    What to expect

    In 2024, micebook Ventures will explore two transformative themes: Jet Zero or Bust and Smart City Futures. These themes aim to change the landscape of business events, moving beyond traditional practices and towards a more sustainable and innovative future.

    Jet Zero focuses on the future of travel in the event industry, particularly reducing reliance on fossil-fuel aviation. Our partnership with Eurostar, which reduces CO2 emissions by 96% across Europe, exemplifies this commitment to low-emission solutions. We will delve into insights from experts, scientists, and airlines on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and explore how new mobility solutions can enhance delegate connections and event engagement.

    Smart City Futures examines which cities are leading the way in climate, social, and healthcare resilience. We’ll discuss the impact of urbanization and migration on economies and communities and how to choose the best destinations for meaningful business events. La Zone Grand Paris is setting high standards for sustainability, and we will analyze its progress in the Race to Zero and what other cities can learn from its example.
