Crowne Plaza has launched a series of “Think Tank” events in Europe aimed at business travelers. The hotel brand, which is an InterContinental Hotels Group Priority Club hotel, is using the events and Web site to increase awareness of the brand in Europe. The events will feature talk from prominent business “Mavericks” such as Carl Honore, “slow movement” guru and author; Safia Minney, fair trade organizer and Dixie Dansercoer, explorer. The Think Tank site will contain .pdf documents featuring tips from the Mavericks, along with downloadable event itineraries, Q&A transcripts and podcasts from every Think Tank event.
