At the prestigious Dor\u0107ol location, on the very site of the first Serbian chocolate factory, today stands Mona Plaza \u2013 a modern congress center that is increasingly taking a leading position on the regional MICE map. With more than 2,000 m\u00b2 of space, eight conference rooms with natural daylight, and a plenary hall with a capacity of up to 380 participants, Mona Plaza has become synonymous with professionally managed events that leave a lasting impression.
\n
One of the hotel\u2019s key advantages is its multifunctionality. The congress area is spread across three levels \u2013 from a spacious banquet hall on the ground floor, to conference rooms on the first and second floors, which, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, provide abundant natural light and a pleasant working environment. An additional benefit is more than 700 m\u00b2 of exhibition space, as well as a restaurant with a capacity of up to 230 guests, making it possible to combine both business and social segments of events within one venue.
\n
\u201cOur goal is to provide full support to organizers \u2013 from state-of-the-art technical equipment and high-speed internet connection, to a professional and dedicated team that takes care of every detail. Mona Plaza is not just a venue for events, but a true partner in their realization,\u201d explains Margareta Dimitrijevi\u0107, Director of Sales at Mona Plaza.
\n
In recent years, the hotel has hosted a wide variety of events \u2013 from international conferences and congresses, to workshops and training sessions, as well as gala dinners and cocktail receptions. Thanks to its central Belgrade location, guests not only enjoy a flawlessly organized event, but also experience the spirit of old Dor\u0107ol, where tradition and modern design meet.
\n
\u201cWe are seeing a growing demand for hybrid events that combine live attendance with online participation. That is why we are continuously investing in new technology and digital solutions. At the same time, we strive to ensure that every event is sustainable and environmentally responsible, which means seasonal menus, the use of local resources, and reducing waste,\u201d adds Dimitrijevi\u0107.
\n
What truly sets Mona Plaza apart is its atmosphere. The history of the location, industrial charm, and the story of chocolate create an ambiance that inspires. It is no surprise, therefore, that an increasing number of companies and organizations choose this hotel as their partner for unforgettable events.

