ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Iberian MICE Forums team would like to say a very warm THANK YOU to all buyers and suppliers for trusting us and for attending the XIV Edition of the Iberian MICE Forums in Porto. We would also like to express our most sincere gratitude to the Porto Convention Bureau who sponsored a fabulous dinner at Alfândega do Porto and a very nice Post-tour for some of the hosted buyers, showing them the secrets & venues from their destination and of course to the Porto Palacio Congress Hotel & Spa, as well as the DMC and other services partners who made part of our special program during the event: AIM Group International and doc specialized in Wine and Gastronomic events. Without their generosity and support this event would not have been possible. We hope these networking days were inspiring and will encourage you to do business in any of the amazing destinations in Spain and Portugal very soon!

Dear Ana and Andrés, this is a quick note to thank you for inviting me to the Iberian forum and for the great organization of it. It was a real pleasure to meet with you first, and to get to meet all the suppliers. A majority of them were of great interest for what we do and I trust that some of the venues will benefit of some of our groups as I was positively impressed with several Portugal and south Spain’s new products. I trust all agree that Ana, Andrés and the Porto CVB Team did a wonderful job with hosting us and get us to know the wonderful destination of Porto better and through a new and different angle – at least I did appreciate it very much! I look forward to be in touch with you soon…

J’ai beaucoup apprécié le workshop et la découverte de Porto et je remercie toute l’équipe pour l’organisation parfaite. Le charme de Porto et la beauté de ses environs sans compter la Valle de Douro qui présente un intérêt exceptionnel ne pourront que séduire mes clients.Je vais leur proposer un programme, il faut souvent faire du push…

Iberian Mice Forums allow us to showcase the variety of posibilities that Spain and Portugal offer for events: Sun, gastronomy, history and professionals. Buyers can focus on only one region and find out great ideas.
