CONFEC BLUE 08

Mainland European Buyers meet European Suppliers

26 June - 29 June 2008

Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort, Malta

The second CONFEC BLUE forum will take place from 26 June - 29 June at the Radisson SAS Bay Point Resort on the wonderfully historic island of Malta. The hotel is a peaceful haven with 224 spacious De Luxe Rooms, 20 Junior suites and 8 Executive suites, all with balconies and sea views. The St Julians area is very central and is the most active part of the island.

The first CONFEC forum for European buyers was held in Cyprus in June 2007. With 110 suppliers and 73 hosted buyers from 15 countries, it had a waiting list for delegate places. It is already established as an extremely effective forum for the key European markets.

Thank you for the CONFEC Blue 07 forum. Extraordinary organisation and good quality of buyers. Good value and a great experience.

Lanzarote Convention Bureau - Lydia Umpierrez

My expectations were high because of excellent word of mouth in your favour. CONFEC Blue globally managed to meet them.

Beau-Rivage Palace - Thierry Dal Magro

CONFEC forums are the most effective MICE events in Europe - 3 days of face-to-face prearranged meetings and fabulous networking programme with the top buyers from UK and mainland Europe. Highly time efficient, cost effective and extremely enjoyable…. just how business should be.

Two highly targeted European forums for 2008:

CONFEC RED 08 in February is dedicated to top buyers from the important UK market. For details of CONFEC RED click box on right.

CONFEC BLUE 08 in June is dedicated to top buyers from the key markets across mainland Europe including the Germany speaking regions, France, Benelux, insert Spain, Italy and Scandanavia. It will take place 26 June - 29 June.

The top agencies and corporate buyers dedicate time to CONFEC forums to talk business with international hotel chains, individual hotels, unusual venues, convention bureaux, tourist boards and DMCs.

• All Hosted Buyers are strictly qualified and places are by invitation only.
• All buyers have substantial business to place across Europe
• All meetings are pre-selected
• All buyers have their own Meeting Desk throughout the forum.
• Delegate numbers and ratios are strictly controlled to ensure optimum networking opportunities.
• There are around 60 buyers and 100 supplier company places at each forum.

At a CONFEC forum you can achieve 6 months of research and targeted meetings in 3 days.

I've attended six excellent CONFEC shows.... This CONFEC Blue was by far the best CONFEC I have attended

Hospes Hotels & Moments - Peter Nieuwland

A different experience and approach to business where you meet professional buyers with interest. One of the most successful events we participated in 2007.

Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Geneva - Jean-François Mercier

Perfect mix of appointments and networking with great organisation

Hilton Molino Stucky - Christine Nobis

The organization of the event and the quality of the buyers, in my opinion makes Confec the best workshop in the MICE industry

Turgalicia - Jose Paz Gestoso
