DMC Slovenia at the Destinations Unlimited Workshop in Warsaw

DMC Slovenia at the Destinations Unlimited Global Workshop in Warsaw

From 10 to 12 July 2026, DMC Slovenia participated in the Destinations Unlimited DMC Global Workshop in Warsaw. The international event brought together UK event planners and destination management companies from Europe and beyond for focused business meetings, networking and destination experiences.

As an experienced destination management company in Slovenia, we used the opportunity to introduce Slovenia’s potential for incentive travel, corporate meetings, conferences, special events and tailor-made group programmes.

Connecting Slovenia with UK event planners

The Destinations Unlimited workshop featured a series of focused one-to-one appointments with UK event professionals. These meetings allowed us to present Slovenia as a compact, diverse and accessible destination for international MICE groups.

During our conversations, we highlighted some of Slovenia’s most attractive destinations and experiences, including:

Ljubljana for meetings, cultural programmes and urban events
Lake Bled and the Slovenian Alps for incentives and outdoor activities
The Slovenian coast for Mediterranean experiences and waterfront events
The Karst region for caves, castles, wine and gastronomy
Slovenia’s boutique wine regions for exclusive dinners and local encounters

Slovenia’s compact size allows event planners to combine several different landscapes and experiences within one programme. A group can hold a meeting in Ljubljana, visit Lake Bled, enjoy a private dinner in a wine region and reach the Mediterranean coast without spending long hours travelling.

Why choose Slovenia for incentive travel and corporate events?

Slovenia is an excellent choice for companies looking for a safe, sustainable and original European destination. It combines professional event infrastructure with authentic experiences, outstanding nature and short transfer times.

The destination is especially suitable for:

Incentive travel programmes
Corporate meetings and retreats
Conferences and congresses
Team-building activities
Product launches
Executive and VIP travel
Special-interest and leisure groups

At DMC Slovenia, we create tailor-made programmes based on the group’s objectives, interests, budget and preferred level of service. Our local team coordinates accommodation, transportation, venues, restaurants, activities, guides, entertainment and on-site event management.

Discovering Warsaw beyond the meeting room

The workshop programme also introduced participants to Warsaw as a dynamic destination for meetings and incentive travel.

The event began at the contemporary NYX Hotel Warsaw. A networking lunch at the hotel’s rooftop bar provided a relaxed setting for the first introductions before the opening workshop appointments.

After the business session, we joined a panoramic sightseeing tour and a guided walk through Warsaw’s Old Town. The evening continued with a welcome dinner, giving buyers and DMC partners more time to connect in an informal atmosphere.

The second day combined further business meetings with an interactive discovery of Warsaw. An “Eat Like a Local” lunch at the Norblin Factory was followed by the “Warsaw – City of Contrasts” game.

The experience demonstrated how history, gastronomy, storytelling and teamwork can be combined to create an engaging incentive activity.

A memorable evening among the vines

One of the workshop highlights was the farewell evening at Nuna Vineyard, located outside Warsaw.

The programme included a guided vineyard visit, wine tasting, a picnic-style dinner and live music. The relaxed setting encouraged further conversation between buyers and destination partners while showcasing how local gastronomy and an unexpected venue can transform a corporate evening into a memorable experience.

Before departing Warsaw, we also explored the royal gardens, the urban Praga district and the Polish Vodka Museum. These experiences revealed another side of the Polish capital and demonstrated the importance of including local culture and authentic storytelling in destination programmes.

Building new partnerships for Slovenia

International MICE workshops are about more than presenting hotels, venues and activities. They help destination management companies understand market trends, develop new ideas and build trusted relationships with event planners.

The Destinations Unlimited workshop gave us the opportunity to discuss potential programmes for Slovenia, strengthen existing partnerships and create new connections within the UK market.

We returned from Warsaw with promising conversations, valuable feedback and fresh inspiration for future incentive and corporate event programmes in Slovenia.

Thank you to our hosts and partners

We would like to thank Destinations Unlimited for bringing together such a strong international network of event professionals and DMC partners.

A special thank you also goes to Mazurkas DMC Poland for the warm welcome and excellent organisation, as well as to all the event partners, fellow DMCs and UK buyers who met with us during the workshop.

Warsaw provided an inspiring setting for several productive days of meetings, experiences and new opportunities. We look forward to continuing these conversations and welcoming more international groups to Slovenia.
