HOSTED association planners attending EIBTM in Barcleona this November are being granted greater freedom of choice and flexibility in how they use their time during the show.
Prompted by feedback from association meeting planners and a focus group help in London in May, EIBTM has launched the My Association My Club initiative.
Graeme Barnett, EIBTM senior exhibition director, Reed Travel Exhibitions, said: “Association meeting planners have very specific needs and this new offer includes flexibility at its core.
“From freedom to explore the show floor and discover new suppliers, building an education programme of their choice, and having the time to meet with members of their community. It’s all about creating their own personalised programme and that is what the launch of My Association My Club aims to deliver.”
Benefits from the new programme include:
– Flexible schedule with time to explore and discover new suppliers and innovations
– A personalised diary with pre-scheduled appointments of the association hosted buyer’s choice
– Opportunity to connect with contacts and meet other international association peers at networking events
– Selection of education sessions that association planners can choose from to meet their own business needs
– Access to a dedicated business-style Club Lounge on the show floor with free lunch, refreshments, and Wi-Fi. It also functions as a chance to meet contacts and peers
– Support from a dedicated helper for registration
– Free flights, trail travel, and transfers
– Four- to five-star association accommodation
All hosted buyer applications are individually reviewed and accepted based on strict qualifying criteria.
