The show’s hosted buyer programme will also see increased support through the recruitment of an additional Hosted Buyer Manager due to join the team in the near future.
The Meetings Show has added to its marketing team through the appointment of Chloe Modaberi, who will focus primarily on the delivery of increased visitor numbers to the show in 2017. Chloe joins the team from Reed Exhibitions, having most recently worked on delivering the marketing campaign for The London Book Fair.
Additionally, research gathered after the 2016 edition of The Meetings Show demonstrated that 55% of attendees came to the show to seek new products and innovations. Growth in visitor numbers will therefore be supported by an increased effort in exhibitor recruitment following the appointment of Ross Barker, International Account Director, and Andy Batten, Sales Executive.
Ross joins the team from the publishing division of Haymarket and has extensive industry experience having worked on two of the sectors best known publications – Meetings & Incentive Travel and Conference & Incentive Travel. Andy joins the team having previously worked for Informa Exhibitions.
Finally, the show’s hosted buyer programme will also see increased support through the recruitment of an additional Hosted Buyer Manager due to join the team in the near future.
