GIBTM, held annually in Abu Dhabi, is the only Arabian Gulf event dedicated to the meetings, incentives, conferences, events (MICE) and business travel sectors. Taking place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from 29th – 31st March 2010, GIBTM is supported by Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and is under the patronage of its Chairman HH Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.

Graeme Barnett, GIBTM’s Exhibition Director comments: “GIBTM puts visitors in touch with 250 exhibitors form the Gulf, Middle East and from around the world for three days of business, education and networking. If you are an international meeting planner, corporate or incentive travel buyer, event organiser or involved in the decision making process for regular meetings, staff training events, conferences or incentive travel, then GIBTM is a must attend event.

“Visitors will find inspiration, solutions and new ideas, leaving with an even greater knowledge of the MICE sector and how to successfully formulate buying decisions for their next events.”

Visitor pre-registration, which is free, takes just a few minutes to complete online at www.gibtm.com.  The website gives visitors full information of the event with details of exhibitors, professional education seminars and networking functions, which are complementary to all visitors.