Last year Mercedes-Benz Malaysia introduced its four new S-Class models by throwing a four-day event that, to put it mildly, got our full attention and more importantly, the full attention of the event attendees, allowing them to experience something extraordinary that utilized all of their senses.
\n
Since this class is the most luxurious one, the decision was made for everything to center around it. From the event\u2019s venue through the catering and the audio-visual effects to the attendees themselves. In short, the absolute focus was placed on creating the guest experience!
\n
\u201cDas Beste oder Nichts\u201dwhich literally means\u201cThe Best Or Nothing\u201dis the Mercedes motto.
\n
What was done to create the experience?
\n
\n
Most events intended to introduce new car models focus on functionality \u2014\u00a0the main idea is to showcase the car and then explain its technical features to the audience. Instead, it was decided to make this event as personalized as possible, involving the attendees and giving them a sense of exclusivity.\u00a0 Typical places for launching cars like dealerships, convention centers, trade shows, and hotels were avoided. The event was planned to take place in an event tent set up next to the KLCC Twin Towers, two 88-floor skyscrapers considered to be the roof of Malaysia, a magnificent structure built to resemble the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, and Burj Khalifa. Continuing down the organization road, they went a step further and relied on the research conducted by psychologist Silvia \u00c1lava that revealed that people recall 35% of what they smell, five percent of what they see, two percent of what they hear, and one percent of what they touch. And this was the very essence of the entire event \u2014\u00a0the main idea revolved around the five senses!
\n
\n
Sense of smell
\n
Smell has the power to transport, and different scents provoke different feelings. For this purpose, the hosts hired a perfumer tasked with creating fragrances that remind of entering a luxurious, lavish hotel. Every day they imported fresh flowers that they arranged on the tables where the guests were sitting.
\n
\n
Sense of sight
\n
They used the fact that lighting affects the mood. They used smart lighting that guided the guests away from the entrance to the main room. The spotlights were aimed at the cars and LED screens on the walls. The guests were surrounded by 270\u00b0 LED displays showing the city and aurora borealis. Chandeliers and candles gave away a sense of luxury and uniqueness. Large crystal chandeliers adorned the lobby, and 50 custom-made chandelier lamps decorated the tables, exuding elegance and luxury.
\n
\n
Sense of hearing
\n
A sound engineer was hired to oversee the acoustics of the orchestra made up of 24 musicians and make sure that the sound is perfect, despite the fact that the event took place in a tent. The orchestra conductor was Datuk Mokhzani Ismail, the music director of the National Orchestra and prestigious conductor of the Malaysian Philharmonic.
\n
Sense of touch
\n
Six classic Mercedes-Benz models were borrowed from collectors. The hosts hired specialists for transporting and caring for these types of vehicles, in addition to insurance. The memory lane hall where these cars were displayed allowed the guests to learn about the brand\u2019s history and legacy. The attendees could touch and \u201cfeel\u201d the cars, and the older guests who used to drive them remembered what it was like.
\n
\n
\n
Sence of taste
\n
The award-winning Michelin star chef Nathalie Arbefeuille created a culinary feast with four courses. Every day saw a different menu served, and every evening menu reflected the diversity of the four vehicles that were being showcased. The meals were prepared at a different location 12 km away and transported to an improvised kitchen in the tent so that it would look like they were prepared on the spot, just like on first-class flights.
\n
Interesting about Mercedes-Benz:
\n
\u00b7 The modern automobile was invented by Karl Benz, but his wife funded his work.
\n
\u00b7 Karl Benz got the first driving license ever!
\n
\u00b7 Mercedes-Benz vehicles are manufactured in 30 countries around the world.
\n
\u00b7 These were the first cars with brakes on all four wheels.
\n
\u00b7 The first car in the country of Nepal was a Mercedes-Benz, given to its king in 1940.
\n
A mobile stage was built with six hydraulic mechanisms that served as stages for the four new models and the orchestra. Professional drivers maneuvered the cars in the narrow space on the stage. Since the guests included members of royal families, heads of states, and business elite, strict security measures were coordinated with the traffic police and emergency services.
\n
The magnificent event most certainly gave results. The event\u2019s four days saw a total of 1,200 people, S-Class sales rising by 12.8% in the first three months after the event compared with pre-event sales, and the brand\u2019s Facebook and Instagram pages gained 2,543 new followers! It goes without saying that the attendees\u2019 expectations were exceeded because an event like this one can never be forgotten. Without a doubt, the experience was extraordinary!
\n
Golden fact\u00a0
\n
A billionaire from Abu Dhabi placed ordered a custom-made Mercedes- Benz with a gold decorated exterior. The whole exterior was covered with white gold worth $2.5 million.

Between May 2nd and 5th this year, agency Talas M has been honoured to host \u201cClub des Leaders\u201d from Geneva, whose members are powerful and influential people in the world of finance, industry and politics.
\n
During this visit, Princess Maria Gabriela of Savoy partly acted as a host to other group members, because of her Montenegrin ancestry. Throughout a private tour of King Nikola\u2019s residence in Cetinje, she was especially interested in family portraits. Most powerful and emotional was encounter with the one of her father, the last king of Italy. Her guide was eager to know is it a truth that Queen Elena was 20 cm taller than her husband. Princess \nproudly straightened her shoulders and answered with a broad smile \u201cDifference was even bigger, my father and myself were lucky to inherit Montenegrin genes\u201d.
\n
\n
After king\u2019s residence they are offered Montenegrin rose wine \u201cRegina\u201d in the beautiful \nsurroundings of another royal residence Biljarda. Just after leaving Cetinje, mountain road took us to the heart of National park Lovcen where our guests had a chance to taste traditional mountain menu and feel traditional Montenegrin hospitality in \u201cIvanov Konak\u201d restaurant. Next day was reserved for charms and beauties of the Boka Bay. Visit of the Old Town of Kotor with private concert of Orthodox choir \u201cJedinstvo\u201d in St Nikola\u2019s church.
\n
\n
Scenic catamaran drive was stopped for a visit to the jewel of the bay, island of Our Lady of the Rocks. Don Srecko, parish priest of Perast, has shared with our guests stories of the island, church and baroque town of Perast. And for group of 150 guests, including five ministers and 40 city mayors, our best reference is our partner\u2019s feedback: \u2033This group was a real success. Program that you offered created beautiful image of Montenegro\u2026 For gala dinner we had positive comments from all the guests. Many thanks for your great work on this project. It was a real pleasure to work with whole Talas-M team\u201d.

