Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau, part of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), is currently hosting IBTM Arabia. The event at Jumeirah at Etihad Towers hotel in Abu Dhabi brings together meetings and events planners from across the globe to connect with MICE suppliers based in the MENA region. It includes planned one-to-one meetings, invaluable networking opportunities, a ‘Discovery Day’ and carefully devised educational sessions delivered by industry experts.
“Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau has had another successful year in which we have succeeded in winning bids to host major events and conferences, so IBTM Arabia will provide us the chance to continue this momentum well into 2020,” said Mubarak Al Shamsi, Director of Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau.
“Also, last year saw the opening of a number of new amazing attractions and accommodation venues in Abu Dhabi, which complement our existing portfolio. So IBTM Arabia is the perfect opportunity to showcase all of these to the delegates we are expecting from around the globe, as well as providing them with a forum for networking and discussion.”
IBTM Arabia comes after Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau has already won bids for a series of world-class conferences and events. This month saw the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi, the first time that this prestigious event has taken place in the MENA region, where more than 7,500 athletes from more than 190 nations convened to compete in 24 Olympic-style sports.
