GCB Gets Hefty Feedback from IMEX Exhibitors

The GCB German Convention Bureau looks back on a successful German participation in IMEX 2007. The Worldwide Exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events –incorporating Meetings made in Germany- attracted 3,400 exhibitors from 150 countries and 8,310 visitors from 97 nations.

The 146 exhibitors who presented themselves at the fair’s Germany stand organized by the GCB, expressed how content they were with their participation in IMEX and the GCB’s work in a final survey. And visitors commented favorably on the 15 German-speaking seminars offered by the GCB at the fair.

“We are happy about the enthusiastic response of German visitors and exhibitors who confirm our impression of a successful IMEX 2007. For 2008 we plan to optimize the German presence even more in order to achieve an even clearer decision in favor of IMEX,” says GCB director Lutz P. Vogt.

The GCB’s organizational efforts before and during the fair were rated as “excellent” or “good” by 80 per cent of German exhibitors. The Germany stand also met with near-unanimous approval. The organization of the fair as a whole was also very well-received.

On the three days of IMEX 2007 the GCB offered a total of 15 free German-speaking seminars for specific target groups within the German meetings and incentives market as well as for newcomers and experienced event planners. All seminars received “excellent” and “good” marks from the attendees.
