The Home of Luxury MICE

The marketplace for the high-end incentive and luxury meetings sector.

 

Meet the best selection of pre-qualified buyers. Anywhere.

Global Meeting & Incentive Travel Exchange (GMITE) is the MICE industry's leading one-to-one event, intentionally designed for high-end incentive travel and luxury meeting planners. GMITE offers unparalleled networking opportunities, designed to foster relationships and drive business growth.

Building on decades of legacy leadership in the MICE industry, GMITE is bridging the luxury leisure and meetings & incentive market by connecting planners with the world's most distinguished suppliers – high end hotels, DMCs and luxury destinations.

Tailored Connections

GMITE recruits only the most qualified meeting planners and incentive travel buyers via a rigorous vetting process. 

Select who you want to meet using our appointment system, spend 15 minutes of uninterrupted time at each meeting, and pack six months of business into just two days.

High-Touch Networking

Business focused, one-to-one appointments by day and casual networking functions by night result in lasting connections. 

With curated receptions and dedicate networking blocks, participants gain direct access to every corner of the luxury and group travel ecosystem.

Resort-MICE

GMITE is co-located with the ULTRA Summit at the luxurious AVA Resort Cancun, bridging the luxury leisure and meetings & incentive market. 

Luxury travel advisors and high-end MICE planners are united under one roof for unprecedent cross-sector collaboration.

Bridging the Luxury Leisure and the Meetings & Incentive Market

GMITE is co-located with Luxury Travel Advisor's ULTRA Summit, the meeting place for the most opulent, ultra-luxury suppliers in the world.

Research shows a growing convergence between MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and leisure travel, driven by shifts in traveler preferences and the rise of 'bleisure' travel (business and leisure combined).

By consolidating these two dynamic segments into one, luxury-focused event with GMITE and ULTRA, we are fostering collaboration, creating efficiencies, and offering our audience a competitive advantage in this rapidly changing landscape.

Networking, Reimagined in a World-Class Destination

This is where MICE intersects with leisure travel, bringing business out of the office and into the luxury resort experience of AVA Cancun. The venue that inspires a high-net-worth family holiday is now equally suited to a C-suite retreat. 

GMITE combines a forum of one-to-one meetings with great networking activities for the perfect combination to promote business relationships. Networking takes place both within the resort and at carefully selected offsite locations, intentionally designed to inspire meaningful connection and immerse attendees in a sought-after, luxury travel destination first-hand.
