BCD M&E employs a stringent qualification process to ensure its partners understand and adhere to the quality of service that it delivers to customers. While, BCD M&E expands its reach and service capabilities, the partner organizations have the benefit of working under a recognized, global brand with extensive resources and expertise.

ATHENS - BCD Meetings & Events (BCD M&E) increased its global presence by adding Greece to its extensive list of partner markets expanding its Global Partner Network. The Global Partner Network extends BCD M&E’s reach through well-established, expert meetings & events companies around the world which supplement its wholly-owned locations.
These companies are industry leaders in their individual markets and bring specific local expertise to customers needing the leverage and scope of a global meetings & events agency but the customization and expertise of local markets.
“We make a strategic decision to partner with the best-in-class businesses in markets where our customers need to be and we do not have a wholly-owned presence,” said Jeroen Duiker, Vice President, Global Partner Network. “Our partner markets know the regional and cultural nuances of doing business there which provides superior, localized service to our customers.”
BCD M&E employs a stringent qualification process to ensure its partners understand and adhere to the quality of service that it delivers to customers. While, BCD M&E expands its reach and service capabilities, the partner organizations have the benefit of working under a recognized, global brand with extensive resources and expertise.
Mrs. Katerina Mousbeh, Mideast Managing Director stated: “This new partnership is a great honor and a big success for us since Mideast Travel Worldwide was selected among a large number of PCOs in Greece.
The recognition of our services’ high quality standards as well as our designation as an official Member of BCD Meetings & Events Global Partner Network, further inspire us to raise the bar higher and continue to provide each and every one of you with services defined by our corporate motto 'We Care'".
