Our personal advice to better approach the meetings
Advice during the meetings to better promote commercial activities and tips to improve the One-to-One appointments.
Professional experience
This is neither a traditional trade fair nor an exhibition. It is a professional experience in a private and exclusive space, designed to generate results and strengthen business opportunities in the MICE sector.
All-inclusive on board
All-inclusive on board: accommodation, gastronomy for all participants, and moreover, exclusive experiences for buyers at each destination. What is not included: only the flights or transportation to the port of call and the return transportation afterwards.
Unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience in a professional, relaxed, and completely private setting, ideal for building strong and lasting business relationships in an exclusive format that guarantees a better relationship between Buyer and Supplier on board (50/50). And places for suppliers from the entire Mediterranean basin are very limited. Event created by MICE experts for MICE experts: we know the business well and highly value your time.
Buyers’ contacts
The complete list of buyers’ contacts will be delivered at the end of the trip in a private digital space (MyPlace), where you will be able to access videos, photos, the directory of attendees, the programme and all the necessary materials to ensure your actions are successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all expenses on board covered?
Yes, the organization covers accommodation, gastronomy, and onboard experiences expenses for suppliers and buyers. Buyers will take part in exclusive experiences at each destination during the hours they are not on board the ship.
Why American and European buyers?
Global MICE Forums has been a leader since 2011 in the professional meeting sector in Spain and Portugal, thanks to the rigorous selection of buyers based on their turnover, decision-making power, and interest in the geographical points they visit. At GMF Mediterranean On Board, you will find buyers with a legitimate interest in the geographical areas covered by this Mediterranean circuit.
How many meetings does GMF guarantee on board?
The number of One-to-One meetings you get on each chosen circuit may vary depending on many factors, but the organization guarantees you between 14 and 24 on circuit 2 and between 24 and 34 on circuit 1. However, of course, you will be able to interact with all buyers on board during the many common activities and in the private areas of the ship, reserved exclusively for you and your conversations.
Do the meetings at Global MICE Forums provide a good return on investment compared to other business generation activities?
Participant satisfaction rates, historically above 85%, and supplier retention rates above 80%, reveal that activities like these allow the majority of companies that have trusted us to save effort, time, and money. By gathering in the same space (on a ship and across a Mediterranean circuit), you can access a set of buyers with a potential hard to match, which is almost impossible to find at the same time and place. In the case of GMF On Board, you meet buyers with multiple interests and strong investment capacity throughout the Mediterranean geographical area.
Is it worthwhile for me if I am a small local supplier with a limited budget?
Of course, yes. If you do not wish to board and spend several days with the buyers, you can meet them for a few hours at the destination port closest to your company. This modality, called “Destination Showcase,” involves gathering all potential clients who visit a local trade show at your stand, at your location, to discuss with them in a more relaxed way than at a sector trade fair.
What happens afterwards to the participants’ information and data?
Global MICE Forums provides you with a personalized digital space, GMF MyPlace, where the most important documents and content from each edition are stored: participant directories, videos, presentations, photo albums, etc., forever and so that you can consult them whenever needed.
