Stephane Doutriaux, Founder & CEO, Poken (Stand N185) who has exhibited since 2010 commented, “Our experience at EIBTM has always been tremendous. It’s a successful show for us to expand our international presence and the contacts that we make are always very promising. The Technology Village gathers a great mix of people and companies who are bringing real innovation to the event industry. We wish EIBTM a Happy 25th anniversary and look forward to this upcoming edition!”
In addition to the many exhibitors who have benefited from the return on investment that the Technology Village has provided for business, EIBTM has confirmed that there will be 17 new exhibitors participating including Twoppy, Sandsteps, Giumelli, Event Mobi, Eventilo.com, Magic Box, Evenium, Corporate Activities and Events, Artlab, Magency, Urban Gaming, Superevent, Turning Technologies, Soft for You, Idiliq and Magrada.
This year’s winner of the EIBTM Technology Watch award, bXb Online will also take their place within the Village (Stand N120) as the prize for their win included a stand.
Tony Lorenz, Founder, bXb Online commented, “EIBTM, and the greater IBTM series of events, has been an increasing driving force in our industry for 25 years. So EIBTM’s recognition of our work underway at bXb Online is especially important and appreciated.
More broadly, the pace of adoption of innovative technology in our industry is accelerating. Business consumers demand a more responsive pace of adoption by event owners. EIBTM is a platform for the industry that enables smart and informed decisions by thousands of stakeholders in our industry”.
Graeme Barnett, Reed Travel Exhibitions, EIBTM Event Director commented, “The growth of this dedicated area is a direct result of the growth in technology products and services for the industry. Some 78% of Hosted Buyers from last year confirmed that it’s a priority for them in their appointment’s diary as they want to keep up to date with what’s new and current trends”.

EIBTM TO DELIVER DEDICATED EDUCATION AND BUSINESS TRAVEL PAVILION TO MEET GROWING DEMAND FROM CORPORATE BUYERS
August 31, 2012EIBTM TO DELIVER DEDICATED EDUCATION AND BUSINESS TRAVEL PAVILION TO MEET GROWING DEMAND FROM CORPORATE BUYERS
Post show research following last year’s EIBTM (www.eibtm.com) confirmed that 57% of international Hosted Buyers who attended, indicated that they organise Business Travel. As a direct result, EIBTM 25 will extend the show profile beyond the meetings and events industry this year to incorporate business travel with a specialist exhibitor pavilion on the show floor and a stream of dedicated education sessions provided by the Association for Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE).
The new Business Travel Pavilion at EIBTM will provide a dedicated meeting area for exhibitors to showcase their products to visitors and Hosted Buyers with a responsibility and proven budgets for corporate and business travel, plus there will be bite-size education sessions within the same area that will be free to attend.
Graeme Barnett, Reed Travel Exhibitions, EIBTM Event Director comments, “The incorporation of Business Travel to EIBTM is a logical extension to the current show profile and we are very excited about the new possibilities and increased return on investment that it will deliver for our exhibitors already operating in this field, as well as introducing new specialist buyers and suppliers to the event”.
EIBTM has also formed a strategic partnership with ACTE, the leading non-profit organisation who serves over 60,000 travel executives from across the globe. ACTE will deliver cutting edge education content at EIBTM with a dedicated seminar stream focused on professional corporate travel management for all of those involved in the Business Travel industry.
Ron DiLeo, ACTE Executive Director comments, “This collaboration is extremely timely, as business travel and meetings continue to converge. Face-to-face meetings are vital to business success and a healthy economy. Executives must travel to network and push forward initiatives. Through this partnership, ACTE is pleased to bring its unique level of knowledge, insight and expertise to Reed Travel Exhibitions, increasing educational deliverables to the meetings industry”.
EIBTM 2012 takes place 27th – 29th November, Barcelona. Companies interested in exhibiting at EIBTM 2012 (http://www.eibtm.com/bt) should contact eibtm@reedexpo.co.uk or on +44 (0) 20 8910 7711.
