(Madrid, December 14, 2020) Manuel Castro, member of the eMadrid Network, has received an award from the Madrid Convention Bureau for his collaboration with the entity and, especially, for his work during the pandemic. It has been during the Recognition Night 2020, an event that aims to thank all those professionals who promote the image of Madrid in the field of holding congresses.

MCB wanted to add two new categories of awards, taking into account the complex circumstances that have marked this year. One, which seeks to highlight 7 veteran collaborators and ambassadors for their support -among them, Manuel Castro-; and another, at the sectoral level, which has awarded the MICE and health sectors.

Manuel Castro has been an ambassador of the MCB since 2014 and an honorary ambassador since 2017. Two recognitions that he also shares with another member of the eMadrid Network, Edmundo Tovar.

In its thirteenth edition, the format of Recognition Night has been adapted to the new circumstances, in addition to complying with all the health and prevention protocols recommended by the authorities. The meeting has put on the table the role of Madrid as a destination capable of hosting safe events.

The Ambassador Program promoted by the Tourism Delegate Area through the Madrid Convention Bureau aims to help those responsible for organizing a congress in Madrid. This city promotion plan has been underway for 13 years and was a pioneer in our country.
