What our clients say
“Fantastic experience! The event was exceptionally well organized and offered numerous opportunities to connect with high-quality accounts. The nature of the event – not overly large or crowded – made the experience more enjoyable. I’m already looking forward to the next edition!”
“I had the pleasure of joining Be Our Guest for the first time at the Fairmont Windsor and later hosting All About People in Monaco. Both experiences were fantastic — the quality of the buyers was outstanding, and the Fortuin family’s unique energy brings such a special, inspiring atmosphere to every event. I’m already looking forward to the next one next year!”
“The personal approach of DBF Events makes all the difference ! You always meet the right mix of new, potential business partners and familiar contacts, ensuring productive and enjoyable networking.
And let’s be honest, the appealing destinations don’t hurt either 😉”
“Attending a DBF event is an absolute must. The buyers I have met on every occasion are always of very high quality and with the right business for us. The mix of face to face appointments with the networking is done so well to really maximise time with every buyer, and I never fail to make strong connections with everyone and most importantly have fun.”
“Over the past ten years, it’s been a real pleasure to work with the wonderful team at DBF. Their very first All About People event was hosted at our hotel, and seeing how DBF Events has evolved since then has been truly impressive. Today, they are recognized as one of the leading and most trusted MICE buyer and supplier forums in the UK. Their creativity, professionalism and genuine passion for connecting people make every collaboration a real success — and it’s always a pleasure to work with such an inspiring team.”
“DBF – and particularly its All About People edition, has been a key event for Ibiza Gran Hotel for over a decade. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with top British partners in a professional yet relaxed environment, combining business, networking, and lots of fun.
The Supplier of the Year award, presented at All About People, has become one of the most coveted recognitions among hoteliers, and it would be a true honor to one day return to the Ibiza Gran Hotel offices holding that trophy. Thank you DBF family for having me every year. Love you guys.”
“ I think it has been the best events of this kind I have ever attended and this demonstrated how professional and dedicated you were…and it’s of course all about people! Everything was flawless from the quality of the buyers to the fantastic venue and great activities ”
“I just wanted to share my gratitude for the amazing experience that we had the past weekend in Porto. Everything went above and beyond. Thank you very much for looking after every detail. I was my first All About People and I wont be my last. For many more years !!!! ”
“Thank you so much for organizing such a great event this past weekend! It was a pleasure meeting everyone, and I really enjoyed the first “All About People” focused on the French markets. It was both productive and enjoyable.”
“It has been an allover great experience, starting with the location, continued by a great selection of buyers, and finished through a seamless and transparent organization/ planning throughout the days.”
“ I am very fortunate to meet the most inspiring, interesting and professional colleagues from the hospitality industry”… The amazing people, new relations and great meetings makes it all worth!
Thank you DBF Events for putting it all together and making it all happen – you are for sure all about people”
“And what an amazing group of people it was! Delightful discussions, inspiring connections, and good laughters throwout!
Thank you DBF Events for your amazing organisation, attention to details and making sure everyone has the best time – with you, it really is all about people! ”
“ I had the chance to connect with passionate French MICE agencies in a relaxed yet productive setting, perfect for building new relationships that could turn into future collaborations. A great opportunity to expand my network in the French market!
Un grand merci à tous les experts de l’événementiel pour ces échanges enrichissants – déjà hâte de voir ce que l’avenir nous réserve ! ”
“ I had the chance to attend to my first Be Our Guest event, at the Fairmont Windsor Park
A warm Merci to DBF Events Ltd for the perfect organization. We had a lovely day and evening, and we met precious new partners. You guys are an amazing team ! ”
“ It’s about the people. They are the heart of our industry. From those cycling through the pouring rain with me to the ones standing on stage, receiving well-deserved awards.
The connections made during one-on-one meetings, the conversations over a cup of coffee (or a beer) ; that’s what truly matters. ”
“ The forum where you always leave with a family feeling. I’ll say this every time: that feeling comes from the love within the organization itself. Our work is about the 25 meetings, the networking, and the memories we create together. But that’s what makes it even more special when you can bring that same warmth and connection into a work event…at the heart of it all, true to its name, it’s all about people. ”
Attending All About People has been an outstanding experience. The event is extremely well organized, with a vibrant atmosphere and a strong focus on quality connections. We’ve met highly relevant buyers and industry professionals, leading to new partnerships and exciting business opportunities. It’s truly one of the best business shows for building valuable relationships and growing our network.
