Two editions, with speakers to support

Back to Africa brought African business leaders together in France to engage with the diaspora. The conferences aimed to encourage investment in African countries and give invited panellists a platform.

Blue Prestige partnered with the event in 2023 and again in 2024 to transport these speakers. Each edition comprised two days of conferences.

Connect arrivals with the conference programme

The assignment began with the panellists’ arrivals and continued through the two conference days. For the organiser, arrival transfers and journeys connected with speaking engagements formed one programme.

Our involvement covered the speakers’ journeys. Conference organisation, content and discussions with the diaspora were the responsibility of the event teams.

  • Picking up panellists on arrival.
  • Journeys during the two conference days.
  • Support for two successive editions, in 2023 and 2024.

The challenge: several stages for one event

An arrival welcome alone does not cover a speaker’s journeys during an event. Coordination therefore had to account for the rest of the programme, while remaining limited to the transport entrusted to Blue Prestige.

Blue Prestige provided transport support for panellists during the 2023 and 2024 editions. These two successive assignments are the documented outcome of the collaboration.

What organisers can learn from this

For a conference, agency or company, the priority is preparing arrivals and journeys during the event as one programme, rather than discovering them individually.

Participant numbers, arrival points, destinations and the journey schedule form the basis of the initial discussion. Blue Prestige can then prepare the assignments agreed with the organiser.

Key point

For an event, speakers’ arrivals and journeys should be considered together, with a clearly defined transport scope.
