A programme for in-house event professionals and marketers
The Exceptional Experiences programme at IBTM World is an exciting new addition to our Barcelona event, designed exclusively for in-house events professionals and marketers at brands and corporates.
Impact Stage
A showcase of the latest, best-in-class solutions, as chosen by your peers. Hear about the exciting work suppliers are doing across sustainability, D&I, marketing, experiences and more.
Main Stage
In the landscape of inflation, lack of resource, geopolitics, supply chain issues, and more, the joy of curating experiences is being squeezed out of event planners. Re-ignite your passion for experiences through inspiration and debate, as leaders tackle key challenges.
Workplace Revolution
Join speakers from the main stage to further dissect topics and make meaningful connections with your peers through shared experiences and problem solving.
ReFuel
Burnout is the new epidemic. Whilst stress isn't a new topic for event planners, we're now working with a backdrop of new challenges. Take time out from your busy diary to ReFuel through a programme of mindfulness and self-care.
