Forte Village, Italy

The 4S Symposium is renowned for selecting stunning locations, offering unmatchable hospitality and providing a variety of events for networking. This year, the organising committee has selected Forte Village, a venue that won the World Mice Awards in 2023 for the world’s “best incentive hotel” for meetings and conferences, and won the World’s Leading Resort in the World Travel Awards multiple times, most recently in 2024. The organising committee has negotiated to offer this exceptional venue and its hotel accommodation at a very attractive price. The venue is reachable from the Cagliari airport with about 45 minute taxi drive.

Forte Village is nested in 116 acres of gardens of the Sardinia’s southern coast with pristine beach. The venue has multiple hotel, numerous pools and restaurants, and the world-class Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa to make the participation to the 4S a unique experience yet again.

The booking system for the hotels will open on Monday 27 October 2025.
