EIBTM, organized by Reed Travel Exhibitions, is the leading international trade show exclusively for the MICE Industry. Hosted annually by the city of Barcelona, Spain, EIBTM is also one of the MICE industry’s largest events, gathering over 14,000 industry professionals.

EIBTM provides exhibitors, Hosted Buyers, and trade visitors alike the chance to submerge themselves in a dynamic and business-focused environment, providing professional education and serious networking opportunities.

So bring extra business cards! Attendees can look forward to creating new business relationships with the following MICE professionals:

EIBTM exhibitors include event management services, conference or meeting venue services, DMCs, travel agency services, museum and special interest tours, as well as wine and gourmet tours.

EIBTM trade visitors are those professionals involved in the budgetary decisions of MICE travel, including staff training and product launches.

EIBTM Hosted Buyers include all those MICE professionals that organize and influence meetings and events, incentive travel, international conventions and product launches.

Each exhibitor invites several Hosted Buyers, and it isn’t too late to apply with Bedouk!

There are numerous advantages in the Hosted Buyer program, most notably the complimentary flights, accommodation and Post-Event Tours! Hosted Buyers can enjoy 3 days of brand promotion and the capability to strengthen client relationships. Hosted Buyers receive a personal itinerary of appointments, with over 3,000 exhibiting companies to choose from. This is an invaluable networking opportunity for any MICE professional; in particular, the 2 supplementary networking events (Hosted Buyer Networking Event, Association Programme Networking Event) are held exclusively for Hosted Buyers.

In fact, 90% of EIBTM’s 2010 Hosted Buyers would recommend the program to a colleague!
