We want our delegates to find immense joy and satisfaction throughout the TMS experience!
Our reputation for integrity and excellence guides our team to exceed expectations at every single forum and to remain leaders in their field.
History
Since our first forum in Berlin, February 2013, we have worked hard to retain our premier position. Over 10 years and 25+ forums we’ve held consistently inspiring 1-2-1 MICE forums in some of the most fascinating destinations across Europe, always seeking out what is new. In Spring 2020 we held our first forum in the Middle East and in 2024, we added a new luxury forum which brings North American MICE buyers in to EMEA.
Values
Our aims remain crystal clear:
To inspire senior buyers
To provide new business opportunities for suppliers
To provide the best possible ROI on time and budgets
To share an enjoyable, unforgettable experience

We absolutely love what we do, working closely with some of the most respected consultants in the business.
