What is Business Travel Market?

Business Travel Market is the only corporate travel event in the UK that offers a fully hosted buyer programme to European corporate travel decision makers spending over €300,000 per annum.

We are also the only conference and exhibition that buyers and suppliers can attend, free of charge.

Up to 500 VIP Hosted Buyers will join 3,000 non-hosted buyers and suppliers from every sector of the business travel and hospitality industries for meaningful meetings, to share best practice, and to make new business contacts in a relaxed and informal environment.

A sophisticated meetings diary system allows buyers and exhibitors to pre-plan their time at the event, request and accept meetings and book spaces at our conference sessions. Exhibitors and buyers have access to detailed information about each other, ensuring that every meeting counts.

So delegates make the most of their time out of the office, whilst exhibitors enjoy a fully quantifiable Return on Investment by measuring the number of effective meetings that take place.
