EIBTM closed last Thursday with over 15,500 (8 percent increase on 2013) industry professionals onsite for the three days of the show. The report indicated that the number of meetings in Europe is predicted to increase.

A new initiative launched for the Association Sector by EIBTM has garnered support from the industry across the world and attracted a global representation of Buyers who are now registered to attend EIBTM 2014.

From October 22nd, EIBTM opens its online diary between exhibitors and Hosted Buyers. For the first time exhibitors will now be able to request additional appointments with Hosted Buyers following the initial appointment match.

Continuing the theme of global business development at this year’s EIBTM, the Knowledge Program will include a core element on Research and Trends providing both current and visionary insight.
