02 Feb - 04 Feb 2020, Vienna, Austria
InterContinental Vienna

The highly successful MICE business forum series, the MCE Central and Eastern Europe, is organised by Europe Congress for the 10th consecutive year. Building on Central and Eastern Europe’s MICE business potential, this unique forum brings together buyers from all over the world with high quality solution providers from the region. DMCs, PCOs, event management companies, convention bureaus, hotels, airlines from participating Central and Eastern European countries meet up with carefully selected, qualified and pre-screened buyers.

MCE Central and Eastern Europe is offering the advantage of bringing high potential business partners together in a very comfortable, well organized event venue. All business counterparts meet face-to-face in pre-organised, match-made meetings but also have the opportunity to spend time together in really getting to know eachother, as can only happen in this boutique format event. This boutique MICE B2B forum offers the perfect mix of pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings, educational sessions presented by industry opinion leaders, plenty of networking opportunities and social events. It will be your best investment - as many of our previous and returning participants say – into finding new business opportunities and partners.
