MPI Announces Istanbul Türkiye as the Host City for EMEC 2025

European Meetings & Events Conference Returns to Türkiye for the First Time Since 2014

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –

In addition to serving as the largest global MICE association, MPI also boasts the industry’s largest EMEA presence with 1,000 members and 10 Chapters and Clubs. Now in its 37th year, EMEC brings together 300-400 global MICE professionals within a format that has received multiple awards, including recognition by BEA and a Gouden Giraffe. 

Paul Van Deventer, President and CEO of MPI, emphasized the importance of this return to Istanbul, commenting that “EMEC has long been a cornerstone for the global events community, fostering professional development through innovation, learning and connections. Returning to Istanbul after more than a decade is not only a testament to the city’s enduring appeal but also a clear indicator of the excitement and popularity surrounding this iconic destination. Istanbul offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity that resonates with our international audience, and we are thrilled to bring EMEC back to this vibrant city.” 

EMEC is designed with three primary tenets at its core: to serve as an idea incubator for the global MICE community, designed by Europeans for Europeans and to carry a strong reflection of the host destination – its culture, history and heritage. 

İsmail Bütün, General Manager of the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA) echoed Van Deventer’s sentiments, underscoring the impact EMEC will have on their global MICE presence. “Hosting EMEC 2025 is a monumental opportunity for Türkiye to showcase its position on the global MICE stage. Istanbul has a proven track record of hosting large-scale international events, and EMEC’s return highlights our commitment to growing and evolving as a premier destination for meetings and events professionals.” 

As MPI continues to expand the reach of EMEC, the organization is also pleased to announce that it will soon be releasing a request for proposals (RFP) for the 2026 and 2027 host destinations. With the bar set high for EMEC Türkiye in 2025, MPI invites destinations from around EMEA to apply and showcase their ability to host this prestigious conference.
