“We are grateful that the city of Orlando has rolled out the welcome mat for our 2014 attendees to experience all that the city has to offer,” said Michael Lyons, AIBTM Exhibition Director. “These networking events are vital for building and sustaining relationships – a practice AIBTM encourages and is pleased to participate in every year.”
All guests will enjoy music and live entertainment at AIBTM’s Welcome Party, brought to you by Visit Orlando, at Pointe Orlando’s featured restaurants, bars and clubs including B.B. King’s Blues Club, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar, The Pub and Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar.
At the Hosted Buyer Reception, which takes place at Orlando’s five star, award-winning indoor mall, The Mall at Millenia, Hosted Buyers will enjoy a world-class shopping experience, hors d’oeuvres tasting including the finest cuisine from the sunshine state and signature beverages while connecting with other meeting planners from across the world.
Networking opportunities continue on the show floor from June 11 – 12 with the return of AIBTM’s “Refresh Zone,” back by popular demand and brought to you by AlliedPRA. AlliedPRA will manage the “Refresh Zone,” giving all attendees and exhibitors the chance to relax, recharge and rejuvenate while building new relationships and reconnecting with already-established ones. In the “Refresh Zone,” some of Orlando’s finest hospitality services will be represented to enhance the experience for show-goers.
“The kickoff parties and networking events are just the way to launch another successful show and demonstrate our appreciation to new and returning exhibitors, Hosted Buyers and meetings industry professionals,” said Lyons. “AIBTM 2014 is sure to be the best show year.”
