IBTM Arabia is the new name spearheading a transformation of the former annual GIBTM show.
The event will also have a new location – the 5 star, The St Regis Hotel Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi - with new dates, from 10-12th February 2015.
The key features of IBTM Arabia 2015 includes a new exclusive, closed door event format based on mutually matched business appointments, providing more touch points for exhibitors and buyers. In addition to an all- inclusive pricing structure, the new event will also accommodate a one-to-one ratio of Hosted Buyers and exhibitors.
Lois Wilcox, Exhibition Manager, IBTM Arabia said, “Foremost in this transformation is that IBTM Arabia will be an all-inclusive solution where an innovative meeting pod design customised with the exhibitor’s corporate branding will give privacy to meetings between Hosted Buyers and exhibitors.
“Exhibitors only pay one price and their meeting pod will be ready upon their arrival so that they can go straight into business meetings. Everything is included in the price; no additional stand costs, freight, or build costs,” added Wilcox.
IBTM Arabia will feature up to 200 exhibitors, who will be able to meet with the same number of prestigious planners representing the regional and global MICE industry - 50% regional and 50% international, from Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and South America.
All exhibitors and Hosted Buyers can select online who they would like to schedule a meeting with and a sophisticated software system will match the appointments, based on the preferences of both buyers exhibitors.
