30 qualified national operators will meet with 45 international buyers for the Italy at Hand event, taking place from 1-3 November 2018 in Bologna. The interactive inaugural MICE event will serve up three days of specialised activity with a side of networking, and is organised by Convention Bureau Italia. Italian suppliers can apply to participate in the event until the closing date of 31 August. The event takes place between Palazzo Pepoli, Palazzo Re Enzo, Palazzo Albergati and other venues. The format is pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings. International buyers will be selected in the first weeks of September, and the national bureau says that most applications to date are from decision-makers in the European meetings industry. Tobia Salvadori, bureau manager of CBItalia, said: “We are very pleased with the international attention that Italy at Hand is creating… CBItalia is capable of bringing in buyers directly to Italy thanks to our successful experiences in BIT 2018 and the even more recent HCSC International, where CBItalia was able to confirm 60 highly qualified international buyers.” For more information, visit: http://www.conventionbureauitalia.com/italy-at-hand-event
