Ambassadors' programme
Ambassadors' programme
The ambassadors of the programme are a group of people who benefit from a package of activities, tools and services in order to bring the destination to the world. The Geneva Convention Bureau is honoured to have a large number of ambassadors who help to promote the destination internationally in the convention world.
The "Capital of Peace", as Geneva is known, offers infrastructure and solid expertise in several fields such as diplomacy, education, medicine and innovation. It is, in fact, the leading destination for numerous congresses and professional events.
