IBTM World trade fair in Barcelona
IBTM World is the leading international trade show for the meetings, incentives, conferences and events industry. Every November, Barcelona welcomes destinations, convention bureaus, hotel chains, conference venues, DMCs and event technology providers from all over the world.
The show runs on pre-scheduled meeting agendas between exhibitors and hosted buyers, who travel to Barcelona with flights and hotel included. On top of these appointments come industry forums, destination presentations and networking events that fill the schedule from morning to night.
With dozens of half-hour meetings each day, a professional minibus service ensures delegations and teams arrive on time at the venue and every side event, without wasting time on transfers.
