The European Capitals Meeting (ECM),
an event combining inspiration,
collaboration and fun times, takes place in Helsinki on June, 6 - June 9, 2024.
ECM is a perfect combination of having fun and learning!
  • Learn and develop yourself
    Learn about the Finnish culture and environmental topics - since theme of this year is connected closely with the Baltic Sea!
  • Grow your network
    ECM is just as big of a conference to build your network but small enough to really get to know people and make new friends!

    ECM is all about having fun - enjoy the dinners, after parties, the gala, picnic, or what ever program we will build for you. We can ensure you will have a lot of fun!
