EUCG 2024 Spring Workshop

EUCG 2024 Spring Workshop

EUCG is heading to St. Petersburg, Florida, April 14th – 17th for our 2024 Spring Workshop! Join us and benefit from significant opportunities in networking and idea exchange with industry thought leaders from around the globe.

The workshop will take place at Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront in the heart of St. Petersburg Waterfront District, across from the Salvador Dali Museum and Al Lang Stadium. The downtown trolley passes by the hotel, and beautiful palm-lined courtyards frame the entrance, outdoor space and pool. Nicknamed “The Sunshine City,” St. Petersburg is known for its tropical weather, arts and culture, shopping, dining, sports, and outdoor recreation all along a stunning shoreline that features some of the nation’s top-ranked beaches. With weather that sees averages of 74°F and 361 days of sunshine per year we’re excited this vibrant city will be the backdrop for our 2024 Spring Workshop!

Registration

Registration for the 2024 Spring Workshop is available online. The workshop is in-person, but still offers a virtual component in order to include as many EUCG members as possible.

For the 2024 Spring Workshop, an initial registration fee of $1,400.00 will be paid on a per company/per committee basis. That fee includes an in-person attendee registration, and unlimited virtual attendees from your company to enjoy that specific EUCG committees' program. Once your company has paid the committee workshop registration fee, any individual at your company may register and participate at no additional fee in the committee sessions virtually. Additional in-person attendees will pay a fee of $1,000.00.

We are excited that we’re able to host these hybrid workshops, which continue to bring the best of both worlds and maximize participation.

The in-person registration includes breakfast, lunch, and breaks for the duration of the event, the Welcome Reception on Sunday, April 14th, and the Monday Evening Networking Event.
