34th Edition
11–13 November 2026
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Updated in real time
Widespread event
The MICE Trade Show takes place in some of the most exclusive locations around Piazza San Marco, in the heart of Venice’s historic center, following the “Widespread Meetings” format. This approach allows B2B meetings to be held in prestigious, yet more intimate and relaxed settings, fostering deeper interaction between buyers and operators. The meeting sessions are held simultaneously across the event’s venues, while the evenings are organized in spacious and captivating settings, providing the perfect environment for networking.
Work venues
Work will be conducted in parallel in venues located around St Mark’s Square.
Operators will remain in the same venue, while buyers will alternate between venues in half-day sessions.
Allocation of desks
Desks will be allocated to operators in the various venues according to the composition of their diaries and will only be decided once these have been finalised and communicated a few days before the event.

Paperless policy
To protect the environment and as a health precaution, all our events are paperless:
Appointments diaries, the programme, the catalogue and supplier profiles are digitised and available for your PC or smartphone, by downloading the “Eureka MICE” app, which you will be able to access with the same login details as used for your reserved area.
N.B.: Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with this technology!
We know that the digitisation process needs time before it truly comes of age. For this reason, in parallel with the digital system, we supply traditional supports, all strictly made of 100% recyclable material.
The ID badge, required to access activities, venues and evenings, will be available at the registration desk.
"Eureka EventHub" APP
How to download it and how it works
The APP will be downloadable from early November free of charge from Apple Store and Play Store.
Its use is intuitive; once you have entered your access credentials, you will be just a click away from various functions and the possibility of immediately viewing useful information related to the event.
