Event Point’s International MICE Correspondent Ramy Salameh collaborated with InternationalRail.com, who provided him an Interrail ‘Global Pass’ ticket to explore Switzerland, Austria and Slovakia helping him to discover some of Europe’s hidden MICE gems. During his travels, he had the chance to visually showcase some amazing, quirky and inspiring venues/ incentives. Through our ‘Gallery section’ take a tour of the places and activities that you may not have been aware of, but with the help of ‘Event Point International’ may well plant the seeds of an idea that may take root for your next event. 

Lausanne and Montreux are two of Switzerland’s most captivating cities which intertwine culture and lifestyle, with dramatic nature and scenery. Sharing cinematic-like vistas of the snow-peaked Alps and clear waters of Lake Geneva, they also now share a common goal in attracting MICE events to their region; The Lausanne Montreux Congress formed an alliance in the last two-years and it is paying dividends for the destinations and its partners - see lausanne-montreux-congress.ch.
