THE importance of the outbound Mice market from India is reflected in the number of suppliers heading to Mumbai for Reed Travel Exhibition’s inaugural IBTM India which takes place from September 12-14, 2013. IBTM India will reflect the core values of the IBTM global portfolio of meeting events providing business, education and networking but in a new tabletop format.
The first event of its kind, IBTM India will match international exhibitors through a pre-scheduled appointment system with qualified hosted buyers from India who have guaranteed international business to place. They will be alongside domestic suppliers from the Indian market who will be meeting with international buyers.
IBTM India will comprise 100 Mice and business travel suppliers from international and Indian hotels and venues, national/state convention bureaus, travel/destination management companies, event management and entertainment suppliers, professional conference organisers, airlines and technology providers. A proportionate number of top-level decision makers, 50 international and 50 from India, will be hosted as buyers, all of whom will be pre-qualified to ensure they are planning to place international business. Buyers will be from key associations, corporations and agencies.
