The Europe Meeting and Incentive Travel Exchange (EMITE) announced today that applications for fully hosted, qualified European MICE buyers are now being accepted.
As the newest “must attend” event in Europe and powered by the wildly popular Incentive Travel Exchange, EMITE will deliver a unique one-to-one appointment-based event of pre-scheduled meetings in London 17-19 October.
The desirable and limited EMITE buyer positions provide the perfect opportunity for high-volume European MICE professionals to maximize their time out of the office and meet with qualified global travel suppliers.
In addition to the two complete days of mutually beneficial meetings, participants will also be able to enjoy valuable networking opportunities and see some of the latest venues in London.
Upon submission of a buyer application, each candidate undergoes a solid vetting process including interviews, reference checks, and a review of both past and future travel meeting and incentive purchases.
This process will ensure that only the most qualified attendees will then be invited as a guest to attend the inaugural Europe Meeting & Incentive Travel Exchange.
“Our comprehensive buyer application process helps to qualify and narrow down to only the most elite MICE professionals to ensure productive meetings that make EMITE an event not to be missed,” stated Alicia Evanko, vice president of tradeshows and events, The Travel + Hospitality Group and event director for EMITE.
“This sets us apart from other events because of the high standards we hold for our buyers and the value they receive by attending as a fully hosted participant.”
“EMITE exclusively invites European MICE buyers who have a solid book of business to apply for one of the highly coveted positions,” said Emma Waycot, EMITE buyer relations director.
“A limited number of buyers will be chosen based on the selective nature of the event. We’ve started the application process and are thrilled with the response so far.”
Key benefits of being an EMITE hosted buyer include:
- Two days of pre-arranged meetings with leading global travel suppliers
- Relevant and timely industry keynotes
- Advanced networking pre-show
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday
- An opening night networking reception
