In October 2024 a three-day congress took place in the Utrecht Region (NL) to foster an environment of exchange and collaboration, sharing best practices and growing a network to support the international community. Attracting international professionals is only half of the work; ensuring their integration and making them willing to stay is equally important and was the central theme of the congress hosted by the Utrecht International Center. Nest version of 2025 is in Bologna (It).
Between 28 and 30 October 2025, Bologna hosted the Cities for Talent Meeting – an international gathering organised by the Metropolitan City and the Municipality of Bologna, in collaboration with ART-ER and the Bologna for Talent initiative.
Barcelona hosted the first edition of the Cities for Talent Meeting in 2023. This two-day event brought together leading experts and professionals from cities and regions with innovative programs for attracting and retaining international talent.
