About the event:

In February 2026, Lima will be the stage where alliances shaping the future of the industry in the region are forged.

In a world where strategic decisions are built face to face, Lima is preparing to become a major hub for the meetings industry in the region. From February 2 to 4, the Peruvian capital will host World Meetings Forum Connections Lima 2026, one of the most relevant international gatherings within the MICE segment (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions).

JW Marriott Lima will host 60 key industry players—32 highly qualified international buyers from Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, alongside 30 leading exhibitors from Peru’s MICE supply chain. Participants will also include companies from Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, and Iquitos, as well as the convention bureaus of these cities. The event is designed to generate real business and long-term relationships, with an estimated USD 3 million in business opportunities.

A forum where every meeting counts

Backed by its membership in the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), the World Meetings Forum (WMF) has established itself as one of the most effective platforms in the meetings industry. Its clear differentiator lies in a one-to-one, pre-scheduled meeting format that directly connects international buyers with professional suppliers, optimizing time and maximizing the value of every interaction.

Connection: More than networking

The Lima 2026 edition is developed under the concept “Connection”, a proposal that goes beyond commercial exchange. The event is conceived as a comprehensive experience aimed at building meaningful relationships from the very first interaction.

Over three days, participants will take part in a curated agenda that combines:

- High-level business meetings
- Strategic networking spaces
- Social and integration activities
- Specialized academic content
- Wellness experiences

This approach responds to a new vision of corporate tourism: creating value through trust, experience, and shared knowledge.
