Mélange 2025 drew to a close today after two successful days of purposeful networking, business meetings, and industry collaboration at NESCO, Mumbai.
Day 2 was marked by a more relaxed pace, yet it remained highly productive with many quality meetings taking place. A notable highlight was the engaging round of presentations from the buyers’ side, which added fresh perspective and depth to the exchange of ideas. Several delegates who had originally attended for a limited time on Day 1 returned to Mélange, a strong reflection of the event’s pull and the value it delivered. The presence of strong MICE players further underlined Mélange’s position as a meaningful marketplace for the travel and hospitality sector.
One of the defining features of Mélange has been its curated, spaced-out format with controlled numbers, which allowed participants the opportunity for substantive discussions rather than just card exchanges. Both buyers and exhibitors appreciated this approach, which ensured that every meeting was purposeful and relationships could be built on solid ground.
The organisers also announced the dates for the next edition of Mélange, which promises to be bigger and even more impactful, carrying forward the learnings and positive momentum from this year.
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Platinum Partners, Gold Partners, Hospitality Partners, all our exhibitors, the travel media, and most importantly, the buyers, for taking time out of their schedules to join us. Your presence and participation are what make Mélange possible.”
“From our first edition, we have listened and learnt. Edition 2 reflects those improvements, and as we move towards Edition 3, we will continue to incorporate valuable feedback. Our satisfaction comes from seeing you take the leads and connections made here and turning them into meaningful business. Mélange stands for a healthy, responsible, and positive industry — one that values self-respect, fair practices, and the worth of quality work over unsustainable margins. Together, we can set new standards and prosper collectively.”
With that, Mélange 2025 concluded on a note of optimism and purpose.
Looking ahead, Mélange Edition 3 promises to be grander than ever before, with dates announced for 26th and 27th September 2026. Significantly, the event coincides with World Tourism Day on 27th September — a day dedicated to celebrating and advancing the global travel industry. What better occasion to bring the community together than on the very day that belongs to our industry?
Delegates can look forward to surprises from the organisers as Mélange aligns itself with this important milestone, making next year’s edition even more meaningful and memorable.
