The Association Contacts Exchange initiative has been designed to create the opportunity for EIBTM destination exhibitors to share their knowledge and association leads.
EIBTM has actively encouraged this initiative to overcome the fact that association meetings rarely return to the same destination each year, and tend to seek new places to hold their meetings. There are currently 11 destination exhibitors in the group within the contacts exchange with each one contributing their top 5 client leads. Put together this creates 50 strong leads that each contributing destination will receive back in return for the 5 contacts, thus utilising the contacts that are within the association industry for the benefit of all those within the Association Contacts Exchange group.
Charles –Eric from Brussels International comments, Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in the EIBTM Association Contacts Exchange. The quality of these contacts was extremely high. We hope to meet some of them now at EIBTM.
Following the success of the first wave of this initiative a second group of 5 further destinations are now carrying out the same process.
EIBTM will also be inviting these clients to attend the Association Hosted Buyer programme and to meet the destinations.
EIBTM will take place from 29th November – 1st December 2005, in Barcelona.
