IBTM World 2020 will transition to being a virtual event this year.
The event will take place from 08 – 10 December 2020 and will incorporate one-to-one meetings between exhibitors and buyers, as well as a knowledge program, with a range of targeted education sessions.
“Whilst we have been planning positively for a live event in December, the situation across Europe and the wider world remains very changeable. Therefore, eventhough the show is still some months away, we believe we have a responsibility to provide clarity to enable our partners, exhibitors, buyers and visitors to plan for the future,” said David Thompson, event director.
“We are very disappointed that we will not be able to bring the industry together in person in 2020 – the first year since 1988 that IBTM World will not take place as a live event."
Shane Hannam, portfolio director said: “ We are committed to Barcelona as a host city for IBTM World in 2021 and look forward to returning next year to meet with as many customers and partners in person as possible.”
