David Benitez

David is passionate about creating authentic event formats that inspire meaningful business relationships. He is dedicated to collaborating with industry peers to ensure audiences connect in ways that are genuine and lasting.With deep expertise in designing and curating event programmes, David partners closely with organisations to foster long-term collaborations that benefit industry leaders and strengthen the wider business community.

In 2015, he founded CoCoA H2H®, a B2B experiential marketing and events consultancy that brings together organisations and people through content and experiences with heart and soul. His mission has always been to transform ordinary meetings into extraordinary experiences — driven by true human-to-human [H2H] connections.

Building on this vision, in 2024 David launched IBX–Ibero-America, an H2H networking marketplace connecting the most senior Travel & MICE buyers across Ibero-America, powered by the CoCoA H2H® local community positive impact methodology.

Most recently, in 2025, David co-founded Sobra®, a BEFuture Accelerator award-winning startup that converts organic waste into certified compost. Sobra® is not about radical reinvention but about helping event venues take practical, achievable steps toward sustainability — starting with something as everyday as food waste.
