Hotel Svendborg – nominated for conference center of the year 2020

Conference Center of the Year 2020

Denmark's best conference center is...

There is a 50 percent chance that the Conference Center of the Year 2020 will be located on Funen. Three of the six hotels that thousands of conference guests have nominated for the prestigious title through their evaluations are located on Denmark's central island.

Six conference centers are in the running for the coveted title of Conference Center of the Year 2020. The award is presented by the Association of Danish Conference Centers, which is an industry association for more than 100 of Denmark's best meeting places, and is based solely on guests' assessments of the individual conference centers.

Evaluations provide better offers and service

Thousands of evaluations are conducted every year, which not only form the basis for the award of Conference Center of the Year. Both Danish Conference Centers and the individual hotels, conference centers and other venues that are part of the partner group use the evaluations to plan and implement improvements and strengthen their offerings and service to guests.

”"In just a few years, we have built up a very broad and strong circle of partners who see the value in collaborating with us – and each other – to make meetings and conferences even better. Despite the fact that they are also competitors, they choose to collaborate closely to create even better experiences and more value for customers. The evaluations help focus efforts both at the individual conference venues and for us as an association when we have to plan courses, networking meetings and other initiatives for the partners," says Marlene H. Sylvester-Hvid, director of Danish Conference Centres.

And the nominees are…

Danish Conference Centres is a booking portal and sparring partner for meeting planners in companies.

In addition to the strong collaboration between conference centers throughout Denmark, the majority of the partners at Danske Konferencecentre are part of IACC (The International Association of Conference Centres), a worldwide organization of meeting and conference centers.
