Ideas and Inspiration for Unique Incentive Opportunities in Estonia IDEAS & INSPIRATION FOR UNIQUE M.I.C.E OPPORTUNITIES IN ESTONIA WHY ESTONIA IS THE BEST DESTINATION FOR YOUR NEXT CONFERENCE? Possibility to discover a fascinating Nordic country, full of surprises, a new up and M.I.C.E destination. Medieval and modern blend where everything is in walking distance. Tallinn international airport lies just ten just minutes from the city centre, close to all major hotels, event venues, sights, restaurants and shopping areas, all within easy walking distance. No need to waste time waiting for transfers, figuring out public transportation or sitting in traffic. Unique conference settings that aren't available in most places – a Renaissance-style guild hall, a Medieval manor house, particular Song Festival Ground building or modern design cutting edge museum and world class hotel facilities. Incentive programs could also include everything from night-time treasure hunts through the national art museum to breaking out of a Soviet-era prison. Brand new highest standard hotel facilities, with very competitive prices. Estonia's major hotels are all either newly built or just renovated, with very reasonable rates for 4- and 5-star hotels. Free wireless Internet everywhere and for everyone is a human right. Delegates can stay connected wherever they are because Estonia, the birthplace of Skype, is one of the most wired-up – and wireless – places on the planet. Furthermore, the conference organizers can rest assured that top quality online registration systems are in place and that essentials like AV and interpretation equipment are state-of-the-art. Quick getaways-. A mix of untouched nature and high-tech conferences is definitely something difficult to find nowadays. In Estonia however, it is easy to add some extra value and make the working experience more memorable, simply by holding an incentive program in the middle of the forest, just a short drive from the city centre! Closer than you think and hassle-free borders. Most major European cities are less than two hours away by air. Estonia is an EU member and part of the Schengen visa zone; so most delegates won't have to bother with customs or passport checks when arriving and departing. English widely spoken. English-speaking visitors will have no trouble communicating in Estonia. As residents of one of the smallest EU nations, Estonians have embraced the international language and proficiency levels are quite high. TALLINN Tallinn is regaining its place as it used to be centuries ago: a wealthy multi-ethnical Hanseatic centre of commerce and culture. To understand better the spirit of this town it is important to remember that throughout its history Tallinn has always been at the crossroads between the Northern and Central Europe where also different cultures from east and west meet. Today Tallinn is a safe, clean and high-technological modern Nordic city that has also well preserved its medieval characteristics and keeps up with the multicultural cosmopolitanism. It offers glowing shops, super stylish interiors, chic hotels, cutting-edge restaurants, cafes, lounges and clubs competing with any famous metropolitan. To get to know Tallinn, one should see all of its faces. While showing its romantic fairy-tale-like side during the snowy wintertime, the summer with its famous white nights transforms Tallinn into an open-air lively cosmopolitan vibe centre with festivals, concerts and activities for every taste. Tallinn is conveniently connected to the Nordic capitals like Stockholm and Helsinki through regular daily marine connections and receives hundreds of cruise ships during the summer months. High life quality, latest technologies, wireless internet connection combined with large green areas and parks, sandy beaches and the charming UNESCO protected Medieval old town offer you a unforgettable stay in Tallinn. Tallinn Old Town, UNESCO World Heritage List site, one of the best- preserved medieval city centres in Northern Europe. Winding cobbled stone streets take you to merchant houses, gothic spires, medieval markets and half-hidden courtyards that offer visitors an authentic retrospective to the 13-16th century.

  • Financeestonia International Forum 2013
    FinanceEstonia International Forum 2013 June 6th to 7th in Tallinn, Estonia WIFI password in Swissotel conference center is: events Dear participant of the Forum I am glad to welcome you to the first FinanceEstonia International Fo- rum, which profiles Estonia as a location for financial services. We have guests from 17 countries and Estonia’s top experts from a range of business fields participating: asset management, bank- ing, IT, legal, advisory and business transformation to name but a few. Besides a strong presence of leading Nordic banks, today there are more than 30 cross-border financial and shared services pro- viders in Estonia. We believe that we have an excellent platform on which to generate much more business. As a location Estonia stands out internationally for it’s prudent fis- cal policy (AA- rating), strong economic growth (3.2% in 2012) and well capitalized banking sector (Tier I ratio of 23%). We are well known for our buzzing Startup scene and innovative e-solutions and infrastructure (#22 in the Global IT Report). And we are very proud of our skilful and hard-working people! We believe that amid financial crises and growing challenges to improve efficiency, Estonia is in an excellent position to develop into a strong location for financial services. This Forum will be full of insight and discussion on how to capi- talize on our platform in order to offer better business services to an even wider audience. I encourage your active participation and net- working to find opportunities to work together. I hope this Forum
