Expert guidance tailored to your needs

The Convention Bureau assists in preparing bids to bring major events to Florence, offering expert advice, promotional materials and institutional backing. A strategic boost to strengthen your proposal and increase its chances of success.

From the earliest stages, we help build effective and tailored bid books, essential documents to nominate Florence as the host city. Each proposal is customised to meet the organiser’s requirements and showcase Florence’s unique strengths for any specific event.

From collaboration with political and academic institutions to connections with professional associations, the Convention Bureau opens access to a strategic network of local partners. A key advantage for events aiming to leave a lasting legacy on the territory.

From Renaissance palaces to the city’s flexible congress centre, Florence offers a wide variety of venues suitable for events of all sizes. The Convention Bureau supports planners in selecting the most suitable spaces based on logistics and concept, saving valuable time and ensuring the best fit.

To support decision-making, the Convention Bureau organises tailored site inspections across potential venues. Organisers can explore locations, assess services and logistics, and receive strategic planning insights. A personalised experience to discover the full potential of Florence as a congress destination, and beyond.

The Convention Bureau’s network connects organisers with the best professionals in Florence’s events industry, ensuring efficient and reliable solutions for every aspect of the event: catering, technology, logistics, stewards and more. A valuable resource for streamlining planning and ensuring high-quality standards.

To attract high-value events, Florence offers a dedicated incentive plan for organisers and planners. Financial benefits help reduce event costs, and exclusive perks, including access to prestigious institutional venues free of charge, make the city an even more competitive choice.

Embedding CSR into your event means creating a positive impact on the local community. The Convention Bureau offers bespoke CSR activities: from partnerships with third-sector organisations to environmental sustainability initiatives, transforming each event into an opportunity for shared growth.

Thanks to its network of over 150 local partners and tourism professionals, the Convention Bureau offers a customised Social Program to enrich any event. Designed to engage participants, these experiences allow them to enjoy Florence and its surroundings beyond the conference agenda.

For events with over 300 participants, we activate the Destination Florence for Events platform, offering a wide selection of accommodation options through a dedicated booking system tailored to the event. This service simplifies logistics and ensures the best available rates, meeting every organisational need.
