What people say
Break the Ice Forum is an exceptional platform for networking and building valuable connections within the MICE industry. It offers the perfect blend of meeting new partners and reconnecting with long - standing clients, all while discovering exciting destin ations. As one of the very first suppliers to join this inspiring initiative, we are proud to be recognized as a trusted partner. Hosting the May 2023 edition at InterContinental Vienna was a true pleasure — bringing industry leaders together in the heart of Vienna made the event unforgettable. We look forward to many more successful collaborations !
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!
I have been attending the Break the Ice forums since many years. I love the intimacy of these forums and great connections between everyone, the selection of buyers is carried out with great care and adapted as best as possible to the needs of the suppliers. There is a very good balance of buyers and suppliers. I highly recommend these forums
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! 🥂
"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."
"With our forum in Augsburg, we had the opportunity to put both the destination and our 5-star superior hotel on the map. As a "B" destination, it’s often difficult to compete with the major spots, but cities like Augsburg, which are well connected to airports and train stations, offer real hidden gems and are often more affordable.
Through the forum, we were able to shine not only as a destination but also to establish lasting connections and gain a new client, which makes us very happy and justifies the investment. I love making connections and bringing people together to celebrate success. One compliment from a buyer stands out in my memory: “You’re the diamond I’ve been searching for!” – a moment that shows our efforts are truly paying off.
Big hug from Augsburg ❤"
