Sadly, EIBTM 2010 has come to a close today. However, Bianca Manteuffel, MPI's Manager of Member Services for the EMEA region has some great news for the Engage blog readers...
Bianca reports:
I am proud to report that MPI completed EIBTM on a great high, recruiting a grand total of 7 renewing members and a total of 26 new members during the show.
We are looking forward to officially welcoming these meeting professionals to our global community with our onboarding welcome program!
Over the course of the show we also had 8 onsite registrations for the European Meetings and Events Conference in Düsseldorf (two of them becoming a new member at the same time) next year and loads of interested members and non members in the upcoming MPI conferences.
Today also saw the repeat of the Agency Education Programme attracting loads of hosted buyers to the session, and generating traffic to the MPI stand for further information.
The MPI Spain chapter was also successful in attracting lots of guests to the several Spanish speaking educational sessions provided throughout the show. A lot of non-members attended these sessions and MPI Spain was able to show off some of the many things they are doing as a chapter. MPI was well represented throughout EIBTM 2010 and we are looking forward to another great show in 2011!
