In order to ensure this continued success, ibtm africa has announced a collaboration with both the Southern African Association for the Conference Industry (SAACI), as well as Meetings magazine. The latter will aim to provide better quality information on the industry and how to improve your business dealing within it, while a new Career Progression Programme will aim to better skill those working in the meetings sector.
Both partnerships strive to enhance awareness around ibtm africa as an educational programme, but also further collaboration between industry bodies to facilitate growth within the meetings industry within, and outside of, the African continent.
Chardonnay Marchesi, General Manager of African Travel Week says: “We’re very excited to announced our partnerships with SAACI and Meetings ahead of ibtm africa 2017. We are determined to present the best possible programme to the meetings and events planners that will be in attendance, and with the aid of these two partners, we certainly will.”
