RM Puri, executive director, ICPB, said: "Last year, there were 250 domestic delegates and
nine from abroad. This year we expect 300 from
India and 25 to 30 buyers from overseas."
The conference-cumexhibition will be hosted
by the Taj Palace Hotel.
"One of the objectives is to provide an opportunity
for networking and strengthen the interaction
between buyers from overseas and suppliers from
Indian CEI companies.
"We are also targeting corporate planners, multinational companies, local associations and other trade bodies to offer them a platform. This is in addition to supporting them during the bidding process for international conferences and marketing activities overseas," said Puri.
Puri said the event would use the hotel's Durbar
and Shah Jehan halls.
" Durbar, which has a capacity of 1,200 is to be
used for exhibition space, while the Shah Jehan is for the conference. We are also planning an inaugural dinner to be sponsored by the Delhi city government," said Puri.
ICPB will introduce 'mini presentations', covering
technology entertainment, and catering during events.
Other sessions will discuss financing and events
marketing.
