In 2007 I was impressed by: (final part)

Grand opening: ABBA museum in Stockholm
By the end of 2007, Stockholm intrigued me during a presentation in Brussels. Ewa Wigenheim (see photo) announced that she would be opening the first ABBA museum in Stockholm together with her husband. On the 3rd of June 2009! 4000m² of ABBA pleasure will be shown for thousands of fans. But also for curious congress delegates!

From Zulus to Vikings
I caught - like a fever - the best incentive experiences of 2007, with the Zulus in South Africa (see blog) and with the Vikings in Iceland. On a fall day, Olöf Einarsdottir of Mountaineers of Iceland placed me on a snow mobile on the biggest glacier in Europe. I melted of pleasure in the ice! If you keep a list of all the things you would like to do in your life, add ‘A Multi Day Super Jeep Expedition’. Even if you’re wearing Italian fashion shoes, you can still experience an ice adventure like this! That’s how strong the glacier outfits are, that you get from the mountaineer guides. But, in this outfit you can’t go shopping in the shopping mall in Reykjavik!



Extra: in February 2008, number 25 of HeadQuarters magazine will be published. A celebration, a special edition... Meeting Trends. Keep an eye out for that issue if you want to know what lies ahead in 2008 and later!

I am Yasmin Saifullah from RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LTD- Indias largest private sector company.
We are putting up a state of art Convention and Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.I had attended the Pattaya Congress and attended the official dinner dressed in a golden sari!( Touch of gold.....)I enjoyed the conference very much as many of the topics were well selected and it was very well organised.I have more than 30 years experience in the Exhibition Industry.
I enjoy reading Marcels Meeting Memories because he puts across the stories interestingly and gives an overview of what is
going on in the industry.Continue the good work and wishing you all a Very Happy New Year!
