Bio
Karina Grützner
I met Anna in 2011 as host of an ICCA event in Poland. And we became friends through the ICCA family. As Central European chapter volunteers we led the second largest ICCA chapter for 2 years and made a great team. I adore her professional expertise, passion for international association congresses and honesty. She is a great mentor and I’m grateful for everything I learned from her. Better together expresses our belief in strong international collaboration the best.

The Meetings Industry Worldwide would not be the same without Anna! Her passion, leadership skills and her love for the industry has helped position the city of Gdansk in a much higher level as before! She is definitely a great asset for her city and her country!