Princess\nproudly straightened her shoulders and answered with a broad smile \u201cDifference was even bigger, my father and myself were lucky to inherit Montenegrin genes\u201d.\n\nAfter king\u2019s residence they are offered Montenegrin rose wine \u201cRegina\u201d in the beautiful\nsurroundings of another royal residence Biljarda. Just after leaving Cetinje, mountain road took us to the heart of National park Lovcen where our guests had a chance to taste traditional mountain menu and feel traditional Montenegrin hospitality in \u201cIvanov Konak\u201d restaurant. Next day was reserved for charms and beauties of the Boka Bay. Visit of the Old Town of Kotor with private concert of Orthodox choir \u201cJedinstvo\u201d in St Nikola\u2019s church.\n\nScenic catamaran drive was stopped for a visit to the jewel of the bay, island of Our Lady of the Rocks. Don Srecko, parish priest of Perast, has shared with our guests stories of the island, church and baroque town of Perast. And for group of 150 guests, including five ministers and 40 city mayors, our best reference is our partner\u2019s feedback: \u2033This group was a real success. Program that you offered created beautiful image of Montenegro\u2026 For gala dinner we had positive comments from all the guests. Many thanks for your great work on this project.

November 2018 was dominated by the SEEbtm Party, when, for the seventh time, representatives of hotels, hotel chains, event venues, convention centers, agencies, and event planning companies were gathered along with other industry stakeholders and influencers.
\n
Organized by Portal Kongresniturizamand SEEbtm magazine, the region\u2019s meetings industry get-together took place on November 15th, 2018 at the now traditional venue \u2013 restaurant Kalemegdanska terasain Belgrade. The event was attended by around 250 people.
\n
\n
The photo wall was again made of wood pallets covered in original decorations \u2013 the recognizable Kongresniturizam and SEEbtm logo in 3D \u2013 announcing another SEEbtm Awards \nceremony. The lamps and hand-made paper flowers in various sizes, some of which had 15 inches in diameter, featuring corporate colors \u2013 gold, navy, white, and black \u2013 perfectly complemented the wood backdrop and further accentuated what was supposed to draw attention. This was the spot where all the guests wanted to take pictures. In harmony with the flowers\u2019 colors, in blue and gold, during the evening the guests were served branded \nfortune cookies with motivational messages. Among the messages were also some funny ones, which made the guests smile.
\n
\n
Since the guests at the last SEEbtm Party loved taking photos with the Polaroid, us being in the digital age and rarely having a physical photograph as a keepsake, once again the hostesses took photos and placed hashtag stickers on the instant snapshots \u2013 #SEEbtmParty, #Kongresniturizam, and #SEEbtmAwards. The mood was excellent thanks to the host, as well as the Balkan Express band, and the party kept going until late in the evening.
\n
Be what you want to see in others
\n
CSR was again an inevitable part of the SEEbtm Party this year \u2013 in the form of a fundraiser.The entire amount of 190,000.00 RSD, collected through symbolic event tickets priced at 999.00 RSD, was donated this year to the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which focuses on educating children between three and a half and five and a half years of age who are unable to attend pre-school. They, as well as SEEbtm Party organizers, believe that every child can become a champion if given sufficient attention, support, and love.
\n
\n
The attitude towards the child during this period can play a key role in realizing his or her potential. At the event, the Novak Djokovic Foundation was represented by their Project Manager Marko Kovacevic, who made a speech and thanked everyone who helped the Foundation\u2019s efforts by \u201cbuying\u201d the ticket.
\n
Every guest received a gift bag containing the last issue of SEEbtm, a badge with the universal message on the importance of donating, and a bookmarker with the same motif. \nAnd since that SEEbtm issue centered on socially responsible activities, the organizers had special pens made for the guests depicting how small steps lead to big things, and how the seeds of attention, love, and kindness that we show others pay off in many ways. The special pens contain a lavender seed. When the pen is used up, it can be placed in a pot \nof soil and after a week\u2019s watering the seed grows.

