Output
I hosted two conferences for the European Travel Commission. One in Brussels, on conditions for LGTBQI to travel effortlessly in Europe. For this I interviewed, among others, a trans woman, for whom hotel receptions, customs and travel an sich often caused problems. For another ETC conference in Vienna, I engaged with destination marketing clubs, discussing the future of business travel after Corona. Together with the organisation, I devised interview topics, working formats and prepared panel discussions. During both congresses, I managed to involve the audience in a valuable way, also taking cultural differences into account.
