C C A R L T O N NNES The ultimate EUROpean business travellers C NNES The world has never been more connected. Social media and mobile apps have connected businesses with partners and communities on the other side of the world. With more and more business leaders reaching out to their industry peers across these channels, there has never been such a demand for networking opportunities, with more and more corporate events and business conferences popping up in every major city of the world. As a result, you may well find yourself unfamiliar in your new surroundings, in a foreign city, at such a conference or perhaps meeting up with a new client. That’s why we’ve started to compile our City Guides for Business Travellers. It’s full of hints and tips on where to go for a bite to eat, things to do and see, and unique attractions to visit if you get the chance after-hours.

And please get in touch if you have any particular cities you would like to see featured.
