The term we would like to introduce to you today, taken directly from the PCO (Professional Congress Organizer) glossary, is “masterclass”. The word is, not surprisingly, also referred to, especially in academic contexts, as a “lectio magistralis”.

The term describes a short, specialized course designed for a limited number of participants and led by a highly accomplished professional with expertise in the field. The word is often associated with music, where masterclasses are held by experienced musicians, but the concept extends to virtually every field of knowledge. And we know this well, as we regularly host masterclasses of all kinds. At our Generali Convention Center Trieste, in fact, numerous spaces of different sizes are available and can be customized to meet the needs of organizers and the audiences involved.

A good example is the series of masterclasses scheduled as part of “New Frontiers, New Responsibilities”, the 70th National Congress of Italian Engineers, which will be held from Tuesday, September 22 to Friday, September 25 at our Generali Convention Center Trieste. A wide range of topics will be explored, from technical leadership and team coordination to conflict management and intergenerational communication within technical teams, as well as the use of generative AI.
