How did it all start?
Our journey began in 2000, when three people from different professional backgrounds and cultures decided to embark on a new adventure. Between “ni hao,” “hola,” and “bonjour,” Grupo eventoplus was born as a media group specialised in the MICE industry in Spain.
It was not an easy start. We began our online platform, eventoplus.com, at the time where the dot-com bubble burst. That uncertainty forced us to rethink how to build the company and move forward with a solid operational plan. The first contacts with industry professionals were key to defining our approach and understanding something fundamental: beyond the different business segments, there was a common point that united them all.
That’s how we began to shape a clear and shared idea: the professional meetings market.
Since then, the world has been like a roller coaster without a seatbelt. We have gone through the 2008 financial crisis, the euro crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the global economy to a halt. Meanwhile, technology advanced at full speed: the Internet became essential, we threw out the fax machine, and smartphones and social media completely transformed the way we get information and work.
Today we face a new challenge: generative artificial intelligence, which calls into question what it means to work, create, and communicate. In an increasingly multipolar world, we bite the bullet and continue our work of accompanying and supporting our beloved industry.
And you know what? We're still as excited about it as we were on day one.
With sweat, tears, lots of coffee, and a few beers, supported by the friendship and backing of those who follow us, we remain unstoppable!
Our mission? To connect meeting and event professionals and provide value through the best information and knowledge.
Our vision? To professionalise the industry and create strong networks, capable of delivering the best events.
