Attending this year's Cartier Queen Cup Final at the GUARDS POLO CLUB in Surrey back in June was an incredible experience. It provided a fantastic opportunity for meaningful networking with meeting planners. Reto Konrad joined forces with our partners partners: Johanna Doublet from Michel Reybier Hospitality, Yana Maillard from Grand Hotel Suisse-Majestic Montreux Autograph Collection , and Céline Guido from Montreux-Vevey Tourisme & Convention Bureau. The excitement and elegance of the polo game reminded us of the thrilling polo events held in Switzerland, such as the Snow Polo World Cup, which has been taking place annually on the frozen lake of St. Moritz since 1985. #meetingswitzerland

Last month, Reto Konrad hopped on the Belmond British Pullman to meet 30 meeting planners from UK. The journey kicked off at Victoria Station and cruised through Kent county, making the perfect backdrop for networking, lunch, and some seriously good conversations. Big shoutout to Destination Alliance for putting together such an awesome event! Switzerland isn’t slacking in the historic train game either. Take the Red Arrow Churchill, for instance. Just like Sir Winston Churchill himself, you can ride in style and indulge in some top-notch food. This train isn’t just for show – it can host a banquet for up to 96 guests for your next conference.

Meeting Trophy - Day 2 🌄🎉 Seven intrepid teams zoomed off from #Davos, embarking on the Grand Tour of Switzerland to uncover the gems of #Lucerne and the Lake Lucerne area. After a drive over the picturesque Alps, they hopped on a train to climb the Queen of the Mountains – #Rigi. Fun and games on Rigi had everyone feeling like honorary Swiss: crossbow shooting, cheese rolling, Alphorn playing… the whole Swiss shebang! 🎯🧀🎶 But the day’s theme song? Music, music, and more music! Thanks to #SongDivision, teams composed their own anthems. In Vitznau, they discovered the hidden gem of an underground concert venue, Das Morgen. A breezy boat trip later, they found themselves in Lucerne, ready for a gala dinner by Lake #Sempach. The evening was a hit, filled with joy, laughter, and tunes that got everyone grooving. Drumroll, please... 🥁 And the winner of the Meeting Trophy 2024 is... Belgium! 🇧🇪 Myriam and her team were on fire! Consistency is key, and they nailed it! 🎉🏆 A massive shoutout to Alexander Hunger, Barbra Albrecht, Bruno Walker, all the team leaders, and partners who made this rally a sensational success: Lucerne Convention Bureau RIGI BAHNEN AG Hospitality Visions Lake Lucerne AG Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees (SGV) AG / Lake Lucerne Navigation Company Hotel & Conference Center Sempachersee Davos Congress / Davos Convention Bureau Europcar Travel Switzerland Swiss International Air Lines Photos: Mattias Nutt #MeetingTrophy #MeetingSwitzerland #TravelSwitzerland #SwissTravelPass #flyswiss #meetingplacedavos
