Eventstagram's Week in Spain

Eventstagram’s Week in Spain  

EIBTM. Where the global meetings and events industry connects.  

EIBTM is the leading global event for the meetings, incentives, conferences, events and business travel industry. This year it took place in the wonderful city of Barcelona. Our CEO Dan attended with Sales and Marketing manager Melissa. The event gathered over 15,000 industry professionals for three days of focused access to a dynamic business environment with over 3,100 exhibitors!

For the 2013 show, EIBTM launched The Innovation Zone. This area of the exhibition provided a unique and interactive showcase of the latest innovations for #eventprofs, impacting the meetings and events industry today.  The Innovation zone featured a number of new initiatives including a stage for Spotlight Sessions (45 second elevator pitches for exhibitors), the Genius Hub, a showcase zone and play area for the Top-Ten Innovations and Wall of Fame. 

Highlights for us included chatting to lots of people from around the world about Eventstagram and watching them get excited about our products! We were also really excited to practice our Spanish and meet a representative from Real Madrid!

We also had the opportunity for our CEO to present his #eventtech knowledge on ‘Harnessing the power of a crowd at large events’, to other industry experts. This went down a storm. Dan also did a Youtube interview with the EIBTM social media team AND a video interview with the Fresh Team.
