The Meetings Show 2023

After months of planning, we kicked off The Meeting Show 2023 by attending the hosted buyer’s reception located in the O2. The show organisers had done an amazing job of securing this venue at the last minute after the original plans fell through. There was a fantastic turn out for the event from both a hosted buyers and supplier side and it was a great start to the week meeting up with connections old and new. It was a super modern venue and a unique space that supported networking in a relaxed environment.  For those who were feeling competitive you could have a go at the interactive football games where you could test your targeting skills, although most people were just having a bit of fun seeing if they could kick the ball back. A great DJ kept the atmosphere going before we all headed back to our hotels ahead of a busy two days.

This was the first year that we exhibited at The Meetings Show and we were delighted to be supported by 10 of our suppliers, including A&K Mice Brazil, Egypt, East Africa, India and Jordan, CMX Events Monaco and the South of France, Fourth Dimension Italy, Costa Rica DMC, Gulf Dunes Dubai, Qincentive Turkey, Asian Trails Malaysia and Singapore, Maritur DMC Mexico and from Pearl Global Collection partner hotels, Sun Siyam Maldives and Lux Collective Mauritius. Over the 2 days the stand had over 160 scheduled meetings. We were delighted to see so many existing clients and meet so many new contacts and see such enthusiasm in the market for MICE travel. Suppliers were able to spend time with clients discussing all the new updates in the destinations and hotels.
