M&I Private
Where timeless character meets travel’s most carefully curated community
UK & EU buyers
October 2027Where a timeless setting meets the travel industry’s most curated community
M&I Private is the most selective event in the M&I portfolio. Every buyer is carefully verified, every supplier is handpicked and every meeting is arranged in advance, creating an environment where relevance, not volume, drives results.
Bringing together independent properties and character-led venues with hosted buyers actively sourcing distinctive venues and experiences, M&I Private is designed around a simple principle: more selectivity, better fit. The result is a highly focused forum where meaningful introductions become stronger partnerships and commercial opportunities move forward with confidence.
This event is for you if...
...you want every meeting to start closer to an RFP
Meet carefully verified buyers with active sourcing requirements, creating conversations built around genuine opportunities rather than future possibilities.
...you value relevance over reach
Every appointment is arranged around mutual fit, ensuring your time is spent with buyers who are more likely to progress, not simply browse.
...you operate where quality matters more than quantity
M&I Private is deliberately selective on both sides. Fewer suppliers competing for attention creates greater visibility among buyers actively seeking distinctive solutions.
...you want buyers to leave with confidence, not just awareness
A curated supplier mix allows buyers to compare options more meaningfully, helping conversations progress from discovery to shortlists, proposals and RFPs.
...you want your story to land with the right buyers
M&I Private creates space for independent and character-led suppliers to be understood by hosted buyers actively sourcing boutique hotels, independent properties and character-led venues.
