NETWORKING events are vital for the MICE industry, and recognising this is GIBTM, which has organised three events around the theme of ‘The Power of Networking @ GIBTM’.
Exhibitors, hosted buyers, visitors and sponsors get this opportunity via social and business networking events during and after show hours. There is an Icebreaker reception for hosted buyers and VIP guests, held on March 30 and sponsored and hosted by the Hilton Hotel Abu Dhabi.
The GIBTM Opening Night welcome reception in association with Meetme and hosted by ADNEC takes place on Tuesday March 31, as a grand welcome to all participants attending the Gulf’s largest event dedicated to the Meetings Incentives Conferences Events (MICE) market.
On Wednesday April 1, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and The Beach Rotana Hotel & Towers play hosts to the Gala Evening Reception. Entertainment and networking in the hotels gardens and pool area will enable guests to cement business relationships made at the show in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
Graeme Barnett, GIBTM’s exhibition director said, “The event has a reputation of providing the very best networking opportunities for exhibitors, Hosted Buyers, visitors and sponsors. We recognise the importance and value of the industry coming together in less formal surroundings, away from the show floor, to socialise and ‘do business’.
