Networks
VisitOdense facilitates five networks aimed at the city's tourism industry. We use different approaches to work together on elevating the city and exploring how we can improve.
If you'd like to learn more, you'll find information and contacts below.
Cultural Tourism Network
Four times a year, a group of the city’s cultural players meet to collaborate on developing tourism and promoting Odense as a cultural destination. The network has jointly authored a Cultural Tourism Manifesto, which guides its focus areas. The meetings include peer-to-peer exchange, external inspiration, and solution-oriented workshops.
For more information, contact Katrine Have Damgaard – kahd@odense.dk
Event Network
Once or twice a year, event organisers in Odense meet to discuss conditions for hosting events, explore new trends and tendencies, and – most importantly – talk about how to keep Odense vibrant with events. The network visits various event organisers in the city and invites inspirational speakers on current topics.
For more information, contact Casper Sundstrup Nelausen – canel@odense.dk
Hotel Network
Two to three times a year, hotel operators in the city gather to dive into developments in overnight stays, guest attraction strategies, and collaborations around upcoming events in Odense. The network focuses on guest services, event promotion and engagement, and the connection between urban development and hotel industry priorities.

Tourism Kickoff
Once a year, all tourism stakeholders in Odense gather to kick off the new year together. The main focus is to reflect on the past tourism year and provide insights into development projects and trends for the year ahead. There’s time for networking, keynote speakers, and opportunities to contribute to the city’s tourism development. Everyone is welcome, and you’ll automatically receive an invitation if you’re signed up for VisitOdense’s B2B newsletter (only available in Danish).
Odense Storytellers
This network is for local influencers and content creators who want to showcase what makes Odense unique. Here, you can share your perspectives, discover hidden gems, and tell the stories that bring the city to life. As a member, you’ll become part of a community where we meet, share experiences, and learn about the initiatives shaping Odense’s future. You’ll also receive invitations to special events where we explore and share the city with authenticity and passion. Sign up here.
