TFI Meeting Point will
handle the logistical arrangements for the invitation-only ‘black tier’ buyer
programme at this year’s International Confex (March 6-8).
Co-ordination of
accommodation and travel, helping with supplier appointments, managing onsite
registration and the dedicated programme of additional activities will all be
conducted by TFI.
Jonny Sullens, portfolio
director at International Confex organiser UBM, said: “Our buyer programmes
are all about maximising the business opportunities for buyers and suppliers at
the show. We’re delighted to have the team at TFI Meeting Point on board to
support buyers on the program.”
The buyer programme is
designed to directly match the top 200 buyers with more than 900 suppliers at the
show, covering venues, destinations and logistics, allowing buyers to build
valuable business contacts.
Barbara Blow, TFI Meeting
Point divisional director, said: “This appointment from International Confex is
a real feather in the cap for the TFI Group, and we will be providing many of
the services we typically deliver for our association, pharmaceutical and
corporate clients. We look forward to working with buyers and the organising
team to deliver a high quality, professional programme that will help make the
show even more effective.”
TFI has vast experience in
managing visitor programmes, including the successful UK Discovery initiative
for VisitBritain in 2011.
