Our Story

Worldwide Events is the parent company behind two highly successful event brands: M&I and Private Luxury Events, each serving distinct sectors of the global travel and events industry.

Our brands connect the major players in both MICE and leisure travel through one-to-one meetings, inspirational social events, education, and destination discovery activities. Our suppliers and exhibitors are ground-breaking hotels, venues, and destinations in the events and hospitality industry who want to reach the world’s most respected event planners and travel designers.

We bring people together and facilitate strong relationships, connecting people on a human level first, business second. We call this H2H connection, and it is at the heart of everything we do.

At M&I we connect the global MICE industry through world-class events in the world’s best destinations, attracting key buyers and creating an atmosphere perfect for networking. This is where the most valuable business connections are made. We believe in the power of human-to-human connections to secure high-quality business.
