitions; the hub where business is done. The show is one of the first high profile events to take place in such an iconic setting.”

Face-to-face meetings undoubt­e­dly have their advantages comparing to the virtual world of technology. Venue Expo offers businesses engaging activities held on the day with the aim to expand businesses and exhibitors’ reach to all attendees.

These are of various types, i.e. me­etings, round tables, debates and seminars as well as networking opportunities with media partners, sponsors and organisations. One mi­ght say that, the advantages of the Venue Expo, a face-to-face meeting, outweigh any other in the m­odern ways of communication and marke­ting within the MICE industry. Mo­reover, we pride ourselves on providing an educational

80

In workshops and guest speakers’ seminars visitors can expect to: - Listen to marketing techniques and in­ novations that are, and will, change the world of events and exhibitions - Learn how to increase engagement le­ vels using apps - Discuss the effectiveness of ‘classic’ event apps, social walls and others - Build networking links and meet wi­th likeminded people in the indus­try - Gain hands-on experience of being at the heart of the business in a multi-cultural city.

Year after year, we have continued to provide an amazing dedicated team who are always within reach to support staff, exhibitors and at­tendees.

There are simply so many nuances we tune into instinctively when we meet someone, or see them on the platform, that simply cannot be transmitted by any other means of communication.

We, Ve­nue Expo, believe that much, perhaps most, learning happens in the hallways outside the seminar rooms or during social functions. There is no better way of getting to do business than by meeting those you do business with in person.

Graeme Barnett, direktor sajma ibtm world

Vodeći međunarodni događaj u sferi kongresne industrije Ove godine ibtm world održava se od 29. novembra do 1. decembra, u kon­gre­s­ nom centru Fira Gran Via u Barseloni. Za ovo izdanje SEEbtm magazina ra­z­go­va­rali smo sa Graeme Barnett-om o gostujućim kupcima i novim trendovima u in­du­s­ triji kongresnog turizma.

1. Koliko izlagača i kupaca očekujete da posete ibtm world ove godine? ibtm world je vodeći svetski godišnji događaj u kongresnoj industriji, a svakako prednjači u ibtm portfoliju događaja.

Hiljade proizvoda i usluga koje podr­ žavaju ovu granu se svake go­di­ne mogu pronaći u Barseloni.

Prosečno imamo 3.000 izlagača ko­ji predstavljaju međunarodne tu­ris­ ti­čke agencije, hotele, desti­nacije, CVB, prostore, usluge, tehnološke ko­m­panije, PCO i brendove koji čine deo industrije.

Sa gostujućim kupcima i posetiocima sajma, ibtm world predstavlja zajednicu koja broji oko 15.500 profesionalaca koji posluju, skla­pa­ ju kontakte i posećuju edukati­vne programe.

Da bi bili primljeni u ibtm world „Ho­sted Buyer“ program (program go­stujućih kupaca), učesnici moraju da pokažu da imaju odgovornost ko­ja je neophodna za međunarodno poslovanje. U profil kupaca spadaju i udruženja, firme, PCO, agencije, i svi oni imaju veliki broj poslovnih uloga, a svoje kvalifikacije dokazuju nizom kriterijuma, između ostalog

svojim godišnjim budžetima, kupovnom moći i budućim poslovnim ciljevima. ibtm world radi sa odabranim ko­or­ dinatorima grupa koji se obavezuju da na događaj dovedu 10 ili više kupaca višeg nivoa.

Preko 20% programa zasniva se na pojedincima koji radije odlučuju da prave sopstveni raspored na sajmu.

na­zivamo ibtm world Innovation Zone, kako bismo podržali ovaj s­ektor i potrebu industrije da drži korak sa inovacijama. Tu učesnici mogu da dožive, interaguju i uče o najnovijim tehnološkim dostignućima i revolucionarnim rešenjima.

Svake godine, nezavisne sudije sa­činjavaju spisak od deset učesni­ ka koji se kvalifikuju za nagradu Te­chnology and Innovation Watch Award, i njima se onda pruža prilika da posetiocima uživo demonstriraju svoje „pobedničke“ proizvode.

