Bangkok--18 Jan--eTurboNews
Growth both from existing and new exhibitors, together with an expanded hosted buyer programme is the key feature of IMEX 2007. AEO (Association of Exhibition Organisers) award-winning meetings industry exhibition, IMEX, is on course for a record-breaking show when doors open on Messe Frankfurt’s Hall 8 on April 17th.
The hosted buyer programme is expected to top 3,500, with the strongest ever participation of buyers from the longer-haul markets, specifically from North America, as well as a doubling of buyers from Australia. The programme continues to receive the support of the major international hotel chains, as well as airlines including Air Tahiti Nui, American Airlines, Iceland Air, Lufthansa and Swiss. Airline groups including the Star Alliance and SkyTeam will both be bringing hosted buyer groups to the show for the first time, as well as offering discounts on flights from around the world to IMEX for pre-registered visitors and exhibitors. For domestic visitors, German national rail network, Deutsche Bahn, will be offering its best ever fare price to IMEX in the form of a first class return for just 59 EUR.
An expanded English and German-language seminar programme together with high numbers of new exhibitors means that IMEX has once again succeeded in developing and refreshing its offering for both visitors and exhibitors.
