Door 10: "20 years of MICE industry get-togethers on the water - the encounters on board are among the most valuable."
Today, we look back on a special story that shows how valuable long-standing partnerships and genuine encounters are: the first MICE industry meeting on Lake Constance. Manfred Weixler, who was working at bsb at the time, had the idea—and we implemented it together.
It was an event that not only laid the foundation for many more events in the Lake Constance region, but also for a network that has grown over two decades.
I particularly remember Irmi Lindner attending this event for the first time. With her passion and commitment, she has been an important companion to me and ILLERHAUS Marketing for many years.
The events on board are more than just networking events - they are places where real connections are made. This is where people come together to develop ideas, have inspiring conversations and bring projects to life.
After 20 years of MICE industry get-togethers on the water, I am grateful for all the encounters that have turned partnerships into genuine friendships. It is this reliability and the shared view of the future that unites us all and is the essence of our network.
Here's to the next 20 years full of encounters, ideas, and collaboration—and to what brings us together!
Yours, Susanne Illerhaus