It was my first time to join the SEEbtm Party. I wasn\u2019t surprised at all by the excellent organization of the event since I have learnt by now that excellent organization is no surprise \nwhen it comes to Kongresniturizam. The venue itself, food, wine, and music were absolutely exquisite. Being a jury member this year, the final list of awards particularly made me happy realizing there were many voters who shared my opinion. Congratulations on your excellency and keep it that way in the future!

I take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful SEEbtm Party. I\u2019d like to congratulate the team of portal Kongresniturizam and SEEbtm magazine for great organized party, I really enjoyed all presentations, as well as food and music. Many thanks for the wonderful photos and for all of the work you did to host us.

An important highlight to the end of my year will also be the fantastic party organised by the team of SEEbtm magazine and portal Kongresniturizam. Conceptually planned to the very last detail, an extremely pleasant atmosphere \u2013 all the elements of a successful party were there. As someone who is in charge of organising corporate events and team building, I know very well how difficult it is to keep everything under control, be innovative, creative, to offer new experiences, and most importantly \u2013 to inspire teams to greatness in their future endeavours. On that November evening, this team did exactly that, at the Kalemegdanska Terasa. Congratulations on this! I would like also to emphasise the philanthropic aspect of the event and the donations made by the guests to help the work done by the Novak Djokovic Foundation. Raising awareness and social responsibility should become the norm at these kinds of events \u2013 only by working together can we accomplish great things!

Regarding the SEEbtm Party, we just have the words of praise. The hosts welcomed us warmly, the hostesses were especially kind, the organization was excellent.

It\u2019s wonderful when a good idea to help someone is born. To help an individual, community, planet. But how to plan such an event? Whatever is the extent of importance of the technical part of the organization, which is indisputable, the implementation of the idea of assistance is also important. And what\u2019s important to pay special attention to?
\n
CSR activity should be a part of the company\u2019s corporate values
\n
The vision and mission you have about the assistance should be textually formulated. Try to make it as precise descriptive as possible, following the values of the company you work in, \nhighlighting what is most important. The CSR should be one of the key elements to help in formulating it.
\n
Summarize/make a resume of current CSR activities
\n
Define the actions your company is currently implementing by considering both the existing and potential CSR activities. You will be surprised by the resume. Then, make a list of activities, show it to your colleagues and discuss it. You will discover many things that require your additional efforts and attention, so elaborate them. Make a list of problems you identify, consider the activities that can help you to solve them and turn them into some kind of help for your environment. At the same time, you must be aware of the expectations that your environment has of you as a company.
\n
Plans should be realistic
\n
We easily get \u201ccaught up\u201d when it comes to CSR activities. One thing is to want to save the world, and completely the other are the possibilities to do so. Each, even the smallest, shift, or a good deed, makes the world a better place to live.
\n
\n
Engage your colleagues
\n
Colleagues and associates should be explained the essence of the CSR activities you are planning and ask them to help with the design and/or organization. People who are participating with you in this human mission should believe in the whole project. They should \nidentify themselves with it, feel that what you are looking for is useful both for the community, and also for them as individuals. In the end, they should be motivated, full of enthusiasm, and celebrate each common success in the implementation of CSR activities.
\n
Inform the public about what you are doing
\n
Eternal moral dilemma: Do everyone need to know that you did a good deed or not? Some feel that they should work in silence, without informing the public. Personally, I think it\u2019s not good. Companies, but also individuals, should be an example of good practice. And the public should know that. It must have happened that you were inspired by someone to do something. Informing the public about beautiful and useful things shall serve for that purpose exactly \u2013 raise the awareness of something. You will achieve more and the results will be evitable if you allow CSR activities are known! And what some of the companies in our region do in this field and what their ideas are, read in the lines that follow.

