Event Type: RTI World Meetings
Organiser: Round Table Estonia
Main Event Dates: 16 to 20 August 2017
Hosted by Round Table Estonia, which itself has been active since 1990, the World Meeting attracted roughly 900 participants from 49 countries.
Programme highlights included a grand barbeque at the Estonian Open Air Museum, a Nations Night at the Tallinn Seaplane Harbour and a gala dinner with a ‘James Bond black tie’ dress code. A general meeting, smaller get-togethers, an Old Town walk and a hike through the Viru Bog were also on the schedule. Several dozen participants opted to take a comprehensive 5‑day pre-tour that covered Estonia’s most popular attractions, offering castle tours, scenic nature spots and even a beach party.
Guests were accommodated at the Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel, which served as the main hotel venue for the event, and at the Tallink Express Hotel.
