Welcome!
Dear Colleague,
We take great pleasure in inviting you to the European Cities Marketing Autumn Meeting which will take place in Amsterdam from 25th to 28th November 2009.
Amsterdam is a city with many faces, and is sure to surprise and amaze you. From the historic heart of the city to the high-tech buildings of ‘...het IJ’ on the city’s river banks, Amsterdam is a lively place and we would like to invite you to come and enjoy its many attractions. This time Amsterdam will be the crossing point where you can meet your colleagues and the whole meeting will allow you to bring home ideas from all the various presentations, workshops and, of course, the
seminar.
The focus of the ECM Autumn Meeting will be “The holistic marketing concept: how cities are changing into regions”. How can we make city governors aware of the fact that they depend on tourism and/or conventions as one of their biggest economic pillars and a generator of employment? Competition between stand-alone cities is becoming competition between the regions that surround these cities. This trend has become an influential factor in the selection processes of decision-makers and it will change our approach to marketing in the near future. How can a city ensure that it remains a successful tourist and convention destination? At the meeting you will discover the success and failure factors of regional co-operation and a holistic marketing concept and learn what factors are most important in establishing co-operation with public and private partners in and around a city.
Speakers such as Prof. Pieter Tordoir, Professor of Economic Geography at the University of Amsterdam and former Director of Amsterdam’s Chamber of Commercehave been invited to this seminar to share their expertise.
Inspiring breakout sessions on topics such as: ‘Regional cooperation models’, ‘Measurement and selling of economic and employment values’ and ‘Financing models and the use of external funding’, will allow you to play an active part in the conference. On Saturday you can experience a tailor-made programme with technical visits, a new concept of exchanging knowledge between colleagues.
The whole team at Amsterdam Tourism & Convention Board are working hard to make this meeting an exciting and memorable event.
Looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!

Salzburg never ceases to enchant visitors with its charming streets, a historic city center declared a World Heritage Site and a many-faceted cultural offer. The baroque city with its landmark, Hohensalzburg Fortress, is a true gem offering a wide range of highlights throughout the year.
The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mo...zart is Salzburg's most famous son. His birthplace in Getreidegasse and the Residence on Makart Square are two of the city's most popular attractions. Mozart's work is one of the fixtures of any vacation in Salzburg, be it to Mozart Week in January, the Salzburg Festival in the summer or one of the countless evening concerts.
The Salzburg Festival is one of the world's most sophisticated music festivals, characterized by a superior quality in music and international performing artists. First class music and culture: each year at Easter, Whitsuntide and during the summer months.
Salzburg's historic city center became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The historical buildings, bearing witness to the long rule of the prince archbishops, the romantic corners and narrow lanes can be explored on foot.
Salzburg Congress is one of Europe's top venues for congresses, meetings and events. Its central location next to the Mirabell Gardens, the flexible room layout, the modern equipment and a professional team invite you to step onto the stage of success.
A large number of music events and local customs such as Advent Singing, Krampus runs and the Winterfest dominate the pre-Christmas season in Salzburg. Romantic Christmas markets such as the Christmas market on Cathedral Square or at Hellbrunn Palace add to the enchanting atmosphere.

Helsinki is surrounded by hundreds of little islands making up the archipelago which provides a special environment for example for sightseeing boat tours.
With a history of more than 450 years, several unique architectural styles and eras are visible in Helsinki. The special Scandinavian design has made the city world famous. Nature's beauty has been seamlessly combined with high technology innovations, and old traditions blend with new Millennium. Lush green parks start right downtown with nearby forests offering peace and solitude for nature excursions.
The Helsinki pulse is relaxed - but also tense when it comes Helsinki's culinary life and night activities.
Everything is within easy reach. Helsinki is a metropolis with human dimensions.
