ibtm arabia launches one-day attendance option for UAE Buyers in 2018

ibtm arabia has announced a new one-day attendance option for Buyers from the United Arab Emirates attending the 2018 event, which takes place at Jumeirah at Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, from 5-7 February 2018. The initiative will see an additional 30 United Arab Emirates-based corporate and agency event planners attending on the final day of the event. The aim is to help them consolidate their meetings and focus on building connections and doing business with international exhibitors, allowing them to maximise the value of their time spent at the event. The group will be able to connect with an exciting mix of international suppliers, organisations already confirmed to attend include the United Nations Conference Centre, Interprefy, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Events-Case, the Georgian National Tourism and Tourvest IME (Incentives, Meetings & Events). Marco Balia, head of buyer programmes – ibtm events, comments: “Following feedback from Hosted Buyers and suppliers, we are delighted to introduce this new attendance option for UAE buyers, to allow more flexibility for their diaries and connect them to suppliers during ten one-to-one business appointments. They will also gain invaluable insights during the day’s Knowledge Programme, delivered over lunch, as well as network with suppliers and peers from across the globe at the event’s closing reception.”