L\u2019OR\u00c9AL Citizen Day, Serbia \n
\n
\u201cEvery year, the L\u2019Or\u00e9al Group organizes a Citizen Day and all employees from all over the world take part in. This initiative, as a day of community volunteering enables employees to devote an entire day of working time to support the local communities and beneficiaries of non-profit organizations in the social and environmental area. This year, a great voluntary action, in which more than 100 volunteers took part and more than 800 working hours were donated, was held in the inclusion center \u201cMeeting Point\u201d in Zemun Polje (Belgrade, Serbia).
\n
\n
Within the action, two sensory gardens with over 200 seedlings were formed as a part of future therapy for users, three big murals were painted on the walls which will contribute to a positive atmosphere in the yard of the center, and a sports courts for basketball and football for the users of the center and the local population were redecorated. Over 100 kilograms of apricot jam were prepared, while a number of different products were made through creative workshops. Those products will be further offered to individuals and companies by the inclusive center as part of the sustainable business strategy of this institution.\u201d

\u201cBe what you want to see in others\u201d\u2013 SEEbtm Party, Serbia
\n
\u201cSEEbtm Party, a regional gathering of the congress industry, is organized this year for the seventh time. At the last one we hosted about 250 guests from the world of event organization, our partners, colleagues and associates. What gave the night a particular importance was that we successfully organized humanitarian activity as well, namely, the collection of funds for NURDOR \u2013 the National Association of Parents of Children with Cancer, in a form of a symbolic \u201cticket\u201d for the event, when it was collected and donated more than 108,000 RSD.
\n
\n
\u201cBe what you want to see in others\u201d was our slogan, and all the guests were pleased to support this idea, took part in it, and encouraged us to make this a standard when it comes to the SEEbtm Party. This year, we gathered again on November 15th, and also organized a humanitarian campaign. The price of the ticket was 999,00 RSD, and all income, 190.000,00 RSD, was donated to Novak Djokovic Foundation.\u201d

\u201cWe love holidays because we love each other\u201d\u2013 Konzum, Croatia
\n
For the second year, Konzum conducts a holiday campaign \u201cWe love holidays because we love each other\u201d and through it, the spell of the holidays is shared with customers and employees, and traditionally help the ones who need the help. During the Advent in 2017, Konzum\u2019s holiday house visited the country to spread magic in Istria, Dalmatia, Slavonia, in the north of the country, and in Zagreb. In each city, donations were collected for a local association chosen by Konzum employees only, and the citizens participated with a symbolic donation of 10 KN and got the toy, as a memory of a good deed. Thanks to this successful initiative, Konzum has provided a donation of 25,000 KN to associations from Zagreb, Varazdin, Osijek, Pula, Split, Vukovar, Rijeka and Dubrovnik. After the magic of the holidays spread throughout the country, representatives of Konzum visited associations, gave donations and cheered more than 6,000 people.

The activity that the clients anticipated with the excitement was the party day on the St. Nicholas Island in Budva \u2013 Montenegrian Hawaii. The clients were greeted by a DJ, sunbeds and umbrellas, beach-volleyball court, open bar and crystal clean water \u2013 where they enjoyed kayaking, SUPs and crazy sofas.

