Half of Europe has developed the Night Vision conference format for cities who want to get their nightlife organised and boost dialogue between businesses, residents, performers and government.
This format has been designed to include all stakeholders right at the start of the process and attract the attention and involvement of the public and the media. The Night Vision conference will be your city’s first step to better night economy development, a more inclusive nightlife scene and a more attractive city for tourists, investors and talent.
Friday
Friday is for a small selection of industry people and government representatives.
The aim is to discuss technical issues specific to businesses and the city’s regulatory framework.
This process helps the team understand the city’s problems and priorities so that the next day’s presentations can be as relevant as possible. This also might be the first time in your city that all the relevant stakeholders met to discuss their vision for nightlife in your city.
