Global Entrepreneurship Week in Minsk

Case study:

The main problem connected with organization of business events is to make sure speakers feel comfortable. It means paying attention to many small things, which is often impossible. MeetnGreetMe took care of our speakers and really helped us. We frequently turn to them because it’s always quick, easy and convenient. It definitely made a great difference at GEW. It’s always interesting to learn about a city or country from a local, ask plenty of questions which is often inappropriate at a conference or a business meeting.

We’d like to share a story with you about how we provided support at Global Entrepreneurship Week in Minsk, organized by Imaguru Start Up Hub every year. MeetnGreetMe is an active partner for Imaguru Startup Hub, so we are always ready to lend a hand with any matters when our help is needed.

BACKGROUND

Global Entrepreneurship Week is one of the busiest weeks in November for Belarusian businesses. Belarus joined Global Entrepreneurship Week in 2011 and became one of 137 countries participating in the largest entrepreneurial initiative around the world. More than 2000 participants, job creators and innovators from more than 20 countries attend this business event in Minsk, Belarus to launch startups, start international cooperations and plan new projects. Every year Imaguru Startup Hub welcomes foreign guests and international speakers.

SITUATION

We were commissioned to take care of all matters associated with business speakers visit to Minsk, Belarus and provided them with such services as

information support,
arranging transfer from and to the event,
booking restaurants,
interpreting and translation,
walking tour around Minsk,
and much more.

SOLUTION

Having a large network of verified local MeetnGreeters in Minsk, Belarus, it was easy for us to provide GEW with English-speaking professional guides, concierges and interpreters.

HOW IT PLAYED OUT

We waited for speakers to finish their work at seminars, workshops and conferences and then took care of their needs. Our MeetnGreeters provided interpreting services at business events and tour guide support afterwards. The speakers were taken around the city and treated to the best local food. We also introduced guests to the main representatives of Belarusian business community and provided information about education and business situation in Belarus. MeetnGreeters were always there whenever international speakers needed any help or just a good company.

RESULTS

International guests enjoyed their visit and knew that all issues were covered.

I was invited to GEW Belarus by Imaguru Start Up Hub. When I wasn’t participating in seminars, workshops and conferences I wanted to learn more about Belarus. I didn’t have much spare time, so I wanted to use it efficiently. Before my visit I read a lot about the country on Wikipedia and Belarusian websites, but, of course, I wanted to see everything with my own eyes. My MeetnGreeter was a great company in my free time. She treated me to local traditional food, draniki and syrniki were amazing. We walked around Minsk and I managed to see top tourist attractions. It was amazing to fill my free time like that.
