Meeting Architecture in Russia
About the project
The Meeting Design Institute and Matey Events have partnered to deliver the great and innovative concept to Russian event and meeting professionals. An award-winning author, Maarten Vanneste, the MDI President, in 2007 wrote the ground‐breaking book ‘Meeting Architecture, a manifesto’. This became an industry bestseller that led to an international movement and educational projects. Now, this book is going to be available to a larger group of event professionals in Russia.
We invite you to become our partner in this endeavor and be the one that helps get the events sector in Russia on a new level. Besides, being our partner on this project will mean plenty of additional great benefits for your company: email us to get more info.
