Serving the Sports and Events Travel Industry

Sports & Events World is a B2B event series for sports travel and MICE professionals. In Europe, America and Türkiye, qualified hosted buyers meet destinations, hotels, venues, DMCs and service providers in pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, and the conversation continues at dinners and sports and cultural activities.

From Valencia 2023 to three continents.

Born in March 2023 in Valencia with one premise: sports travel and MICE needed a dedicated B2B meeting space. A structured workshop where qualified Buyers and Suppliers could sit down, face to face, and do real business.

Five sold-out European editions later — Valencia, Costa Brava, Mallorca, Málaga, Sevilla — the event grew from a regional experiment into the undisputed reference for sports travel in Europe. Sevilla 2026 set the bar: 650+ attendees, 254 Suppliers, 47 countries and 7,000+ pre-arranged 1-to-1 meetings in three days.

In 2026 the expansion goes global. S&E Türkiye launched in Antalya, opening the Mediterranean and MENA markets. S&E America arrives in Kissimmee, Florida in November 2026, reaching the Americas for the first time. Three editions a year, three continents, one community — connected by the same proven matchmaking system, the same curated Buyer programme and the same team.
In March 2027, the 6th European edition returns to Feria de Valencia — venue of the 32nd America’s Cup. The story comes full circle.

The formula hasn’t changed: a rigorously curated community, a proven matchmaking system and three days designed to generate business — not noise.

What five editions have taught us.

Buyer Quality

The repeat rate tells the story

A significant share of Buyers who attended their first edition have returned to subsequent ones. In B2B events, repeat attendance is the clearest signal of genuine value. If the meetings did not generate results, they would not come back.
Format Consistency

The majority of Suppliers rebook

Most Suppliers who attend one edition confirm their participation in the next before the event is over. That decision is made on the floor, after seeing the quality of Buyers in the room — not based on a sales pitch.

Geographic Reach

From Spain to three continents in three years

What started as a Spanish-focused event now attracts professionals from 47 countries. International agencies and organisations with real purchasing power — not local contacts filling seats.
Event Growth

Every edition has been larger than the last

From the inaugural edition in 2023 to the record-breaking fifth in Sevilla 2026, every metric has grown consistently: attendees, Supplier companies, countries represented, meetings registered. No edition has reversed that trend.
The Format

No booths. No cold approaches. No wasted time.

Every meeting at Sports & Events is pre-arranged, confirmed and on your agenda before you arrive. No inefficiency, no chance encounters — just focused, bilateral conversations between people who already know why they’re sitting together.
Industry Recognition

The reference event for sports travel professionals

Sports & Events World is cited by industry associations, recommended by attendees and referenced in sector media as the defining B2B event for the sports travel and MICE market. That reputation was earned through consistent delivery, not marketing.
