Antwerp Convention Bureau is set to launch its international offering at IBTM 2023, showcasing the city’s array of event venues, cultural experiences, and top-notch services to the global event planning community. Having established itself successfully over the past year and fostered strong relationships locally, the Bureau aims to use IBTM as a platform to expand its global presence.
In its inaugural year, the Antwerp Convention Bureau has already facilitated substantial new business for the city, securing over 20 major events with 21,000 attendees expected over the next three years. The focus now turns toward positioning Antwerp as a premier international destination, emphasizing its unique blend of intimacy and world-class event infrastructure. The team is dedicated not only to marketing the city proactively but also to supporting organizers throughout the lifecycle of their events.
To mark this milestone, the Bureau plans an exclusive presentation during IBTM on November 29th, unveiling its new brand and highlighting Antwerp’s compelling offerings for event planners of all scales. CEO Tadeja Pivic Coudyser emphasizes Antwerp’s rich history, vibrant culture, and the fusion of historic and modern facilities, positioning the city as an ideal host for global conferences, conventions, and meetings.
The Board of Directors shares this vision, envisioning Antwerp as a preferred global destination for leading association and corporate events. They highlight the city’s versatility, accessibility, and cultural richness as perfect ingredients for creating memorable experiences.
During IBTM, the Antwerp Convention Bureau will be joined by several partners, showcasing the city’s diverse offerings. The presentation aims to provide insights into the Bureau’s support system and how Antwerp’s distinct character can elevate any event, making it a crucial event for the press and buyers interested in Antwerp’s potential as a convention and event hub.