Sa 4.000 slobodnih mesta, međuna­ rodni tim koji stoji iza Hosted Buyer programa traži učenike koji su pogodni za kvalifikovanje širom sveta.

Oni koji žele da se prijave na ibtm world 2016 ili koji žele da saznaju više o programu, mogu poslati e-mail na ibtmworld.hosted@ reedexpo.co.uk 3. Ako biste mogli da izaberete je­dan trend koji trenutno ima najveći uti­caj (prema sopstvenom mišlje­nju) u in­du­striji kongresnog turizma, koji bi to bio?

Verovatno najdominantniji trend sada jesu kontinuirano unapređe­ nje i inovacije koje tehnologija uvodi u industriju.

Tehnologija je glavni pokretač pro­ mena u industriji, njen uticaj je veo­ ma veliki, i prosto zahteva od orga­ nizatora događaja i pro­ducenata da više razmišljaju o načinima na koje će najbolje angažovati pu­bliku.

Organizatori događaja sve više ak­cenat stavljaju na uvrštavanje poslednjih tehnoloških izuma u svoje sku­po­ve i događaje.

preko 44% izvršnih direktora u tehnološkim kompanijama smatraju da je bezbednost informacija najrizičniji deo njihovih organizacija.

U Dejvidsonovom istraživanju zaključuje se da su usvajanje inovacija i uvođenje najnovijih tehnologija glavni strateški prioriteti i da predstavljaju ključnu strategiju za napredak. Na primer, više od 50% izvršnih direktora u tehnološkim kompanija­ ma ulaže značajan kapital u razvoj novih proizvoda, a isti postotak ula­že u tzv. machine-to-machine te­hnologije, industrijski intranet i ostale tehnološke aspekte.

4. Još jedno kratko pitanje za kraj, zašto je EIBTM promenio ime u ibtm?

Promena se odigrala pre 2 godine, kao deo sveukupnog rebrendinga za globalni portfolio događaja.

Shvatili smo da je ključno da svaki događaj ima jasno mesto na tržištu, na lokalnom, regionalnom i internacionalnom nivou, i na taj način smo se postarali da naš glavni događaj u Barseloni bude pozicioniran i brendiran kao svetski događaj – otud i naziv ibtm world.

Graeme Barnett, Senior Exhibition Director, ibtm world

What to Expect on Leading International Event for Meetings and Events Industry?

This year ibtm world will be held from 29th November to 1st December, at conven­ tion center Fira Gran Via in Barcelona. For this number of SEEbtm magazine we tal­ ked with Mr. Graeme Barnett, Senior Exhibition Director, who gave us some in­sights of the ibtm world, as well as his opinion about new trends in MICE industry.

1. How many exhibitors and buyers do you expect this year at ibtm world? ibtm world is the leading international annual event for the meetings and events industry and is also the flagship of the ibtm events portfolio.

Thousands of products and services that support the sector come toge­ ther in Barcelona each year.

On average there are 3,000 exhibi­to­ rs representing international DMC’s, hotels, destinations, CVB’s, venues, event services, technology compa­ nies, PCO’s and brands that are in­tegral to the industry.

To be accepted onto the ibtm wo­ rld Hosted Buyer programme all ap­plicants are required to demonstrate that they have responsibility for placing international business.

The profile of the buyers include association, corporates, PCO’s and agencies and have a number of job roles but they all have to qualify their eligibility based around a set

With Hosted Buyers and trade visitors, ibtm world creates a community of some 15,500 industry professionals doing business, networking and joining the education sessions.

