MICE Express travelling venue makes first trip to Kassia
The MICE Express is an exclusive train service that provides a form-fitting, inspiring environment for business events, while combining all the benefits of a professional venue with the special charm of travel.
HotelPremio Group’s unique concept debuted on 25 March 2025 at a workshop for Slovakia.Travel on the Budapest-Kassa-Budapest route, with Soňa Jelínková, the head of the Budapest representation of Slovakia Travel. The aim of the event was to give domestic and international business people and decision makers the opportunity to get to know the Slovakian destination and its MICE providers in a unique environment, in an exclusive train trip.
The programme started at 8:00 in the morning on the dedicated track of Budapest-Keleti station, where guests were greeted with a red carpet welcome, a welcome drink and a “Kassa ticket”. During the train ride, guests had the opportunity to meet more than 20 MICE providers from Slovakia, creating an opportunity for personal networking and business meetings.
The train departed from Budapest at 8:40 am, followed by welcome speeches and short introductory presentations. In the morning, two negotiation sessions took place, interrupted by coffee breaks, refreshments and gourmet snacks. The train rolled into Kassa at 12:10, where the participants of the first MICE Express trip enjoyed a delicious lunch of Slovakian cuisine and a taste of Slovakia. Afterwards, they explored the city’s top MICE providers with a special city tour. The afternoon programme continued with further meeting sessions during the MICE Express train ride home. The event ended with a champagne toast and a raffle.
The workshop for Slovakia.Travel proved to the participants that the unique concept of MICE Express combines the efficiency of professional meetings with an inspiring travel experience. The event not only created a new business platform, but also provided a unique opportunity for guests to build relationships and discover the best MICE opportunities in the region in a comfortable and exclusive environment.
