Online diary success for IT&CMA and CTW Asia Pacific
More than 100 exhibitors and buyers have achieved 100% scheduled appointments before IT&CMA and CTW Asia Pacific 2013 opens today at Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld.
Darren Ng, managing director of TTG Asia Media, said the success of the Online Diary at the IT&CM China show held in April early this year proved how beneficial this feature had become for delegates.
"We are equally delighted with the positive results we are witnessing at IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific.
"They demonstrate the intensive efforts the show organisers have put in to ensure delegates can justify their ROI ahead of the event, and have greater control over their appointment schedules."
The Online diary allows buyers and exhibitors to schedule appointments well ahead of the event.
Confidence in IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific has also translated to strong support from industry exhibitors, notably from new participants and destination CVBs.
This year’s showcase will feature 122 new exhibiting companies, with many of these new companies coming in under the various CVB and national pavilions, including new participating countries Jordan, India and New Zealand.
Japan’s private MICE sector has also chosen IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific to stage a strong comeback to the MICE scene. Event organisers have clustered all participating Japanese exhibitors on the show floor.
Similarly Singapore is represented by 15 private sector organisations, 10 of which have been clustered into a dedicated Singapore pavilion to promote the destination.
Taiwan has also doubled its confidence in the event with twice the booth space this year. The country is also coinciding its exclusive MEET TAIWAN networking event with IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific to maximise reach to local buyers and media.
Lily Su, from the Taipei International Convention Centre of Taiwan External Trade Development Council, said: "Our participation this year is the biggest to date with nine co-exhibitors at the show."
Taiwan will hold a media briefing on Thursday, October 3, at the Lotus Suite 9, Level 22, Bangkok Convention Centre.
