GIBTM 5


Providing you with a live, inspirational and educational experience to expand your industry knowledge at GIBTM is very much part of the agenda for 2012. This year’s professional education programme is without doubt our most comprehensive yet and full of brand new and exciting elements. Once again you can attend industry leading sessions with MPI and ICCA, while for the first time ever ACTE, the global Association of Corporate Travel Executives, will deliver groundbreaking presentations and panel discussions to help you improve your decision making.


Embracing Arabic culture is key for the development of GIBTM, and in another first for the show, we ask you to join Ali Al Saloom of Ask Ali.com as he presents an inspiring seminar delivered in Arabic on business travel and the age-old concept of the Majlis.


If you’d like to know how your industry is shaping up for the future, the 6th IBTM Middle East Meetings Report will be delivered at GIBTM on Monday 26th March at 1pm, and is not to be missed, but be sure to arrive early as this session is always very popular!


As a meetings and events professional you will understand the power of networking, meeting old and new faces, connecting and building relationships. GIBTM has made no exception to the rule and has the pleasure of inviting you to the Official Welcome Recep- tion on Tuesday 27 March at the brand new Rocco Forte Hotel, Abu Dhabi.


If you are attending GIBTM as part of the highly valued Hosted Buyer Programme, please join us for an exclusive evening of network- ing on Monday, March 26th at the stunning Emirates Palace. Details can be found within the Hosted Buyer Lounge.


Ultimately, GIBTM exists to provide you with a unique opportunity to explore the world’s leading solutions for the MICE and Business Travel Industry whilst providing you with industry knowledge and building your professional network. We are confident over two and half days you will experience exactly that.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, for his continued support and Patronage, and our 2012’s distinguished partners, including Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, ADNEC, Etihad Airways, The Vision Destination Management Company and ACTE as well as our global media and publisher of the Official Show Daily publication, Meetme, published by NPI.


On behalf of myself, my team, and all at Reed Travel Exhibitions, I wish you a very successful and enjoyable GIBTM 2012. Lois Hall
