The Speakers’ Corner is the opportunity for the EUROPARC network to showcase their work, innovative approaches and new ways of thinking related to Management Effectiveness. Case study presentations lay the basis of an active discussion from all participants.

Goal of the session:

Highlight your work and inform and exchange with peers on concrete experiences and cases of Management Effectiveness in Parks.

How does it work?

Upon registering, you can indicate if you want to present in the Speakers’ Corner. When selected, you will get five minutes to present your work or case study. The remaining 15 minutes are there for an open discussion with other participants. Together, let’s find new solutions and opportunities to improve Park management!
