Who is it for?

MeetEngland stand policy – limited places available

MeetEngland’s mandate from VisitEngland is to primarily work with city convention bureaus and Local Visitor Economy Partnerships who have an international strategy for the business events sector. Priority will be given to these organisations to exhibit on the MeetEngland stand with one of their destination partners at their own discretion and management.

There will be a fixed allocation of one table/diary per company available for hotels, event venues and destination management companies which is decided once all city places are confirmed. These spots will be decided on a first come first served basis with spots distributed across all of the three international trade shows across the year (IMEX Frankfurt, IMEX America and IBTM World). MeetEngland reserve the right to ensure there is a fair distribution of product representing all areas of England.

By joining the stand with MeetEngland, all partners must disclose all business enquiries received at the trade show within two weeks of return and informing the team of later enquiries received during the year.
