MGI Europe Area Meeting 2018
Date: 7 - 9 June 2018
Location: Chateauxform Les Prés d'Écoublay
Fontaney Trésigni, France
European Coordinators welcomes fellow MGI Worldwide and Mint Alliance members at MGI European Area Meeting taking place at the venue of Chateauxform in France near Paris.
We held the first "Chateauxform" type of European Meeting in 2015. It was a unique event. The format we used - Open Space - allowed members to join a series of free discussions about topics of their choice. This format of the meeting was a great success that time.
This year we plan to recreate the same event. We will offer a mixture of knowledge sharing and open discussions in the same relaxed French atmosphere provided by the unique French seminar company Chateauxform.
A bit of a introduction for those who are new to Chateauxform.
Chateauxform created places that are entirely dedicated to business meetings and seminars where work and relaxation blend and where you can take the time to reflect.
Chateauxform venues are not hotels, but houses in the country, away from the noise of the city. They have the advantage of being surrounded by nature, yet also easy to access!
They are not restaurants, but spaces for communication and discussion.
They are not multi-purpose rooms, but places for work and reflection.
The most crucial part in Chateauform houses is that you are not received by hotel staff but welcomed by a host couple into their home.
Agenda
We built an agenda primarily to allow members to discuss topics of their choices. In addition we will focus on how to improve on customer experience and we will take a close look into the mindset of startup and what is in it for your firms.
