At a glance
Three formats
Congress delegates, incentive winners and startup founders fly in from many countries. Isma works in English or French and builds each piece on what the audience decides.
Terrace and seafront drinks
At a sunset reception, Isma approaches a few guests at a time with coins, cards and a borrowed phone. Two minutes later they are calling friends over to watch again.
For incentive evenings, congress receptions and client dinners.
Congress dinner
Once plates are cleared, volunteers come up and the suspense builds for 20 to 45 minutes. The act is designed for large rooms where delegates hardly know each other.
For gala dinners, award nights and closing parties.
Startup and tech summits
VDS, the Valencia Digital Summit, takes place at the City of Arts and Sciences in October 2027. Isma, an AI engineer, lets founders challenge an algorithm on stage. Read about the AI keynote.
For summits, investor evenings and team offsites.
Tell Isma about your audience and running order: he will help you choose, with no commitment. For a company event, see also corporate magician and mentalist.

Valencia and its surroundings
Valencia spreads its venues between the conference district around the Palacio de Congresos, the old town and the former riverbed that runs down to the sea. Each calls for its own staging.
Congresses and fairs
Norman Foster’s Palacio de Congresos holds congresses, Feria Valencia holds trade fairs, and the Roig Arena, opened in September 2025, has a corporate events offer.
Landmark settings
The City of Arts and Sciences hires out spaces for gala dinners and launches, as do the Oceanogràfic and the Palau de les Arts. The Ateneo Mercantil overlooks the city hall square.
Hotels
The Meliá Valencia faces the Palacio de Congresos, the SH Valencia Palace stands on Paseo Alameda, and Las Arenas Balneario Resort runs its convention centre on the seafront.

Good to know: during Fallas, firecracker shows fill the city hall square daily from 1 March, and in 2026 the centre was closed to private cars from 16 to 20 March. Plan guest transfers accordingly.
Your questions
Yes. Isma Zmerli, mentalist and magician, performs at corporate events in Valencia in English or French: close-up magic for receptions, a stage act lasting 20 to 45 minutes, or a keynote on artificial intelligence.
Pricing depends on the format, the duration, the audience size and the date. The quote you receive within 24 hours is all-inclusive: one figure, nothing to add.
Isma performs only in English or French. For international congresses and incentive groups this is rarely an issue; if your guests are mostly Spanish speakers, close-up, which is visual, is the format to consider.
Yes. El Saler, in the Albufera natural park, is about 10 km from Valencia, and Sagunto about 30 minutes by suburban train. Tell Isma the venue and the type of room.
Close-up works outdoors without any equipment. For a stage act on a terrace or by the sea, plan a sound system, a microphone and a spot sheltered from the wind.
Fallas, from 1 to 19 March, changes traffic in the centre, and October brings the Valencia Digital Summit. For both periods, contact Isma early; he replies within 24 hours.
