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.

The “Un-Corporate” Meeting

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

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

Co-located with the Ultra Summit at the luxurious AVA Resort Cancun, GMITE bridges the luxury leisure and meetings & incentive market. 

MICE Meets Leisure

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 beyond the boardroom and into the luxury resort experience of AVA Cancun. Networking takes place both within the resort and at curate offsite locations, carefully selected to inspire meaningful connection and immerse attendees in a luxury resort destination first-hand.
