The MEETINGS SPACE

The MEETINGS SPACE The Meetings Space - Seriously good one on one MICE business forums Our team includes MICE country specialists who are based in the key European markets.

The Meetings Space buyers and suppliers includes the diamonds and hidden gems of the industry. These experts are daily immersed in serving buyers and suppliers across the European meetings industry. They get their thrills out of knowing who is who on the buyers’ side and also what is hottest on the suppliers’ side. They ensure that our forums reflect some of the most important developments in peop

le and places which occur throughout the year - and that the delegates at our forums are influential and inspirational. We invite UK buyers primarily with German and other key Eu markets and European suppliers. The programme generally takes place over 2.5 days and 2 nights and is formatted to offer delegates the maximum benefits within the optimum time frame. Delegates arrive Thursday for an early evening start. Departure is after lunch on Saturday afternoon. Hosted buyers are usually offered the option to stay an extra day for a hosted destination discovery incentive. It is an extremely productive balance of meetings, networking, educational and exchange sessions, consolidation and fun - a true reflection of our industry. The emphasis will be on adding benefit throughout the programme – with surprises along the way. The venues we use offer relaxing luxury in which to build relationships and do business - and the destinations are inspiring. Our forums are generally kept to a highly effective balance of between 115-125 Suppliers and between 70-85 Buyers - ensuring the size of the forum is kept intimate and enabling everyone to be able to meet at some point during the programme. Currently about to launch the destination of our 10th successful forum for Spring 2018, we run two forums annually - one in Spring and one in Autumn. Previous successful forums have been held in Berlin, Madrid, Cannes, Cascais, Warsaw, Athens Riviera, Copenhagen and our 9th forum for Autumn 2017 will be in fabulous Budapest.

In the Algarve you might have seen a new face in our team. Meet Esther, our new Events Executive.⁠

🔹 Fun fact about you⁠?⁠⁠
I wrote a book when I was 15 and published it on amazon. ⁠

🔹 Favourite country you've visited?⁠
Tough question, so many to pick from! I love Thailand, it's completely true what they say about it being the land of smiles. Having lived there for a little and visited a few times, you can't beat the food, people and nature there. Honourable mentions are Singapore and Indonesia! ⁠
