The networking is about to start...

World Meetings Forum Vidanta - Riviera Nayarit 2018

Since 2013, this forum has positionated as an Event that gather the leaders of the MICE industry in one place with the objective of sharing information and trends

At the same time we offer a unique educational program, and open the business discussion with our successful Table Tops and Hosted Buyer program where suppliers and buyers have the chance to meet one on one to exchange information and needs.

The great biodiversity of flora and fauna inspire its idyllic landscapes, while the synergy of the sea and the mountain create the most welcoming climate, there is no better way to describe the incomparable warmth that characterizes Nuevo Vallarta.

One of the 23 micro-destinations that make up the set of coastal towns that have everything: culture, gastronomy, traditions, adventure, nature and history. Between Flamingos and Nuevo Vallarta they add up to 75% of the Riviera Nayarit hotel offer and both sum up to be the home of two-thirds of hotels and restaurants with 4 and 5 AAA Diamonds.
