"When pigs fly" has long been a synonym with the wildly improbable. We now need those pigs flying - as our most wicked challenges demands seemingly impossible solutions, and this is what we will be diving into at the City Destinations Alliance Conference in Bruges, October 16-18, 2024.

Join us as we delve into…

… how radical collaboration within urban tourism can spark much-needed transformation. Discover strategies for handling crises, when your pig hits the fan and attracts public frenzy. Explore how YES-and thinking can lead to the extraordinary, and how we can piggyback on innovations from other challenged industries striving for impossible change. Add your voice to the discussion: Is there a real pig flying moment ahead for air travel, or is it simply a pigment of our imagination.

Help us let pigs fly, as we meet for the City Destinations Alliance conference in Bruges, October 16-18, 2024. Over two immersive days, we will explore audacious ideas and solutions in urban tourism. The industry is calling for positive disruption, and we’ll learn and exchange with the brave, the curious, and hopefully also the delightfully bonkers.

From prompt battles to workshops and live demos, we will see pigs flying in three distinct formats: from mainstage inspirators who HOG THE SPOTLIGHT, to GUINEA PIGS of curious experimentation and joint exploration, to PIGGYBACKING on the successes and learnings of other DMOs and urban tourism solutions.

Let’s make the impossible possible together at the "Let Pigs Fly" conference in Bruges from October 16-18, 2024!