2. Can you tell us something about the profile of the buyers? Are buyers mainly corporate or Associations, the average size group and similar?

of criteria including their annual bu­dgets, purchasing authority and future business objectives. ibtm world does work with selected Group Co-ordinators who commit to recruit 10 or more senior level buyers to attend with them at the event. Equally over 20% of the pro­gramme is based on individuals who prefer to create their own

To support this sector and the ne­ed for the industry to keep up to date with it all, we have focused on showing technology “live” in an area we call ibtm world Innovation Zone. It is here where attendees can experience, interact with, and learn about the latest technology innovations and revolutionary so­lutions. Each year our independent panel of judges shortlist ten applicants for the Technology and Innovation Watch Award who are then given the opportunity to conduct live demonstrations of their “winning” products to attendees. ti­metable at the show. With some 4,000 places available the international team behind the creation of the Hosted Buyer programme looks to qualify attendees from all over the world. Those wanting to apply to attend ibtm world 2016 or find out more about the programme can email ibtmworld.hosted@reedexpo. co.uk 3. If you could single out one current trend with the deepest influence (by your opinion) in the meetings industry, what would it be?

Probably the one that seems to do­­minate the most right now is the continuing advancements and in­novation that technology brings to this sector.

Technology has been the nu­mber one driver of change for this in­ du­stry with so many influencing fa­ctors that require event planners and producers to think more about how best to engage audiences.

Meetings planners all across the globe are placing more and more emphasis on incorporating the la­test technological inventions into their meetings and events.

logy continues to advance, cyber security is becoming an increasingly important issue among MICE professionals; over 44% of technology company CEOs regard information security (cyber) risk as the biggest risk to their organization.

Davidson’s research also concluded that fostering innovation and implementing disruptive technologies are the top strategic priorities and seen as a key strategy for growth.

For example, over 50% of techno­ logy CEOs are devoting significant capital to new product develop­ ment and the same percentage are in­ve­sting in machine-to-machine technologies, industrial intranets and other aspects of technology.

Applications for the ibtm world In­ novation Zone will go live this summer and we can’t wait to see who the next 10 rising event technology stars will be at this year’s show!

Q & A

4. And one short question for the end, why did EIBTM changed its name to ibtm?

The change took place 2 years ago and was part of an overall re-brand for the global portfolio of events.

It became crucial that each event had a clear position in the market, locally, regionally and international­ ly, ensuring that our flagship event in Barcelona was positioned and bra­nded as the “world event” – hence ibtm world.

Slanje poruka i stavova na javnim mestima

Ulična umetnost vredna pažnje Na mnogim zgradama i zidovima mogu se videti slike, grafiti i murali koji nam pri­ vuku pažnju i nateraju da zastanemo, osmotrimo i razmislimo o poruci koju oni no­se ili prosto da se divimo vizuelnom prikazu i tehnici koja je korišćena i da se pi­tamo - KAKO su ovo uspeli? Ulična umetnost ili street art predstavlja iz­ražavanje mišljenja omladine, ali ujedno i pokušaj ulepšavanja starih i oronulih zgrada i za­pu­ štenih delova gradova.

Ulična umetnost je zapravo vizu­ elna umetnost koja nastaje na javnim me­stima, a motivisana je željom umetnika da komunicira sa pu­­bli­kom van formalnih mesta umetnosti, kao što su galerije.

Nastanak ove umetnosti, i njeno prihvatanje nije bilo jednostavno, a ni lako.

U početku ova vrsta umetnosti nije bila prihvaćena od strane stanovni­ štva, već je smatrana činom vanda-

lizma. Radovi umetnika su često bili prefarbani drugim bojama, ili su pak preko njih radili drugi umetnici.

Pokretači ulične umetnosti su?

Socijalno ili političko stanje, kritikovanje ili pak ismevanje društva, ili jednostavno izražavanje stava su samo neke od tema koje inspirišu predstavnike ove umetnosti.

Mesta koja krasi ova umetnost su mahom stare zgrade, napušteni ili pak zapušteni ulazi, betonski stu­ bovi, asfalt.

Kako i kada je sve počelo?

Grafiti koji su iscrtavani na vagonima vozova i na zidovima predstavljaju najraniji oblik ulične umetnosti, a prvenstveno su se pojavli u Americi, tačnije u Njujorku tokom 1920-ih i 1930-ih godina i bili su dela bandi.

zanimljivost nula 1970-ih kada su mladi reagujući na društveno-političko okruženje počeli sa kreiranjem pokreta.

