By: The Americas Incentive, Business Travel According to AIBTM’s survey, sixty-four percent of U.S. buyers indicated interest in placing meetings within Europe and over half of U.S. buyers were interested in hosting meetings in Asia. The Market Focus Spotlights on Europe and Asia provide exclusive one-hour networking and business opportunities for attendees to conduct individual meetings with European and Asian exhibitors participating at AIBTM one-on-one. “We are very excited to participate in AIBTM Chicago this year; our partnership and commitment with Reed Travel Exhibitions around the globe, and especially their support here in the USA, are allowing us to increase our MICE business in Spain significantly,” Hosted Buyers who have selected Europe and/or Asia as a potential preferred destination on their registration application will automatically have this networking hour added to their pre-scheduled appointment itinerary. “Last year’s success of the European Market Focus showed mutual value for both Hosted Buyers and exhibitors. It is clear from the demand that there’s continued opportunity to spotlight new and emerging meeting markets,” said Michael Lyons, AIBTM Exhibition Director. “This year, we want to extend the show floor experience by delivering focused, private networking sessions for European and Asian exhibitors who want targeted exposure to the U.S. buyers.” To participate as an exhibitor or pre-register as a Hosted Buyer for AIBTM, go to www.aibtm.com.
