EIBTM offers new skills seminar for event planners

BARCELONAEIBTM 2005 will feature a Corporate Planners Forum, hosting more than 50 incentives and meetings planners from international corporate organisations for a dedicated programme of education and networking.

The programme has been introduced following the success of the Association Programme and in response to demand from exhibitors, according to show organiser Reed Travel Exhibitions. Taking place over two days, from November 30 to December 1, the forum incorporates dedicated professional education, networking opportunities and appointments with suppliers at EIBTM. The Forum's professional education sessions will be twin track to allow delegates to choose the topics of most relevance to them. Speakers include David Rich, The George P Johnson Company and Elling Hamso, the ROI company covering topics such as return on investment, procurement in the meetings industry and maximising PR.