Nemačka, tačnije Minhen je postao domovina grafita 1985. godine kada je minhenski „sprejeri“ voz S4, takozvani geltendorsfki voz, pretvoren u prvi sasvim išarani voz u zemlji.

Takođe i Berlinski zid je bio odabran kao mesto za uličnu umetnost.

London je jedan od najpoznatijih gradova u Evropi u kojem se čak organizuju i pešačke ture u kojima se turistima pokazuju dela ulične umetnosti.

Ulična umetnost dovela je i do stva­ ranja murala, koji imaju razne motive ali koji svakog prolaznika nateraju da se zaustavi i da im se divi.

Pored grafita i murala, ulična umetnost takođe podrazumeva stencile, printove, slike velikih formata i ume­tničke saradničke projekte, a zatim ulične instalacije i performativnu i video umetnost.

Najpoznatiji umetnici Danas postoji veliki broj umetnika koji se bave ovom umetnošću, ali i dalje veliki broj njih ostaje u ilegali.

Jedan od najpoznatijih je Banksy koji već godinama uspešno sakriva

svoj identitet. Njegovi radovi se mahom zasnijvaju na političkoj i društ­ venoj situaciji. Zahvaljujući svojim radovima (grafiti, murali) i načinu izražavanja svog stava, ovaj umetnik je prepoznatljiv u celom svetu.

Vhils je ulični umetnik iz Portugala, koji radi kolaže i portrete.

BLU je ulični umetnik iz Bolonje koji mahom iscrtava murale po celom svetu.

Pored njih jako važno mesto zauzeo je i Moose, koji umesto sprejeva i emulzija koristi sredstva za či­šćenje iz hotela ili auto perionica, i na zaprljanim fasadama iscrtava razne grafite. On je predstavnik niše

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | maj 2016

takozvanih obrnutih grafita gde slike i slova nastaju čišćenjem prljavih površina. Neki umetnici koriste takođe ovu tehniku kako bi poslali ekološku poruku.

Pored ovih postoje i m­nogobrojni drugi umetnici koji su svakako os­tavili svoj trag a među njima su francuski umetnik Christian Guémy, poznatiji pod nadimkom C215 koji putuje svetom i na svojim radovima predstavlja stanovnike grada u kom se nalazi, zatim Spy, Laguna, itd.

S obzirom da je za ove umetnike opšte poznato da putuju po svetu njihove radove možemo videti u

različitim gradovima, državama, pa čak i na različitim kontinentima.

Primena street art-a na događajima Iako je na početku smatrana ilegal­ nom vrstom umetnosti danas je je­dna od najpopularnijih formi, pa se tako radovi pojedinih umetnika mogu pronaći i u galerijama, ali i koristiti na raznim događajima.

Kompanije kao što su Puma, Red bull i Coca Cola koriste ovu umetnost kako bi dodatno popularizovali svoj brend među mladima, a jedan od načina bio je i da iznajme namenski prostor za rad umetnika.

Ima slučajeva i određenih kompanija koje su na neki način ipak zloupotrebljavale ovaj pristup, oslikavajući grafite svog brenda na javnim površinama.

Generalno, street art i dizajn grafita je u marketinškom smislu našao svoje mesto kod kompanija koje svoje brendove žele da pozicioniraju kao sastavni deo moderne „ulične” kulture.

Ipak, praksa govori, da korišćenje ovih tehnika može imati uspeha i na korporativnim događajima i pro­mocijama proizvoda, kao što je bio slučaj sa jednom farmaceutskom kompanijom, koja je konkretno ko­ri­ stila 3D uličnu umetnost, i to u zat­ vorenom prostoru - konferencijskoj dvorani i na taj način animira učes­ nike i pošalje adekvatnu poruku.

Festivali i konferencije · Sarasota Chalk Festival osnovan 2007. godine · Living Walls konferencija pokrenuta 2009. godine · The RVA Street Art Festival osnovan 2012. godine Pored toga što ulična umetnost predstavlja iznošenje stava, organizatori događaja svakako mogu da je razmatraju i kao jedinstvenu ideju za neobične korporativne događaje, ili pak kao osnovu za neku tim bilding radionicu.

