Connections, a division of London-headquartered Travel Weekly Group, has launched Connections Meetings for the global meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (Mice) sector.
The inaugural event takes place from December 9 to 12 in Portugal. Delegates begin their experience at the Hilton Doubletree in Lisbon before a private train transfer to the Conrad Algarve. Connections Meetings brings together an exclusive invite-only group of senior Mice buyers, planners and suppliers from across the global sector. In keeping with the Connections philosophy, the meetings’ programmes are designed to create memorable shared experiences that lead to long-lasting business relationships. Micaela Giacobbe, founder of Connections and director of commercial events, says: 'All events organised under the Connections brand share one common goal: to provide a platform for buyers and sellers to bond with each other by participating in a range of shared activities and experiences. 'The Connections Meetings programme will be focused heavily on learning how to design and deliver the best possible meetings and events. We want our exclusive delegation to leave events equipped to implement change and improve the way they conduct business. And we will be leading by example.'
