Vilnius Offers Conference Support Program

Julija Poskiene, Business Development Manager at Estravel, advises: Vilnius has developed a Conference Support Program, designed to assist individuals and organizations in organizing international business and scientific events. This program not only aids in the practical aspects of conference planning but also emphasizes sustainability, aligning perfectly with the city’s green initiative.

The goal of the Vilnius Conference Support Program is to make planning easier while promoting Vilnius as a prime destination for professional gatherings. Eligible events must:

• Take place in a paid venue within the city.
• Involve at least 50 participants, and have half of the attendees coming from abroad specifically for the event.
• The program covers expenses such as venue and equipment rental, catering, local transportation, promotional activities, cultural entertainment, and professional organizing services.
