the future-ready MICE forum
launching October 2026, the Faroe Islands
the MICE industry’s first business marketplace built exclusively around responsible supply for high-end product
a curated forum for responsible travel suppliers and buyers committed to protecting the future of high-end business events.
We welcome:
→ buyers who see responsible sourcing and partnerships as essential — whether you are already embedding sustainability into procurement or actively refining how you operate.
→ suppliers and destinations who lead with verified action or transparent intent — including those independently certified by recognised sustainability bodies, or taking measurable steps to reduce harm and increase positive impact.
Expect:
→the marketplace: a curated one-to-one meeting marketplace of verified green vendors, key to help both suppliers and buyer operate responsibly.
→ our untold series: interactive, actionable and inspirational content from leaders in responsible tourism.
→ in-destination immersion: meaningful experiences that give back — from restoration projects to community-led sustainability initiatives.
Our approach:
→ for too long, sustainability in tourism has been driven by guilt and unrealistic expectations, often disconnected from how the travel trade actually works. we’re not here to play judge and jury.
→ done well, it’s an opportunity to build stronger businesses, deepen experiences, and protect the places and people we love.
→ we curate the room through clear criteria and structured questions, recognising certification where it exists and credible progress where it counts.

LAUNCHING
unearth Europe
Faroe Islands
7-10 October 2026
//
choosing a launch destination for unearth was never about finding a backdrop.
we looked for a place that would actively shape the quality of conversation. one where limits are acknowledged rather than disguised, and where long-term thinking carries real weight.
the Faroe Islands fit that brief in ways that quickly became impossible to ignore.
this is a destination that doesn’t optimise for volume. weather dictates plans. capacity is finite. decisions are made with longevity in mind, even when that complicates logistics.
for a forum focused on responsible supply, those conditions aren’t inconvenient. they’re instructive. and they set the tone for the kind of gathering unearth is designed to be.

designed to bring together the leaders redefining what responsible travel really means, not as an obligation, but as our greatest opportunity.
//
this inaugural event will bring together a curated group of up to 40 high-calibre agency, corporate and independent MICE buyers alongside sustainably-minded global travel suppliers.
expect premium experiential properties, DMCs, transport partners, and destinations actively shaping a more regenerative travel model.
together with leading responsible brands and sustainability innovators, we aim to accelerate the shift toward a more regenerative travel industry.
the Faroe Islands exemplify this vision — not as followers, but as pioneers showing the world how responsible tourism can work in practice.
