Impact & Legacy

What remains once a congress or conference is over? A Green Meeting is an important step. But Congresses can do even more: they can transfer knowledge, foster collaboration, strengthen communities and make a tangible contribution to the Tirol region. We call this ‘Legacy & Impact’. Here, we show you how your event in Tirol can make a positive difference.

Two concepts. One commitment.

  • Legacy...

    ...refers to the long-term added value that an event generates beyond its immediate scope – for an industry, a region or a community.

  • Impact...

    ...refers to the tangible, measurable positive impact: a collaborative project that comes to fruition. An issue that is brought to the public’s attention. An initiative that lives on.

  • Together...

    ...they make the difference between a well-organised event and one that can generate positive momentum beyond the event itself.

What others have already done

Legacy projects require, first and foremost, a good idea and the right timing in the planning process. Here are a few examples that illustrate what is possible:

Where can your event make an impact?

  • Knowledge & Research

    Congresses bring experts together – this knowledge can be transferred to regional networks, educational institutions or businesses. Partnerships with Tirolean universities or research institutions are a natural fit.

  • Education & Young Talent

    Workshops, school programmes or scholarships organised as part of a congress invest in the next generation – and strengthen long-term ties to the destination.

  • Nature & the Environment

    Tirol is a natural environment. Projects such as afforestation, wildflower meadows, clearing of field margins and species conservation initiatives link the event to the local environment – and enable participants to play an active part in shaping it.

  • Society & Community

    Social projects with a local focus – ranging from partnerships with social organisations and voluntary initiatives to cultural exchange projects – can forge links between conference delegates and the Tirolean population.

  • Economy & Innovation

    Congresses can boost regional value creation, help start-ups to network and spur innovation. Partnerships with businesses, cluster initiatives or innovation centres can foster sustainable economic growth.

  • Culture & regional identity

    Events can showcase Tirol’s cultural diversity – for example, through collaborations with artists and cultural practitioners, regional programmes or by incorporating local traditions and venues.
