Hello!
Iberian MICE Forums was born in January 2011, founded by two enthusiastic professionals in the tourism industry: Ana Candel, a destination manager based in the Balearic Islands, and Andrés Merino, former Sales and Marketing Director for various luxury hotels and hotel groups. Both have more than 15 years of experience in the Meetings and Events industry.
In 2022, the company was rebranded as Global MICE Forums to better reflect an expansion strategy based on stable growth while remaining true to us and our values.
Andrés Merino
Graduate in Tourism, with a postgraduate degree in Business Administration, including legal training.
His multidisciplinary education, interest in international affairs, and dynamic character led him to enter the tourism sector.
From the beginning, he specialized in MICE, initially as a group coordinator at a DMC, and later dedicating the next eight years to Sales and Marketing in the hotel sector. Notably, he served as the Commercial Director from the opening of the luxurious Blau Porto Petro Resort in Mallorca, and his last position was Corporate Director of M&I at Iberostar Hotels & Resorts.
