WE FOCUS ON PEOPLE
Discover Break the Ice Forum: where business meets family. This exclusive B2B event for the Meeting, Incentive, Conference, and Event sector spans two days and two nights, fostering a high-quality network and nurturing genuine connections. Immerse yourself in an authentic business environment that feels like home, where you can forge meaningful relationships with top-level industry peers. Join us for a unique experience that blends professional opportunities with a familial touch.
01. Family-sized forum
We are convinced that small groups foster an environment for magical moments to occur. 40 to 60 Buyers break the ice with the same amount of Suppliers. By staying at the same hotel, individuals have the chance to genuinely connect through one-to-one meetings, team-building activities, networking dinners, and lively parties!
02. Pre-scheduled meetings
As seasoned professionals in the Hospitality and MICE industry, we have gained insight into your requirements and are equipped to meet them. Allow us to handle the details while you unwind. On Friday morning, we have organized one-to-one meetings with the top buyers/suppliers for you. This will be followed by opportunities to build meaningful connections over lunch, activities, dinners, and an after-party, where you'll get to mingle with everyone.
03. Sustainable
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world" said Gandhi! We want to contribute to projects that have a lasting & positive impact on the destinations where the forums occur. Whenever possible we try to propose sustainable activities on Friday afternoon!
The activity is always kept secret till the very last moment!
A Short & Effective Stay
FORUM SCHEDULE
We offer you a commitment. With Break the Ice, it only takes 2 nights & 1 day to create strong bonds and new lasting business relationships. Plus good food (= good mood) and good drinks (= lots of fun).
You will be back home Saturday afternoon, tired (maybe) but surely happy and motivated to start a new week at work.
