The number of hosted buyers has increased from the initially announced 500 to 2,000, says Steve Knight, Project Manager for AIBTM—The Americas Meetings & Events Exhibition. He adds that he expects an additional 1,000 non-hosted buyers to attend the premiere show, which takes place on June 21-23, 2011, in Baltimore.
“It has been going really well since we announced the co-location of [the Professional Convention Management Association] PCMA’s annual Education Conference and CIC’s Hall of Leaders Gala,” says Knight. “That rejuvenated everything. Demand has been huge. Interest from potential hosted buyers has been coming in daily. We’re talking to Baltimore [Convention Center] about adding more room. It was getting to the point where, unless we increased the size of the show floor, we were going to be selling out.”
