Gijón/Xixón would not be a meeting destination without the involvement and collaboration of the city’s professionals, researchers, and teachers who have brought the best national and international experts in their fields to the city.
By choosing Gijón as a venue for product launches and executive conventions, companies and research centres have also contributed to showcasing the city’s talent and the infrastructure that makes it possible to host all kinds of meetings.

Las empresas del Convention Bureau proponen cada año a una persona para la distinción Embajador/a de Gijón/Xixón. La gala en la que se le hace entrega de la distinción se ha convertido en uno de los eventos del año en la ciudad. Es una oportunidad única de relación entre expertos de muy diferentes disciplinas que normalmente no tienen la ocasión de coincidir, conocerse y establecer proyectos conjuntos.
Each year, the Convention Bureau companies choose someone to be Ambassador for Gijón/Xixón. The gala at which the award is presented has become one of the big events of the year in the city. It is a unique opportunity for networking between experts from very different disciplines who would not normally have the opportunity to meet, get to know each other, and set up joint projects
We invite you to find inspiration for your own event.