Svaki umetnik ima svoj stil i način rada, svoje stavove i cilj, ali ono što im je svima zajedničko jeste da njihovi radovi privlače pažnju i ostavljaju jak utisak.

Messages and Opinions in Public Places

Street Art – A Worthwhile Art Form Many buildings or walls are covered in eye catching images, graffiti, and murals that make us stop, look, and reflect on the messages they’re conveying or simply appreciate their visual representation or the technique used or make us ask our­ selves - HOW did they do this? Street art is an expression of young people’s opi­ nions and also an attempt at making old and ruined buildings beautiful.

Street art is actually a visual art form that is created in public pla­ ces, motivated by the artist’s desire to communicate with the audience outside of formal artistic spaces like galleries. The origins of this art form and its acceptance were

neither simple nor easy. At first this art form was not accepted by the public, but instead it was seen as an act of vandalism.

Artists’ pieces were frequently getting painted over or covered with new work by other artists.

Who are the street art pioneers?

Social or political issues, criticizing or even making fun of society, or just simply expressing attitudes are just some of the things that inspire street artists. Places where this art form can be admired are mostly old buildings, empty or unkempt premises, concrete columns, sidewalks.

How and when did it all begin?

Graffiti, which first started appearing on trains and buildings, represent the earliest form of street art, and they originally emerged in the USA – or New York, to be precise – during the 1920s and 1930s, and their authors were gang members.

Street art saw its true boom in 1970s when young people started to create movements, reacting to their social and political environment.

90

SEE Business Travel & Meetings magazine | May 2016

Germany – or Munich, to be mo­re precise – became graffiti’s ho­me­ land in 1985, when the city’s spra­y­ ers turned the S4 train, the so cal­led Geltendorfer train, into the fi­rst wholetrain in the country.

The Berlin Wall was also chosen to ser­ve as canvas for street art.

London is one of the most famous cities in Europe where tourists get shown street art works in dedicated walking tours.

Street art gave birth to murals, whi­ch contain different motifs but make anyone who’s walking by stop and admire them.

In addittion to graffiti and murals, street art also includes stencils, prints, large-scale paintings and projects of artistic collaboration, than street installations and performative and video art.

The most famous artists Street artists today are many, but a number of them still prefer to stay anonymous. One of the most famo­ us ones is Banksy, who has succes­ sfully been keeping his iden­tity secret for years. His pieces ma­inly focus on political and social events.

Thanks to his work (graffiti, murals…) and style of expressing his

attitude, the artist is recognized all around the world.

Vhils is a street artist from Portugal who makes collages and portraits.

BLU is a street artist from Bologna who draws mostly murals all over the globe.

Another important figure is Moose, who uses cleaning supplies from hotels or car wash shops instead of sprays or emulsions and paints different looking graffiti on dirty exteriors. He represents the niche of the so-called reverse graffiti, where images and letters are made by cleaning dirty surfaces. Some artists also use this method to send

messages about the environment.

In addition to these, there are many other artists who have certainly left their mark, and among them are French artist Christian Guémy, or C215, who travels the world and shows the people of the cities he visits in his work, then Spy, Laguna, etc. Since these artists are generally known for travelling the world, their work can be seen in different cities, countries, and even continents.

art, and some artists’ pieces can be both found in galleries and used in different events.

Companies such as Puma, Red bull and Coca Cola use this art form to make their brands more popular among young people, and one of the ways was to rent a space arti­sts can work on. There have been ca­ses of companies misusing this approach in one way or another, with graffiti depicting their brands

hall, to motivate the participants to interact more, as well as to send the desired message.

Street art represents making a sta­tement, so event planners can look at it as a surpassing idea for orga­nizing extraordinary events, or make it a starting point for some team building workshops.

Every artist has their own style and method, opinions or goals, but the thing they all have in common is that their work draws people’s attention and leaves strong impressions.
