What did your last event do for you? Exhibitors at Business Travel Market talk about their ROI from taking part

2011

'You run a great programme and I am honoured to be part of the Event'.
Andy Menkes, Partner PTCi

'It was a great event, my team and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The booking system worked really well this year and we had over 50 quality appointments.'
Alison Smith, UK Sales Director, CWT

'I was impressed with not only the size and scope of the exhibition, but the quality of the buyers as well.  As a first time exhibitor I was impressed with how many meetings I had confirmed prior to the first day and I’m already looking forward to exhibiting again next year!'
James Swift, Skyline Worldwide

'Portman Travel's participation in this, its first BTM, was an unprecedented success and we were delighted with the level of interest we received as the official travel management company for the exhibition. It was a great event and perfectly demonstrated its importance to corporate travel buyers from around the world. We were also impressed with the sophisticated meetings diary system which delivered many good new contacts for meetings on our stand. After such success, we are already looking forward to next year's BTM.'
Adrian Parkes, Chief Commercial Officer for Portman Travel

'BTM 2011 has been a really worthwhile experience for Supranational. The quality of buyers was high and the organisation of the show very professional, resulting in a businesslike and productive environment on the show floor.'
Cho Wong, Managing Director, Supranational Hotels

‘Business Travel Market 2011 was the perfect place for Travelodge to engage our brand with senior corporate travel managers and key third party agents. Unlike some other shows in the events calendar you can be assured a level of attendee with a pre-qualified spend. This creates
significant business networking opportunities which can lead to real ROI after the show if followed up correctly’.
Andy Besent, Sales Director, Travelodge   

‘The first thing to mention is that it was a delight to work with you and your staff.  You have a great team and they have been exceptionally helpful every step of the way. The quality of attendees at the show was very good and our team absolutely love the pre-arranged meetings tool concept.  This, together with the hosted buyer programme really does differentiate your show from others and are a testament to the innovative nature of the event.  The majority of meetings that were booked did occur and your staff were only too happy to chase up people who were running late, which was greatly appreciated.’
Julia Surry, Marketing Manager UK, Airplus International