Client\u2019s expecta\u0004tions can\u2019t be failed. Especially if you are working in the event industry. How much is crea\u0004tivity really important in that ma\ber? What are specific needs of incen\u0004tive trips? Answers on these and other ques\u0004tions gave us Ivana Sofranac, Project Manager and Iva Vujovic, Senior Project Manager, who work in agency Talas Montenegro DMC.
\n
Event organiza\u0005tions is said to be crea\u0005tive job. How does this turn out to be true in practi\u0005ce?
\n
Of course, can you imagine organizing events that always look like one another, what would be the purpose? Wider vision and escape from a comfort zone are defini\u0004tions of crea\u0004tivity in MICE industry. For example, when you see the beach, it\u2019s not the only thing that needs to be seen. Besides that you need to imagine tables, why not set up in the water or synchronized \nswimmers? Your next step is passing this idea to the others. A\u0006fter a while they will be able to \nshare your vision. Our creati\u0004vity and ability to find the solu\u0004on for \u201calmost impossible\u201d made us recognizable and succesfull on the MICE market.
\n
How do you define a crea\u0005tive concept?
\n
Flexibility is MUST in our business. Knowing that the client is one of the biggest manufacturers \nfrom the cleaning industry in France we picked \u201ccleanness\u201d as a theme and cleanness of our \ncountry perfectly fi\bed in. Our idea was to give different name to each day, so Boka bay tour became \u201ceau claire\u201d (our clean sea) and the next day \u201cair frais\u201d (fresh air). The visit of \nKotor became discovering Kotor through five senses enriched by adding a small Kotor carnival, as a one of the first things that came up to our minds when we men\u0004on Kotor. This was the first \u0004me that we organized small carnival out of period of carnivals and it perfectly \nfi\btted in this unusual way of discovering Kotor.
\n
What did this group liked most about the event?
\n
It was a chance for them to visit the country that they would maybe never visit on their own. They had a well-balanced program and they enjoyed the things that are definitely not part of their everyday life. The fact that every single moment during this trip was planned especially for them was also an important factor. During site inspec\u0004on the client said \u201cI want to see stars in their eyes\u201d and this sentence was leading us through all the prepara\u0004ons all the way to the successful event.
\n
What does the incen\u0005ve trip mean for them?
\n
Those are the trips to talk about during the whole year and this company organizes them once a year. The success of an event is measured by sati\u0004sfac\u0004tion of the par\u0004cipants and the fact that they had a chance to learn something new, that they felt privileged and built the stronger connec\u0004tions with their team. It\u2019s a pleasure for us to learn from the client about the percentage of the ROI a\u0006er the incenti\u0004ve trip. That\u2019s a moment when we realize that every link in the chain completed its mission and it gives big sati\u0004sfac\u0004tion to all of us.
\n
Are the expecta\u0005ons of clients from our region different in rela\u0005on to those coming \nfrom other European countries?
\n
As I already men\u0004tioned, it depends on the market. When we talk about the markets that we are familiar with, we know at the very beginning what the client wants, and how easy or difficult the request can be. Most of our clients come from Europe but we also open the door for more and more new, worldwide markets. They put us in the new missions and thanks \nto that we run out of the usual way of thinking and ac\u0004ting. That\u2019s what makes our job so interes\u0004ng and dynamic. We put so much of our \u0004time in exploring and educati\u0004on. We listen because every culture has its own story.
\n
Everything unknown and unseen is a challenge. A\u0006fter a successful event the questi\u0004ons like \u201cCan you organize for us\u2026\u201d gets its answer \u201cYes, done\u201d . A\u0006fter all, out task is clear \u2013 to make Montenegro a desti\u0004nati\u0004on worth talking about!

