The biggest thing in MICE this year will be…

Use of technology and incorporation of special experiences into meetings (social responsibility, etc.)

I try to relax by…

I don’t understand why…

Some people live in a negative mindset, limiting themselves by their negative believe systems.

My favourite venue is…

Aplace that inspires, has a clear concept and a soul (Nobelhart & Schmutzig Restaurant in Berlin).

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

South America.

I am scared to death of…

Nothing.

I can’t live without…

Dreams.

I really wish I had…

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be…

Follow your passions, if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
