Industry veteran launches new networking events firm

Monday, 25 Mar, 2022 0

Events industry stalwart Micaela Giacobbe has launched a new networking events concept called Journeys.global.

Journeys.global operates in all sectors, offering bespoke events in person, and online for any number of delegates (from 5 to 50,000people).

Journeys.global draws on Micaela’s more than 25 years’ at the forefront of the events industry.

She spent more than 14 years at Reed Exhibitions running marketing and communications for its largest and most profitable event – WTM London.

Micaela oversaw massive participation and exhibitor growth with the event topping more than 50,000 delegates and 5,000 exhibitors.

She introduced the pioneering WTM Speed Networking, which overhauled the traditional exhibiting module with buyers hosting a table and exhibitors queuing to talk to them.

WTM Speed Networking led to a huge increase in business deals conducted due to WTM London.

Micaela also started the global expansion of the WTM brand with the launch of WTM Latin America.

In 2014, she joined Jacobs Media Group to launch her own events business in the luxury travel sector – Connections.

She hosted more than 50 events around the world.

Furthermore, she ran many highly successful online events during the covid-pandemic.

The new company also caters for keynotes, content sessions, team building, training, and consultancy.

“Journeys.global has a pioneering, networking concept that combines cutting edge, proven tools and techniques to encourage the best interactions between attendees to help achieve results,” Giacobbe says.
