My top 10 destinations for exceptional events by Connie Vick

Working in events, you quickly realise how the right support from a destination can really make. The destinations below are ones I’ve found especially great to work with, as they bring so much passion into showcasing what makes their location unique.

For me, it’s those partnerships that really matter – being able to properly understand what makes a destination different and what’s exciting about it. When you know you can rely on the team behind it, it gives you so much more confidence when pulling everything together.

Below I have put together my top 10 destinations who personally I think deliver exceptionally in their meetings, events of all shapes and sizes and also incentive trips!
