Hosted Buyers
"Lots of new contacts and ideas and my horizons truly broadened. Love the IMEX emphasis on 'what's new'."
Hosted Buyer Lee Kirsty Ewing
Frontline Events, South Africa
Our hallmark hosted buyer programme makes it easy for top buyers to attend the show, maximising the sales potential for our exhibitors. For buyers it's the reason only top quality exhibitors attend the show.
Once qualified, IMEX will organise the itinerary for these key buyers including their travel to the show and accommodation in Frankfurt.
"More hosted buyers than ever... there is huge energy around the exhibition hall."
Denise MacDonald
Director of Meetings, EMEA, InterContinental Hotel Group
