The Hague's Cyber Security Week in the finals of ICCA's Best Marketing Award
The Hague Convention Bureau (THCB) is in the finals for the renowned International Congress and Convention Association Best Marketing Award. THCB is nominated for its efforts to strengthen The Hague’s position as the Cyber Security Capital of Europe by initiating the International Cyber Security Week (CSW). The winner will be announced during the 57th ICCA Congress on 14 November.
The three organisations shortlisted for this year's Best Marketing Award are Visit Scotland Business Events, Serbia Convention Bureau and The Hague Convention Bureau. The Hague Convention Bureau submitted its case on affirming and strengthening The Hague’s position as the Cyber Security Capital of Europe by initiating the International Cyber Security Week 2017 (CSW). In collaboration with the municipality of The Hague, InnovationQuarter, Deloitte and The Hague Security Delta, THCB organised a week-long festival on cyber security. The event was organised with the participation of more than 100 partners.
Nienke van der Malen, Director The Hague Convention Bureau clarifies, “The Hague has created a strong legacy in clusters like Peace & Justice and Legal & Finance, but it is less known as one of the world leaders in the field of security. The Hague is home to the leading Security cluster in Europe and we are keen to raise awareness for this. That’s why we came up with the idea to schedule all cyber security related events in the same week to maximise their impact”, she explains.
ICCA Best Marketing Award
The ICCA Best Marketing Award, established in 1997, recognises the excellence and outstanding achievements of organisations in their effort to market their destination or product. Entries can range from full scale campaigns and branding exercises to individual promotions and events. Chairman of the judging panel, Patrick Delaney of SoolNua, states, “we were very impressed by this year’s entries, and were particularly excited to discover the innovative ways our finalists are linking destination marketing to their local intellectual capital. They all have a clear focus on the legacy and beyond-tourism aspect of their meetings. We are very much looking forward to their presentations at the ICCA Congress!”
All finalists will present their case at the 57th ICCA Congress between 11 – 14 November 2018 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The winner is chosen by judges and delegates on a 50/50 basis and will be announced during the closing session on Wednesday 14 November 2018.
