Find the right M&I global MICE event for your meetings, incentives, conferences and events goals

A hosted buyer event brings qualified buyers and suppliers together through pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, networking and destination experiences. Qualified buyers attend as hosted guests, with accommodation and meals during the event included, while suppliers pay a participation fee to access targeted business opportunities. Qualified hosted buyers receive an airfare allowance towards their travel to and from the event. The allowance varies by event and region and is confirmed as part of the registration process.

Each M&I event is built around a personalised schedule of pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, matched to your sourcing goals, alongside structured networking and destination experiences. Buyers and suppliers connect ahead of the event so every conversation on-site is relevant and commercially valuable.

Meetings are pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings per attendee and are set by format: M&I Flagship (Europe and US editions), M&I Private and M&I Transatlantic include 40; M&I Healthcare includes 35; LUXE by M&I includes 30 curated signature meetings. M&I Expo is an exhibition format, with details at expo.mi-forums.com.

M&I runs a family of complementary formats — Expo, Flagship, Transatlantic, Private, Healthcare and LUXE — each tuned to a particular region, sector or sourcing need. That lets you choose the environment, audience and scale that best fits your business objectives.

M&I events bring together qualified meetings and events buyers — corporate planners, agencies, associations and procurement teams — with hotels, venues, destinations, DMCs and event service providers from across the global MICE industry.

Start with your region, sector and the type of business you want to do. Flagship suits broad multi-market sourcing, Private and LUXE suit premium and boutique needs, Healthcare serves the medical sector, and Transatlantic connects North America with Europe. Our team can recommend the best fit if you're unsure.

Yes. Many buyers and suppliers attend multiple M&I events across different regions each year to broaden their network and pipeline. Eligibility is confirmed per event to make sure each programme remains relevant and high-quality.

Buyers and suppliers span corporate, agency, association and incentive travel sectors, with dedicated formats for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry and for luxury MICE.

Unlike an open trade-show floor, M&I events are built around a curated, pre-scheduled meeting programme. Every attendee is vetted, and meetings are matched in advance, so your time is spent with the most relevant connections rather than chance encounters.

Yes. Suppliers can take part in multiple M&I formats and editions across the year through flexible participation options, including full and shared tables and sponsorship opportunities. Our team can help recommend the right mix for your goals.

We carefully curate your schedule to ensure that no matter how many M&I events you attend across the calendar year, you will not have the same meeting twice. That's the M&I guarantee. The more events you attend, the more detailed a profile we build of you, and the better we are able to curate your schedule. We achieve this through smart matchmaking technology and the support of a hands-on team who care about the quality and relevance of your meetings.

If you're unsure which M&I format or edition is right for you, our team can help. We'll talk you through your region, sector and objectives and recommend the best route, whether you're attending as a buyer or participating as a supplier.