Since 2005, EURES-TIM has been providing the full range of event planning services, and using its creativity, motivation, experience, and attentiveness it strives to provide the best solutions and ensure flawless events.
\n
In line with this, EURES-TIM has a new logo, and new all-round branding is in the works. With a vision of being different and positioning itself on the market with its own brand and service standards, EURES-TIM is a modern, inventive, and financially healthy company that constantly contributes to tourism product quality.
\n
\n
\n
EURES-TIM founder and general manager Martina Tretinjak Dananic has more than 15 years of experience in event and special dinner planning.
\n
Since 2015, she has been actively developing concepts of gastronomic experiences in the region, working with numerous top restaurants and chefs. Thanks to her understanding of the gastronomy world, oenology, and catering and her extensive experience in event management, EURES-TIM continues to raise the bar in event planning. In order to make the end product more interesting \u2013 in addition to carefully listening to the market \u2013 Martina and her team are in constant search for new creative solutions. Today, when technology is practically available all-round, authenticity depend solely on creativity. And how is one to stay creative? Martina answered this question for us.
\n
\n
\u201cDinners are mostly organized in restaurants, as well as in unusual locations that meet the requirements of this type of events. Nowadays, it\u2019s common that certain clients have been invited to dinners that took place in museums, galleries, theaters, and the like. We, too, have such locations in our offer, but we always try to enhance and improve them, we try to create a story that has its beginning and its end. Along with those already accepted locations, we also like to play around with unusual locations \u2013 for example, a welcome drink in a tramcar or a dinner on a train…
\n
Another example is dinner in the woods, with the smell and sounds of the woods, and the entire setting is complemented by special lighting effects, special sounds, etc. There are fairies and elves who dance and play music… The tables have natural decorations like moss and leaves,\u201d says Martina.
\n
Multi-Sensory Dining \n
\n
The world has seen a rising popularity of the so-called multi-sensory dining, and now you can enjoy it in our region, in Croatia to be more precise. \u201cIn the last two years, the agency has been focusing its planning expertise also on one special part of the segment of the whole \n event, which is planning special dinners that are often accompanied by full technical production.Multi-sensory dinings are mainly themed dinners that, along with serving high-quality food and beverages, provide the attendees with a new experience without them knowing it beforehand. This new experience can mean an entirely unexpected event during the dinner itself or a completely unexpected location or decoration, and all this often includes also video, lighting, and sound,\u201d Martina explains.
\n
\n
Multi-sensory dinings are accompanied by full technical support, striving to include most senses with the help of special smells, video projections, and different sounds. Interactivity is introduced among guests because the point is to outdo the concept of sitting and consuming \nfood and drinks. \u201cIt all depends on how far the client wants to go and, of course, on the \n available budget. It is important to note that we are the ones who mainly choose the locations, since we know the basic prerequisites for the event, but of course we consult \n with clients and we gladly listen to their wishes,\u201dsays Martina.
\n
Organizing this kind of dinner takes time, as well as knowledge and experience, taking into account the fact that clients are very well informed about both gastronomy and wine. Martina is a passionate foodie and oenologist, and she completed the Sommelier Club of Croatia\u2019s first sommelier level training, and she is already preparing for the second level. Because of this, clients began to trust her with choosing menus, as well as wine and other drinks.
\n
\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful feeling when someone places that trust in you, but on the other hand it creates a certain pressure that you have to know more, that every time you have to surprise the client with something new and provide a new experience. Based on experience, every part of the whole organization is important, but in the end, much attention is paid to the quality of food, beverage, and services.\u201d
\n
Clients Come First \n
\n
Everything is centred on clients\u2019 needs, which is reflected by the fact that EURES-TIM invested in catering logistics, giving birth to EURES-TIM FURNITURE. The company started this project this year because it realized that as they push the envelope in choosing locations, there is a lack of quality logistics support. \u201cConsidering that today\u2019s events are much more complex and clients indeed appreciate when we take care of even the smallest details at their events, we invested in making customized furniture that meets our requirements, because these are in fact the requirements of our clients.\u201d
\n
\n
The furniture was being designed for months until we reached a good solution \u2013 not only in terms of design, but also transport and storage. Each element is made separately and stored this way in order to prevent damage. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us that everything looks like it\u2019s being used for the first time, and we want to further build our reputation regarding quality. \n Today, certain locations are already showing great interest in our furniture, so we often \n support them with elegant bars, tables, armchairs, and the like,\u201d Martina says.
\n
David Kusanic, Brand Engagement Manager at Groupe Renault
\n
I have been working with Martina and EURES-TIM for many years on various projects \nand events that they organized for Renault Group brands. With their expertise and the highest quality of execution and organization, they were able to reach new levels with each new event, also raising the level of expectations industry-wide (both in the automotive and event management industries). Over the past couple of years, their focus on differentiating with \u2018special dinners\u2019 has certainly come to light. This organization places focus not only on the highest level of the food and wine spectrum (which Martina\u2019s continuous development contributes to), but also on the accompanying venue decoration and audio-visual effects, stage props, and highest-level service.
\n
Renata Jagetic, Mazda Motor Croatia, Managing Director for Southeast Europe
\n
Considering the size of our team on the one hand and the number of markets we cover on the other, it is very important to us that our partners become our \u201caffiliated members.\u201d With EURES-TIM, this has been the case since the very first project. In the past four and a half years of our cooperation, we have done a number of big and small events, meetings, and promotions in several countries. For Martina there are no big or small projects, she approaches each one with immense energy and full focus, taking care that the perfect result is made up of perfect details. And most importantly\u2013although I know the content of the event in advance, I am always eager to see the execution. Martina is a master in exceeding expectations.
\n
Ivana Mudrovcic, Mazda Motor Croatia, Marketing Manager for Southeast Europe
\n
At the very first event she organized for Mazda, Martina showed that she and her team understand client needs and the brand they work with perfectly well. Through the years, we have created a partnership in which Martina has managed to amaze us every time with ideas, execution, and small details that make such a big difference. With an agency like this one, which constantly invests in knowledge, it is extremely easy to establish a warm and sincere relationship, and you can always count on them delivering not only the user experience you wanted, but more than that. When it comes to EURES-TIM, the term \u201cturnkey\u201d is much more than just a phrase.

