Kuoni Tumlare Congress has received the 2025 Innovation Award from EventsAir. The award was presented to Franck Grosset, Head of PCO and Innovation, and recognizes ongoing work in how event technology is used in congress delivery.
“This recognition means a lot to me, as it reflects years of ongoing effort to explore and test new technologies and approaches to better manage our events. Our focus has been not only on improving efficiency and reducing costs, but also on enhancing the attendee experience and client satisfaction.”, says Franck Grosset.
EventsAir is a cloud platform designed for conference organisers and event agencies. It supports the full event process, from registration and abstracts to on-site operations and reporting, within one system. For PCOs managing multiple congresses, this centralisation helps keep data consistent, reduces manual errors, and gives teams a clear overview of each event.
A Structured Approach to Innovation
The recognition reflects an approach where innovation is part of daily work, not a separate activity. Kuoni Tumlare Congress runs an internal Innovation Hub that brings together operational and technical roles. Its purpose is to improve how tools and processes are used across projects. The focus is on practical improvements that support planning, coordination, and delivery. This helps ensure that changes are based on real needs from live events.
From Recognition to Daily Practice
The value of this award is linked to how the approach is used in real projects. The same principles are applied across congresses in different destinations, including Prague. Innovation is part of project workflows and on-site delivery, rather than a separate layer.
Prague: Local Delivery Matters
Prague remains an established destination for association congresses, supported by solid infrastructure and an experienced network of venues and suppliers. Kuoni Tumlare Congress works through a local team in Prague. This allows international standards to be applied in a way that fits the local environment.
This setup supports:
- direct contact with local partners
- faster communication during planning
- better connection between preparation and on-site delivery
For organisers, this helps reduce risk and supports a smooth-running event.
Supporting the Wider Meetings Environment
The EventsAir Innovation Award recognises an individual but also points to a broader effort to improve how congresses are delivered. For Prague, working with experienced PCO partners helps maintain a consistent level of quality across the meetings sector.
