🍷 The Club of 369 and the 369 Bottles Challenge
A True Testament to the Power of Community
At the heart of the Poland and CEE Retail Summit stands something truly different:
a community that does not simply attend events, but shapes them.

To celebrate this spirit, Casper Haring, CEO of European Conferences United, launched a unique challenge.

It is called the 369 Bottles Challenge.

The challenge is simple:
Find another event anywhere in the world where over 200 industry leaders physically gather just to decide what should be discussed — and receive 369 bottles of wine, personally.

So far, no one has claimed the prize....

Because the energy of the Club of 369, and the journey it creates, is truly one of a kind.

It is not just about conferences.

It is about people connecting, building, and moving an entire industry forward, together.
