We were used to taking flights, buses for transfers and without considering the carbon footprint of hotels and other suppliers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We did a complete turnaround by traveling to Lyon by train with 150 people. It is only 4 hours from Brussels and 3h20&#8242; from Lille and there is no check-in procedure, no security check so not much time is needed before we board the comfortable train. Efficient, fast and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>And we arrived in the middle of Lyon, so not at an airport outside the city.<\/p>\n<p>From the train station, it was a 4-minute walk to the very comfortable Pullman hotel. No transfers needed, no buses &#8230; just a short walk to the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The brand new Pullman is very focused on sustainability and CSR, so it was the perfect place to hold the conference during the day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-142735\" src=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1-1440x1080.jpg\" alt=\"lyon1\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon1.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the evening, restaurants were within walking distance, so again we did not need bus transportation.<\/p>\n<p>The client was very impressed and we are already looking at a similar concept for next year!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-142737\" src=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3-1440x1080.jpg\" alt=\"lyon3\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/lyon3.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For one of our clients, we have been organizing customized medical conferences for more than 5 years.
