Institute of Hospitality - Hotelympia 2012

The Institute is supporting a new Hosted Buyer Programme at next year’s Hotelympia and I would like to invite you to take part.

Hotelympia runs from 26 Feb – 1 March 2012 at ExCeL London and once again looks to set to feature over 800 exhibitors in Catering Equipment, Interiors, Technology, Tabletop, Food & Drink and Bathroom & HotelSpa.

Hosted Buyer aims to bring the show to you and your buying team on your terms, in the convenience and comfort of a private, well-appointed room at Excel, overlooking the waterfront. Catering and full service facilities can be provided depending on you requirements.

Many of the 800 exhibitors will apply to show their products in the scheme, and Hotelympia will facilitate meetings with your chosen suppliers, over the course of half a day, or several days, depending on how many you wish to see.

You’re free to determine how many suppliers you see and for how long, indeed you can even use the facility to host your own internal meetings or events.

This service is free of charge; all the organisers ask in return is that you visit the show with your colleagues. To make your visit even more useful the organisers will include the provision  of Priority Visitor Benefits, giving you and your team access to the Priority Lounge, off the show floor, with free WiFi access and refreshments.

We expect Hosted Buyer to be popular with a number of notable brands’ buying teams already booked to take part, including 3663, Virgin Active Healthclubs, and Compass Group. 

If this idea appeals to you please contact Hotelympia marketing manager Jon Squire on 020 7886 3039 or jon.squire@freshrm.co.uk to find out more and book your sessions.
