Prague Congress Centre has appointed Lenka Žlebková as its new commercial director. She was formerly director of the Prague Convention Bureau (PCB) for four years. Prior to that she worked as commercial and marketing director of the five-star President Hotel in the Czech capital from 2005 to 2010.
Žlebková, who replaces Jiří Hollan at the end of September, brings her considerable experience in the sector to the Czech Republic’s largest congress venue.
During her tenure at the PCB, Prague rose from 19th to 10th place in the ICCA global city rankings. Žlebková was also a key figure in the successful bid to bring the ICCA Congress to Prague. It will be hosted at the Prague Congress Centre in November, 2017.
Over the past two years, Žlebková has consulted and lectured on strategic management, sales and marketing at the hospitality consultancy Perfect Hotel Concept.
Žlebková comes to Prague Congress Centre with clear goals, including improving the venue’s financial results, primarily through attracting major conventions.
