The Meetings Star Awards are presented annually by Slovenian Kongres Magazine which focuses on MICE in Central and South East Europe. When evaluating individual destinations the following criteria are taken into account: natural and cultural factors, general and transport infrastructure, tourist and meeting infrastructure and marketing buzz. The additional criterion that the editorial board of Kongres Magazine also took into account is the current ranking on the ICCA Country and City Ranking 2013 and Mercer’s global scale of quality of life in individual capitals.
The winners were awarded at the welcome reception at 2015 Conventa trade show in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on Wednesday 21 January, 2015.
