International Confex 2013 marks the show’s 30th anniversary

Taking place on 19-21 March 2013 at London’s ExCeL Centre, the show will be the focal point of a week-long programme of industry events

ITop personalities in the events sector have been holding meetings since June 2012 to ensure that in March 2013 the 30th International Confex will be a world-class experience. The show’s Buyer Advisory Board has been looking into every aspect of what a show can offer, including educational content and networking opportunities to meet the need for ‘one platform to meet all the needs of the events industry, both domestic and international’.

James Samuel, Event Manager for International Confex, maintains that ‘There is an opportunity for International Confex to evolve into an industry focal week. The M&IT Awards, the Britain for Events Campaign are once again set to culminate during the show and London & Partners’ “London Future Forum” will be taking place. This puts us in a prime position to showcase everything that our industry needs for inspiration, professional development, networking, speeding up the sales process and peer to peer recognition. There will be no other week during 2013 where the entire Meetings and Events community will come together. This makes the proposition of being involved at International Confex truly unmissable.’

Alexis Butler, Head of Creative Services at Zibrant, adds: ‘The Advisory Board is helping to sculpt what we see as the most significant industry expo of the year. At Zibrant we manage a multitude of events and have a myriad of requirements. I’m taking part to ensure that International Confex reflects the changing face of what an event is year on year and represents the entire spectrum of the events industry. It’s fantastic to have to opportunity to contribute to the evolution of this long standing show.’

James Samuel sums up with: ‘International Confex has a great relationship with its industry but is by no means complacent. We are relying not only on our own expertise and experience, but very much on the feedback from the leading buyers and biggest brands in order to keep the show at the top as the market leader for the UK.

‘In a week-long programme of industry events, networking at International Confex is not just restricted to the exhibition floor. This unparalleled offering really does provide a genuine and enhanced ROI for exhibitors and visitors.’
