Kicking off another fantastic calendar of events in 2025, we headed to the invigorating and lively borough of Brooklyn. Bringing top American buyers and suppliers together for three days, it was fantastic to see conversations flourish and smiles all round.
A perfect opportunity to explore the vibrant neighbourhood of Williamsburg, delegates were spread across several hotels, including Arlo Williamsburg, The Hoxton Williamsburg, Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg, The Penny Williamsburg and Wythe Hotel.
Our signature one-to-one meetings took place over three days at Arlo Williamsburg, offering the perfect hub for connection, conversation and creativity.
The evenings took place in three vibrant locations – The Penny Williamsburg, offering snow-topped views over to Manhattan, Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg, with several chic venues within the hotel to explore, and at Brooklyn Bowl, a fun way to cement the relationships made over the event on the bowling lanes.
There were also opportunities for delegates to immerse themselves in everything Brooklyn has to offer, with a local food walking tour, a winery visit, a walking tour over Brooklyn Bridge, a Statue of Liberty tour and more.
I had an incredible experience at M&I Brooklyn! The event was well-organized, engaging, and provided an excellent platform to connect with top-notch suppliers who will truly help take my business to the next level.”
Carole Machol-Atler, HelmsBriscoe
It was my first time attending an M&I Forum and it delivered above and beyond! From pre to post events, a well-organized team behind and quality buyers invited. Just about everything was wonderfully crafted and executed.”
Elle Frazzetta, Melia USA Hotels
I focus on 2-3 M&I Forums a year as they guarantee ROI. These Forums offer a more targeted and valuable experience, ensuring quality connections for my business rather than just exposure.”
Sara Ayele, The Kimberley
This was undoubtedly one of the most impactful industry events I’ve attended. The quality of suppliers I connected with over the three days was exceptional, and I would highly recommend this event to other buyers.”
Megan Willauer, WPS
Great energy, genuine connections, and amazing people— M&I Brooklyn was an incredible networking event. I made real connections, had great conversations, and left feeling inspired. Can’t wait for the next one!“
