The must-attend dates in the MICE calendar: our Flagship Forums set the gold standard for events.
Designed to meet all MICE industry needs, these original-format gatherings deliver unmatched ROI, offering top buyers and suppliers three days of one-to-one meetings and immersive networking opportunities for impactful connections and business growth.
Newcomers enjoyed a welcome breakfast, allowing them to get to know their assigned buddy, before their first set of meetings, set across three purpose-built spaces at our host property, Forte Village Sardinia: Sala Verde and Sala Bianca, Sala Cristalli.
Evenings played out across a range of unique local venues, starting at Forte Village’s very own Casa del Custode, then newly-renovate beach club Rada di Nora, and finally, back at Forte Village.
Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of Coastal Connections, hosted by Forte Village, including go-karting, tennis and padel. Others explored further afield, with vineyard trips, a jeep tour, hiking expedition and an ancient ruins tour.
Of all the events and trade fairs we can attend as experts, I always try to attend M&I. The high level of professionalism in combination with the activities and the extraordinary evenings are simply great. The perfect platform!”
Meike Schindler, Redlin Schindler
M&I is definitely the place to be to meet new and existing partners. The quality of 1-2-1 appointments is outstanding and that, combined with activities and evening programmes where you can make in-depth connections, is very valuable!”
Charlotte Nelis, Meetingselect
The Sardinia Flagship was an excellent way to meet with new and existing suppliers. The quality of the meetings were very good and the atmosphere was amazing!”
Jules France, Space Meetings & Events
Flagships are an awesome event that always ensure amazing connections and a solid return on investment.”
Barbara Puritani, Moxy Milan Linate Airport and Milan Malpensa
As a first-timer at M&I, I really enjoyed how fruitful the meetings were and how the format allows you to morph those formal meetings into friendships during the off-meeting hours.”
Doruk Onder, Elevate DMC
This is an event that you MUST attend! It’s the perfect combination of business and pleasure. Everything has been thought of and arranged for you down to the last detail. If you go alone, you don’t have to worry, everyone is equally helpful, friendly and welcoming.”
