The old destination workshop mould was broken when more than 30 Meetings & Incentive Travel readers from the agency and corporate sectors took part in the M&IT/Norway Crisis Management Interactive Challenge Event at London's King's Place. There they competed in teams to win trips to six destinations by devising crisis management solutions for Norway-based conference and event programmes after a morning learning from an expert on the subject, Paul Charles.

Sandra Fontaine of Sanofi Pasteur MSD said: “This has been the best networking supplier event I have ever been on.”

Emma Stoker of Euro RSCG Skybridge agreed: “A great day. Very different and creative way for a destination to engage with the event industry as well as providing an educational benefit.”
