micebook 2024 review and what’s in store for 2025

With the festive season in full swing, and the new year fast approaching, now is the perfect time to reflect on the past year, thank our wonderful community for all your support, and give you a sneak preview of what we have in store for 2025!

Let’s start with our year in numbers…

21,000 miles travelled to experience Australia NEXT which took place in Cairns with a post FAM to Sydney

47 buyers and suppliers travelled to Paris via Eurostar (which saves around 90% carbon emissions compared to flying)

400 story tellers celebrated the industry’s best teams and events at the micebook awards at The Landmark London

22 agency leaders dinned in the MACH II private dining room at The Peninsula Hotels London

50 luxury event specialists gathered to discuss responsible luxury at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, A Belmond Hotel , for our inaugural micebook LUXE event.
