The 2020 edition took place in Seville and this year it’s Brighton’s time to host. This is the second time EMEC takes place in the UK, the last time being in 2008 in London.
Brighton’s vibrant streets will be crowded with MICE professionals from the 21st to the 23rd of February 2021. We can only expect the extraordinary in such an exciting city that is full of colourful street art, fun activities and photogenic scenery. The event will take place on the Brighton seafront, at the Hilton Brighton Metropole.
