EIBTM 2005 Met Industry Expectations

Industry feedback during and immediately after EIBTM 2005 has shown that this year´s event has provided an outstanding business exchange, exceptional networking and cutting edge professional education, all under one roof over the three day period.

Key highlights in this year´s edition included a streamlined appointments system that received praise from both buyers and exhibitors alike.

Recognition of the logistical improvements with the introduction of an onsite coach station and shuttle services was noted by everyone, and the extended education program attracted a record level of interest with sessions full to capacity.

The high quality of the Hosted Buyers was achieved by a strict qualification process, which meant that exhibitors were seeing buyers who were truly interested in what they had to offer.

This year´s exhibition also provided enhanced and extended professional learning opportunities with a variety of seminars, forums and programs.

The Association Program, designed exclusively for the Association meeting planner was a three-day program that offered workshops, education, networking and appointments

Corporate Planners Forum, a comprehensive and high-level program which attracted top corporate planners globally placing small high-end meetings as well as large events

General Seminars, which were targeted seminar sessions aimed at all sectors of the industry, creating an exciting learning and development resource, complimenting the knowledge and experience gained from interaction within the exhibition itself

EIBTM 2005 offered even more networking opportunities with something for everyone. This year both the Welcome Reception party and EIBTM 2005 Awards Ceremony were combined with more than 2,500 exhibitors and buyers attending.
