What people say
"I had the pleasure of attending the Break The Ice Forum in Brussels recently, and I must say it was an incredibly enriching experience. The forum provided a fantastic opportunity to network with industry leaders, gain fresh insights into emerging trends, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of hospitality. The one-to-one meetings, though only 10 minutes long, provided the perfect timing to make a first acquaintance or reconnect with suppliers and invite a follow-up conversation in a more casual setting. The networking activities were varied and well organized. I would be happy to join again in future."
Mixing work with play doesn’t always work. However, the team from Break The Ice have got this down to a fine art. Getting the movers and shakers of the MICE industry from across Europe into interesting and varied destinations, a relaxed opening evening and networking session followed by a full morning of targeted meetings. The afternoon of networking continues with visits to local places of interest in small groups. Finally, a gala dinner, to finish 36 hours of intense and productive networking. The perfect mix of work and fun!
An energetic event program, where all of its parts blend together to perfection! Two days filled with engaging conversations and inspiring connections in truly unique settings.
On top of that, the BTI`s informal, intimate format makes it absolutely effortless to forge impactful collaborations.
Here’s to meaningful meetings and unforgettable experiences! 🥂