The event, one in a series taking place in the restaurant, reinforced Tehnomarket\u2019s loyalty to the venue with the best view in Belgrade. The first event held by Tehnomarket at Top of the Hub was its 2007 New Year\u2019s blowout. Around 150 party-goers were guaranteed to have a good time thanks to a fantastic band and the venue\u2019s great acoustics. Staying perfectly on script ensured there was not a single overcrowding issue at the entrance. In addition, the professional staff made sure that the guests were relaxed and champagne was enough \nfor good mood at all times.
\n
Tehnomarket extrudes and produces aluminum joinery, as well as ventilated and glazed facades. The last event was the company\u2019s 27th anniversary and cocktail party to celebrate its appearance at Belgrade\u2019s 2017 Building Trade Fair. Top of the Hub met the highest \nexpectations yet again. Some 100 friends and partners of the company enjoyed sushi and jazz to the late hours. Every company\u2019s request concerning the event planning was heard \nand followed to the letter. We were also surprised how proactive the employees were in choosing the decorations and furnishing the space.
\n
The fantastic lighting, the view, and the feeling that you\u2019re standing on top of a city make Top of The Hub the right place for important and special occasions. The restaurant\u2019s excellent wine selection is always welcomed with enthusiasm by wine aficionados. As a company that has been in business for more than 27 years, Tehnomarket has certainly seen its fair share of event venues, but Top of The Hub stays at the very top, just as its name and proficiency suggest.
\n
\u201cAs a company that deeply nurtures its corporate culture, we quite often hold get-togethers for our employees and partners. Top of The Hub is our favorite venue because of its outstanding view, highly professional staff, original catering, as well as its excellent wine selection\u201d, Miki Krsanin, Chairman of the Board, praises the restaurant. \u201cI always say that Top of the Hub is the best way to show Belgrade to our guests from abroad. In addition \nto the view, the fantastic organization supervised by Manager Katarina \u2013 who is always available for any conceivable query \u2013 is certainly one of the main reasons we will continue our business together\u201d, said Kristina Zuliani, Brand Manager at the company.

One of the hotel\u2019s key advantages is its multifunctionality. The congress area is spread across three levels \u2013 from a spacious banquet hall on the ground floor, to conference rooms on the first and second floors, which, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, provide abundant natural light and a pleasant working environment. An additional benefit is more than 700 m\u00b2 of exhibition space, as well as a restaurant with a capacity of up to 230 guests, making it possible to combine both business and social segments of events within one venue.![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/smanjeno-3-scaled.jpg\")
In recent years, the hotel has hosted a wide variety of events \u2013 from international conferences and congresses, to workshops and training sessions, as well as gala dinners and cocktail receptions. Thanks to its central Belgrade location, guests not only enjoy a flawlessly organized event, but also experience the spirit of old Dor\u0107ol, where tradition and modern design meet.![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/smanjeno-4-scaled.jpg\")
What truly sets Mona Plaza apart is its atmosphere. The history of the location, industrial charm, and the story of chocolate create an ambiance that inspires.
