BACK TO CONTENTS WTM SPEED NETWORKING
Previous speed networking sessions at WTM were so well received that many people were keen to repeat the experience as they offer the chance to make valuable, targeted contacts in a concentrated period, aiming to introduce exhibitors to the right buyers for their businesses.
Following on from the highly successful first day’s speed networking event, Thursday’s WTM got off to an auspicious start with another packed session with hundreds of buyers and sellers keen to meet and discuss business deals. Thursday’s speed networking took place for the second year running to facilitate post- WTM business deals – attracting 370 exhibitors and almost 90 members from the WTM Buyers’ Club.
Simon Press, Reed Travel Exhibitions’ Senior Director, WTM, said: “I am absolutely delighted with the attendance of WTM Speed Networking 2013. This event demonstrates the power and importance of WTM to the industry and the role it plays in facilitating business for the sector. This year looks set to generate £2 billion in travel industry contracts between exhibitors and senior buyers from the WTM Buyers’ Club, making this year’s event the most successful of the 34 WTMs.”
“The broad spectrum of businesses attending the event means there is always someone worth meeting. Even with the web, there are still events happening out there which we don’t know about until someone tells us.”
David Thomas, Head of Theatre and Events, Superbreak
“I’m really pleased with how it’s gone. Although I am responsible for Greece, a lot of the contacts made will also be of interest to other country managers so it’s been a great day for the business.”
Irina Pavlova Head of Travel Greece, Groupon
“Last year was very, very good - the best part of WTM. There are good, targeted suppliers to meet and we get deals from the most serious people.”
