4 days for the municipal sector and local authorities: knowledge, products, cooperation
In autumn, 3 important events for the urban management and maintenance sector will take place almost simultaneously at MTP: the European Local Government Forum Local Trends, the POLECO Fair and the GARDENIA Fair. Each of them will address the subject of urban resource management from a slightly different perspective, making them a complementary platform for information, knowledge, the best offers, state-of-the-art technologies and a basis for establishing strategic relations between the city and the resident, the city and business and business and business.
14-15 October - European Local Government Forum Local Trends
Participants at the event include representatives of local governments, city and town mayors and managers of municipal companies. Representatives of administration, business and academia also attend. Thematic areas include issues such as local budgets in the face of multicrisis, municipal economy, adapting cities to climate change, climate education, green urban transformation or spatial governance. The European Self-Government Forum addresses key topics and challenges of Polish local governments in terms of vision and strategic planning, identifying trends, opportunities and barriers to development. It creates an exchange of views and opinions on local government development scenarios and shapes good practices in managing the city and its socio-economic ecosystem.
15-17 October - POLECO Trade Fair
POLECO International Trade Fair for Environmental Protection is the most important conference and exhibition event for the climate protection, environment, municipal management and sustainable development sectors.
