FORWARD_MAD
Madrid will host, in October 2021, the second edition of this global travel industry event: Forward_MAD. The Spanish capital is a symbol of the transforming power of quality tourism, is an urban destination acknowledged around the world thanks to its history, its cultural heritage, its gastronomy, its endless opportunities for leisure and its commitment to adopt a sustainable model for the city.
> Program and Activities
Each Forward_ edition will have four areas that will be interpreted according to the local nuances and features of each host country. These are the movable parts:
· FORWARD_MINDS: The brightest and most innovative local minds in travel and related sectors will lead a Think Tank aimed at addressing tourism challenges and designing traceable roadmaps to raise global tourism offerings and host destinations.
· FORWARD_STAGE: Inspiration is the engine of the central stage of Forward_MAD, that will host talks, keynotes and executives interviews before the eyes of professionals from various sectors and investment capital. This will be the bridge that will help to transform ideas into business opportunities.
· THE PLAYGROUND: This space will be devoted to open innovation, by fostering organic, spontaneous and direct conversations among attendees to encourage them to discover products and services, explore new businesses and tools, as well as potential partners and suppliers.
· EXPLORE THE CITY: The host destination will design, along with the organization, unique and personalized activities, so that attendees will be able to discover what makes the city that hosts Forward_ special and unique.
Forward_MAD will feature its own unique and particular view, with a series of keynotes, activities and areas that will amaze, surprise and encourage conversation, discovery and fun.
Forward_MAD
Forward_MAD is the event you have always wanted to attend: practical, thorough, significant, fun, surprising… And not only for its new formats, but also for the opportunities to find common interests among professionals from different places in the world, in a casual setting yet with the objective of facilitating a personal connection, and by extension, a close connection with your business.
REDEFINING EXCLUSIVE TOURISM
Understand how luxury has changed as a concept, as a product and as the starting point to recreate travel experiences – from inspiration to planning, in destination activities and the return home. At Forward_MAD we will see, from the experience of C-Level professionals and experts from different segments, how luxury has become a statement about individuality, and how all brands and destinations explore the most effective paths to lining up their proposal of value with travelers’ aspirations and needs.
A VISION OF THE BUSINESS
Forward_MAD will recreate a common vision about exclusive and high quality travel and will lay on the groundwork to turn ideas into business opportunities, instilling professional and business synergies, open innovation and cooperation. More ideas, more revenue and more growth.
FROM NETWORKING TO THE COMMUNITY
We want you to stop looking at what’s happening onstage and that you start looking around you, at whomever is seated next to you. Each section of Forward_MAD will be designed to accomplish it. You will not have a calendar full of meetings but, instead, full of open and relaxed spaces that spur conversation in a natural and spontaneous way, as well as ideas and inspirations.
HOW TO BE
PART OF IT?
All sponsors will feature, as a trade-off, their logo on all pages of the event website, except for the Home Page and on the partnerships section of the App and Web. Also, you will have free access invitations for members of your company and registration invitations for those companies or partners that you may deem should be part of the community.
