Our aim is to inspire and educate Association members in all that Hong Kong has to offer as a meetings destination.”

Graeme Barnett, Senior Exhibition Director, EIBTM, adds “The EIBTM Association Programme brings some of the industry’s top professionals together to learn from high quality speakers, and to network with each other.  With such sophisticated infrastructure, a business-friendly environment, and easy accessibility to the rest of the world, we are delighted that Hong Kong is sponsoring the Association Programme and showcasing its potential to EIBTM attendees.”
