I would like to say that the 10th edition of Meet the Bidder turned out to be a success. It was very well organized and the turnout of agents was very good. Personally I made many contacts and we are actually quoting for a group in Lisbon.
Juan Vilcinskas, Business Development Director, Cititravel DMC Spain and Portugal
Dear Sirs, Since Meet the Bidder event is more direct, I strongly recommend it in order to have face to face meetings with potential buyers from the Polish MICE market. The organization is also well done. Best regards
Laura Florian, Aktiv Tours Hungary
It was a great show and good opportunity to meet as many Polish players in the MICE market as possible.
Thomas Carnevale, Managing Director, Asian Trails Myanmar
I have already attended several Meet The Bidder editions and I am very happy with them. I meet both regular and new clients. Good quality venues, great organization!
Anna Komender, Sales Manager, Steigenberger Hotel Group
The organization of the Sales Calls was great. I met very good quality clients with potential for my hotels. I’ll definitely come back next year and would definitely recommend this experience to others!
Jerome Le Belicard, Sales Manager, LE MERIDIEN BEACH PLAZA - Monaco, LE MERIDIEN NICE
A few exhibitors of the XVIII edition of the Meet The Bidder visited later our office and shared with us a very positive feedback on the fairs! I congratulate you on the perfect organization and a remarkable attendance. The number of DMCs was indeed impressive.
Patrycja Werema, MICE Director
Once again thank you very much for the excellent organization of this event. It was really THE BEST show I attended in Poland since my 8 years working for Beachcomber!
Christian Ast, Managing Director, PURE Connections
It was definitely a success for me and a lot of the clients have already been corresponding with me.
Davina Naiken, Director of Sales and Marketing, Connections Tourism Management Ltd
Yesterday, I attended the Meet The Bidder fairs for the first time and I must admit, that I am very impressed. In my opinion, this event is a great idea for those who want to meet interesting suppliers and start cooperation with them.
Elwira Urbańczyk, Owner, Make Break
We were really impressed with the organisation and quality of the event, superb! I am sure we want to attend future events of yours, perhaps not always with a big team like this time but surely some of us will be there.
