| We held a successful activation at IMEX Frankfurt this month. In January, just two MMGY Global colleagues were going; by May, we had 10 employees in attendance. This is a great example of how client confidence in business events is coming back. |
|
|
|
| Whilst at IMEX Frankfurt, Cees Bosselaar presented the findings of MMGY Global’s Portrait of European Meetings & Convention Travel during a panel discussion with the GCB, NBTC and Destination Canada. The study highlights the profound differences between European meeting planners’ and attendees’ outlooks of the meetings and events industry coming out of the pandemic. |

| On 26th May, Isabelle Thomas, Samantha Martini and Charlie Wareing launched Coppa Club's new terrace at Tower Bridge to the UK media. The launch party was inspired by the French Riviera. With over 50 journalists and influencers in attendance, a partnership with Minuty Rosé and a boomerang booth, the event was a great success and a great way to welcome in the start of summer with gorgeous views of The Shard. |
|
|
 |
| Emma Morgan and Laura Sayce jetted off to Toronto to attend Rendezvous on behalf of Destination Ontario and Bonjour Quebec. It was a great show and had a huge turnout from the UK trade with a whopping 41-plus in-person buyers from the UK. |

 |
| Showing off our incredibly creative team, Lara Good, Charlotte Winter, Nicole Trakkas, Bee Allmen and Georgia Harris devised a brilliant news story for ME London for the Jubilee: bring a corgi and stay for free! Not only did this idea help Grifco win the account in 2021 but it also resulted in incredible coverage across national and glossy titles for the celebratory bank holiday weekend! Well done, team. |

| Pictured! Rachel Wilkinson hosting @kelseyinlondon, @hellomissjordan, @jessmsheppard, @iamkristabel and @leeshbrock on the first group influencer trip to Mauritius as the island reopens to international tourists. From swimming in waterfalls to sunrise kayaking, the group showcased the best Mauritius has to offer to a combined Instagram and TikTok following of over 850,000. The trip supported MTPA's “Mauritius Now” campaign. |

| We had our first netball match this month. It was a lot of fun and everyone is keen for a second game. If you would like to join for future games and are not already part of the netball chat group, please let Flora Beaumont know. |

| We're jealous of Robyn Holberry's group press trip enjoying drinks by Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como. |

| Another incredible trip to Saudi – this time hosting Match Hospitality in an effort to ensure Saudi is taken on as one of Match's satellite destinations during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year. Of course we had to travel in style. |
