Target Audience:

  • Business travel management companies

Format:

This trade show attracts international buyers and exhibitors over a three day period.

  • Personal seated pods equipped with individual plasma screen with HDMI connectivity, lockable storage and branding
  • Internet access
  • Pre-show marketing by VisitScotland
  • Access to your own personal online portal on the ibtm world website

REGISTER YOUR INTEREST

Please register your interest here to attend IBTM World 2023.

The deadline for registration is 31 May 2023.

Please note that spaces are strictly limited for all opportunities. VisitScotland needs to ensure that the mix of suppliers meets the need of the buyers and therefore reserves the right to make the final selection.

Like other public bodies, we are carefully considering the impact of the challenging economic situation on our own activities. At this stage it is unclear what the budgetary position will be. We are therefore reviewing our expenditure and looking at how we can ensure the best use of any available funds. With the caveat that we will not know about IBTM World until February 2023 at the earliest, and with a degree of certainty that we cannot exhibit at all trade shows, we invite you to register your interest.
