There will also be a special session detailing the journey to the mia’s new brand.
Day two of the show will see the mia host its annual Breakfast Briefing, starting at 8am in ExCeL London’s Platinum Suite. It will also be a first for the association as it launches its live member miaMeets.
Open to all mia members, attendees will be welcomed by Jack Marczewski, Portfolio Event Director of The Meetings Show, who will share updates on the 2024 edition and plans for future exhibitions.

Speaking with our stand exhibitors and partners there are already a high number of valuable meetings scheduled to take place, so we’re all looking forward to what will be a highly engaging and productive couple of days.
