Educational trips, also known as 'fam trips', are trips organised specifically for event planners and travel agents to give them a better understanding of a particular destination or event. The trip usually includes sightseeing, demonstrations and discussions with locals and experts.

Choosing the right city can make all the difference to the success of a congress.
On a professional level, there is the opportunity to network with local experts, institutions and companies who can make a valuable contribution with technical visits, best practices and lecture content. For the impact of a congress, it is important that it is well known in the city and that the city leadership is involved, for example through patronage, greetings, opening speeches, etc. The congress can also be used as a platform for the local community. The attractiveness of the chosen city also plays an important role in creating a positive overall image of the congress. Historic architecture, exciting social and cultural programmes, a unique shopping environment, but also short walking distances and authentic experiences all have a positive influence on the perception and the number of participants at a congress.

Site inspections are visits to venues to ensure that they meet the requirements of a planned event. During a site inspection, the planning team visits the facilities to ensure that they meet the requirements in terms of capacity, facilities and other important factors.

Technical visits offer delegates the opportunity to visit specific facilities and see the technology or processes related to the theme of the event. This could be a visit to a research laboratory, factory or museum relevant to the event. Technical visits can also be used for training to enhance participants' knowledge in a particular area.
