Whether you have exhibited before or are joining us for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona.
Your opportunity starts today, and there is a lot you can do between now and IBTM World to have the best experience and return on your investment.
Get the attention of our Hosted Buyers by making sure your company profile is as detailed as possible. Buyers are already using the Exhibitor Directory to decide who they want to meet – so the earlier you complete your profile, the more Buyers you will reach.
Make sure you include your products, videos, social channels, and latest news.
Our aim is to get you a diary filled with appointments with valuable buyers. To successfully do that, we need to know who it is you would like to meet. Watch this video tutorial to know how to properly set up your preferences.
In this video we illustrate how you can add additional appointments once the initial match is completed. The tool is available for all: you, Hosted Buyers, and visitor buyers.
You will be able to add additional appointments starting from 06 November.
As an exhibitor, you have access to a range of marketing support, already included in your package.
Access digital banner templates in the Exhibitor Portal and use them in your email signatures, website and create personalised invitations.
This exhibitor manual is designed to provide you with simple, step-by-step information to help you effectively plan your participation at IBTM World.
Our Operations Team is also available to assist you with any queries you have.
Access your diary, report no-shows and rate Hosted Buyers, see scheduled knowledge sessions and much more with IBTM World mobile app.
Select who from your team will be attending the event early to ensure availability and allow adequate time for training. Ensure they are fully briefed on the stand, their role and the company’s activities, products, and objectives.
Organise your badges before the show for a seamless entrance. You can register your stand staff and print off their badges (in colour) from the Exhibitor Portal to avoid the queues when you arrive.
Emperia is bespoke app we developed so you can capture leads from the conversations you have with the simple scan of a badge – and it's included in your exhibitor package at no extra cost!
The Exhibitor Dashboard shows in real time how you are achieving against your event objectives.
Use the Dashboard BEFORE the show to see how many visitors and buyers are viewing your event profile, and use it AFTER the show to see how many leads your entire team were able to capture with the Emperia app.
It is crucial that you adhere to these dates and deadlines, as doing so will enhance your overall experience at the show. Missing any of them may lead to a reduced number of appointments with potential buyers, so please include them in your schedule.
