The forum is by invitation only, and whilst its focus is on the organization of pre-scheduled and matched one-to-one interviews between the parties, it also offers an effective and varied conference programme with numerous educational sessions, key-note speakers and a number of high level networking opportunities.
Europe Congress, one of the leading organisers of specifically targeted business forums for the Convention Bureau and MICE Solution Providers Industry announce that with a month still to run until its upcoming MCE South Europe Business Energiser Forum, it already has more than 60 qualified and pre-checked buyers, and 40 convention bureaus and MICE providers from Southern Europe confirmed to attend this inaugural event.
The MICE South Europe Business Energiser Forum is an intensive 3 day event running from 29th November until 1st December in the Movenpick Hotel Istanbul, Turkey, and it offers a unique opportunity for representatives of South European destinations and its MICE providers to meet face-to-face with selected worldwide meeting planners, each of whom have expressed an interest in finding new business partners in Southern Europe for their pending inquiries.

Whilst Europe Congress has organized several congresses in Istanbul in the past, this is the first time that it has brought its successful ‘Convention and MICE Solution Providers’ format to the city, and the interest that the event has already garnered bodes well for it to be an annual event.
Talking about this, Alain Pallas, the Managing Director of Europe Congress said: “We have been running these intensive forums in Central and Eastern Europe for the past five years, but this is the first time we are organizing it for South Europe. We decided on Istanbul this year for a number of reasons, not least the easy access it has for visitors from both Europe and further East, but also, of course, due to its reputation for wonderful hospitality. Combined with Turkish Airlines agreeing to support the event as the official travel partner, it was an easy decision to make.”
Europe Congress has extensive experience in the organization of these targeted business forums and one of the reasons for its success has been the emphasis that it puts on making sure that there is the highest possible synergy between the buyers that are attending and the companies that are offering their facilities and services. The event in Istanbul will be no exception, with buyers coming from Europe,
Russia, the Middle East, Asia and the US, all of whom have been interviewed and checked to ensure that they have a sufficient volume of outgoing business for the Southern Europe countries that will be available for discussion.
The MCE South Europe Business Energiser Forum is the third event of its type that Europe Congress has organized this year, following on from similar-themed business forums that were held in Warsaw, Poland in February, 2015, and Moscow, Russia in September.
