M&I Flagship Šibenik

M&I Flagship is M&I's gold standard for MICE events.
A hosted buyer event format for the global meetings and events industry, connecting qualified event agencies, corporates and associations with hotels, destinations, DMCs and venues through pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings, destination experiences and structured networking.

M&I Flagship is M&I's largest traditional forum event, designed for broad meetings and events sourcing across hotels, destinations, DMCs and venues, making it ideal for buyers who want to compare multiple event solutions in one place.
Other M&I event formats are more specialised: M&I Private focuses on boutique and independent venues, M&I Luxe on premium incentive travel and luxury hospitality, M&I Healthcare on healthcare-compliant meetings, and M&I Transatlantic connects US buyers with European suppliers.
Each M&I format serves a clear sourcing need, with Flagship offering the broadest cross-category access across the meetings and events industry.

Qualified hosted buyers receive accommodation, transfers and all meals throughout the event dates, plus a personalised diary of 40 pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings.
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.
There is no charge to any buyer.

Yes.
Hotel accommodation for the duration of the programme is part of the hosted buyer package, alongside meals and transfers.
Travel is supported through an airfare allowance, which varies by event and region.

Split Airport (SPU) is approximately 55 km from Šibenik and Zadar Airport (ZAD) is a second option to the north-west.
Airport transfers to and from the event are arranged for hosted buyers.

M&I Flagship Šibenik is designed for UK and European event agencies, corporates, associations and independent planners with active meetings, incentives and event sourcing needs.
Every hosted buyer is individually vetted to ensure supplier meetings are relevant, high-quality and commercially valuable.

Ahead of the event you build a personalised diary of up to 40 pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings matched to your sourcing needs, then spend the programme meeting your matches face-to-face alongside content and networking.

Pre-event matchmaking usually begins around four weeks before M&I Flagship Šibenik starts.
Our Customer Experience team will guide you through completing your profile and sourcing requirements ahead of matchmaking opening, so our AI-powered matchmaking can recommend the most relevant buyers, suppliers and opportunities for your goals.
Your personalised meeting schedule is finalised before the event, giving you time to prepare for more focused and valuable conversations on site.

Meeting schedules are typically released one to two weeks before the event, once matching and supplier confirmations have been completed.

Curated experiences reveal Šibenik’s hospitality and culture — from the UNESCO-listed old town and fortress system to olive harvesting, wine tasting and excursions along the Adriatic coast.

Suppliers can join M&I Flagship Šibenik through flexible participation options, including full tables for a complete diary of pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings, or shared tables for businesses sharing attendance, ideal for hotel groups showcasing multiple properties or convention bureaux representing a wider destination offering.
Suppliers can also bring additional team members at a small additional fee and explore sponsorship opportunities to increase visibility and maximise event impact.
Our team can help recommend the best setup based on your business goals.

Before the event, buyers and suppliers complete their profile and meeting preferences on Wyred, M&I's event platform.
M&I's AI-powered matchmaking and our meetings team use those preferences, together with your history of past M&I meetings, to build a personalised diary of pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings with the most relevant partners.
Meeting schedules are typically released one to two weeks before the event, once matching and supplier confirmations have been completed.

Yes.
The No Repeat Meetings Guarantee applies across the whole M&I portfolio, not just repeat editions of the same event.
Every pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meeting you take at an M&I event is logged against your profile, so when your schedule is built the matchmaking excludes partners you have already met and prioritises new, relevant ones in their place.
You can still ask us to re-book a partner you want to continue a conversation with.

If you're unsure whether M&I Flagship Šibenik is the right fit for your sourcing or sales goals, our team can help.
We'll talk you through whether this edition, or another M&I format, is best suited to your business, audience and event objectives.
