Conventa Crossover becomes the Unicorn Awards

The competition for the best events in Europe, the Conventa Best Event Award, has been an integral part of the Conventa Crossover conference. We're now making it its own event.

Founded in 2012, the competition, previously known as the Conventa Best Event Award, sought to unearth Europe’s most impressive events. Since then, the competition has become a benchmark for leading industry events across the Baltics, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans. The rebranding into the Unicorn Awards is a logical step in the competition’s evolution, aspiring to showcase something scarce - unicorns - events that leave a lasting imprint, create communities and push the envelope.

Sustainability

Our guiding principle when organising Conventa Crossover is to satisfy the needs of attendees while reducing our carbon footprint and other detrimental environmental effects.

In addition, we strive to leave the destination and event venue in a better state than before organising the event by developing new, innovative, sustainable solutions for Ljubljana’s meetings industry.

SUSTAINABILITY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONVENTA CROSSOVER 2025

We invite all participants to help us make this event more sustainable. Small actions, when taken together, have a big impact.

Mobility

  • Take the train instead of flying – and reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Walk to the venue – you can reach Ljubljana Castle from several paths and burn around 120 calories.

  • Hop on the funicular to reach the castle- it replaces vehicular traffic on the Castle Hill, helping preserve its natural environment!
  • Do you like biking? Hop on a Bicikelj from anywhere in Ljubljana.

Waste

  • Produce less waste and recycle responsibly in our recycling points available around the castle.
  • Bring your own cup for coffee.
  • Avoid single-use plastic whenever possible and choose products with minimal packaging.

Water

  • Drink tap water and refill your own bottle. Ljubljana’s tap water is clean, safe, and 225 times cheaper than bottled.
  • Turn off the tap immediately after use.

Energy

  • Switch off lights when leaving a room.
  • Unplug devices when not in use, avoid wasting hot water, and adjust heating/cooling mindfully—changing the temperature by just 1°C can save 10% of energy.

Food & Drink

  • Choose seasonal, locally grown food, like the one from our catering provider!
  • Prioritise plant-based meals and take only what you’ll eat to help reduce food waste.

Clothing

  • Wear what you already have instead of buying new outfits for the event.

Digital First

  • Keep your travel documents, agenda, and notes electronic—avoid unnecessary printing.

Respect & Awareness

  • At the event, advocate fair play: be transparent, inclusive, and respectful of diversity.
  • Support others by spreading awareness about sustainability measures and encouraging responsible practices.
  • Share your positive experience and help us spread the word about our green story.
