The City of Dreams Mediterranean, a leading casino-resort in Limassol, Cyprus, has rolled out the red carpet for its inaugural major conference. The event, "M&I Europe Summer 2023," spans three days and features over 300 industry professionals. These experts—predominantly from European nations—are suppliers and buyers specializing in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector.

Arrivals for the conference began today, with participants flying in from various parts of Europe. Starting tomorrow, a packed schedule awaits them. One of the highlights is a series of rapid-fire 15-minute meetings, meticulously designed to facilitate effective networking. These brief encounters aim to connect buyers and suppliers in the MICE industry, fostering potential collaborations and business partnerships.

Hosting this forum is a significant stride for Cyprus in establishing itself as a viable location for international conferences. This point was emphasized during a recent press conference by the Limassol Regional Tourism Development and Promotion Company. By hosting the forum, Limassol not only showcases its capability but also opens the door for future conference tourism, a burgeoning sector that could provide a substantial economic boost to the region.

The selection of Cyprus as the host nation was largely influenced by the capabilities of the City of Dreams Mediterranean. The venue’s state-of-the-art facilities are well-equipped to handle large events, making it an attractive choice for M&I, the global conference organizing company specializing in the MICE industry.

In addition to business meetings, the forum has organized an array of supplementary activities. These include informative and entertaining events such as local excursions. Most notably, attendees will participate in a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event at Limassol’s old port tomorrow. During this event, they will prepare and sell traditional Cypriot dishes, with proceeds going to support the Cyprus Red Cross.

By offering a blend of professional networking opportunities, educational activities, and social responsibility initiatives, the "M&I Europe Summer 2023" forum aims to provide a holistic experience for attendees while putting Cyprus on the global MICE map.
