Thanks all members of the SME Academy Network that helped us in our efforts to make our network inspiring and beneficial for all by responding to our Survey. During the first week of March 2018 we got 64 responses from our 600 members - 11% - that is fantastic and we are very happy that you took your valuable time to make us a bit better.

As we mostly meet online in our workshops and round table meetings we thought it is about time to arrange a face to face meeting for all colleagues in the network. The survey result shows that 79,7% of all respondents think it is a great idea and 20,3% think it could be a good idea. So - of course we will schedule and plan for this conference.

Where and When?

As per the results the conference should take place in Brussels, Belgium, on a Friday either in May or September.

We understand that Brussels is an interesting location for many reasons as most of our members are involved in some EU-funded projects or members of different associations based in Brussels. It is of course also a lovely city to visit and flights are easy to get at reasonable costs, traveling within Europe.. However we also got some very interesting suggestions besides the alternatives we listed.
Copenhagen was suggested by several respondents as well as Italy and Rome. We also had suggestions for the Swedish cities Malmö and Gothenburg. Badajoz and Madrid in Spain were two other suggestions and Belfast, Ireland, was also mentioned. Dubai was also suggested as an interesting alternative since we have several members also in Asia and Africa.
We also got two "sales pitches": "Vienna-the most beautiful city in Europe" and "the Land of the Midnight Sun". To be able to actually see the midnight sun (24 hours a day) we need to be in the northern parts of Sweden between end of May and end of July.
