The first ever Forum of the French Users’ Club will be staged in Paris next week

The first ever Forum of the French Users’ Club will be staged in Paris next week.

Created from within the International Association of Francophone Convention Cities, AIVFC, the new club forms a bridge between French-speaking convention bureaus and their regular clients. Unlike most professional meetings between customers and providers, the Users’ Forum has been initiated by the clients themselves who are inviting their counterparts, the event organisers and others, to exchange ideas with them and AIVFC managers.

AIVFC President Françoise Muel, of Metz-Congrès, said: “This event, which involves all stakeholders in our industry, will establish productive synergies amongst us, encouraging reflection on the evolution of our constantly growing business. One of the major strengths of our network is the constant banking on the benefit of experience. The Users’ Club highlights this advantage, resulting in this very first Forum”.

The Forum will be held at the Palais des Congres de Versailles, Paris, on Thursday 24th June, and will comprise interactive workshops led by recognised experts on professional themes selected by the Club. Topics will include legal responsibilities of organisers, event catering and sustainable development. Delegates will also be able to attend one of a variety of roundtable discussions and visit an exhibition of AIVFC destinations.
