MICE-Connection Limited Edition, 2023
Last year, our team conducted the first of its kind industry off-site workshop in Gelendzhik. You can see how it went on our social media.
While planning the workshop for 2023, we relied on feedback from participants, and we thought it would be hard to top our previous experience. However, this year we've raised the bar even higher. Just take a look:
- A new location – Silk Road Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
- A new event program – 4 days (and as a little secret, one day will be dedicated to Samarkand, because how could you visit an ancient city and not see the Registan?).

THE FIRST OFFSITE WORKSHOP: HOW WAS IT?
When planning the MC Limited Edition, our main goal was to provide maximum comfort to each participant without compromising the business aspect of the event.
After receiving feedback, we realized that the outcome was even better than we had anticipated. Throughout the event, the service was of a high standard, and immediately after the workshop, the exhibitors received requests for additional events. You can find photos in the "Photo & video" tab.
The workshop format has undoubtedly proven its effectiveness. We plan to hold these workshops regularly, continuously improving and incorporating new features.
No one can replicate what we achieved. Not even our own team; we will make it even better!

NEW LOCATION FOR MICE-CONNECTION 2020
The legendary Moscow hotel "Ukraina" (now known as the "Radisson Collection Hotel, Moscow" since 2019) is an acknowledged architectural symbol and one of the best five-star hotels in the capital, having received numerous awards in the tourism sector. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the hotel served as the headquarters for the International Federation of FIFA, which stands as a testament to its high-quality service and international recognition.
The "Radisson Collection Hotel, Moscow" boasts an enviable infrastructure: the hotel complex features 500 exquisitely equipped rooms and suites, 19 trendy restaurants and bars, 26 boutiques, 16 meeting and event halls, a 50-meter swimming pool, jacuzzis and saunas, a large fitness center with innovative exercise equipment, and beauty salons.
In addition to its five-star service, the hotel is renowned for its remarkable collection of artistic rarities, which includes over 1,200 authentic paintings by Russian artists, 57 sculptures from the Soviet era, the picturesque ceiling mural "Celebration of Labor and Harvest in Bread-Giving Ukraine" located in the central hall, and a unique animated diorama of Moscow from 1977.
Among the sought-after services of the hotel are the Congress Park with its unique features and a multi-level underground parking facility, where hotel guests, restaurant visitors, and business travelers can park their vehicles under notably favorable conditions for the capital. Just 50 meters away from the hotel, on the Moskva River, is the "Radisson Royal" fleet, which consists of 10 large yachts operating year-round and 10 convertible trams.
But the hotel's greatest asset is its guests! Over 1,000 staff members are dedicated 24/7, 365 days a year, to one singular goal: to provide guests with a five-star experience and a feeling of home away from home.
Address: 121248, Russia, Moscow, Kutuzovsky Prospekt, 2/1, Building 1.
Anastasia Sedova,
TUI Company
"Recently, much to my regret, the concept of an 'exhibition' has become synonymous with 'party.' The business aspect has taken a back seat, and professional communications and negotiations have been reduced to informal conversations with colleagues at 'social gatherings.' It is no surprise that attendance at such events has sharply declined—after all, those who are truly focused on their work feel they cannot afford to waste time on questionable events. What we really need is a format that provides genuine benefits, development, and growth!"
Polina Akimova,
Soglasie Insurance Company
"We regularly organize events and know how to do this effectively and professionally. Therefore, when communicating with agencies and MICE partners, I want to say: 'Dear professional colleagues, please organize a high-quality event for us!' Listen to our requests and wishes. Provide us with what is important to us, what we value. Make it so that our participation in the event leaves us not only with a stack of brochures and disposable corporate souvenirs, but also with useful knowledge, valuable contacts, and the discovery of new places on the map of our shared travels! Based on my experience working with the organizers of this exhibition, I am confident they will succeed!
Svetlana Koroleva,
KIA Company
"I know from my own experience that holding a responsible position means constantly lacking time and having days scheduled down to the minute. As a result, there is simply not enough time to attend specialized exhibitions abroad, which are so crucial in our industry. The MICE sector, more than any other, requires us to 'keep our finger on the pulse' and maintain a broad perspective. It would be fantastic to acquire quality contacts and stay updated on global news and trends without having to leave Moscow!"
