Visit Warwick Conferences at the international IMEX exhibition

The University of Warwick, Conferences & Events to showcase its award-winning facilities in Frankfurt

The University of Warwick, Conferences & Events will be among 3,500 other exhibiting companies from 150 countries lined up to market themselves to nearly 4,000 hosted buyers and 5,000 trade visitors from the international meetings, incentive travel and events industry in Frankfurt this May.

This year’s IMEX in Frankfurt trade show will take place at Messe Frankfurt from 22 – 24 May. It will be attended by hosted buyers from 68 global markets, including the fast-growing, influential BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Hosted buyers from the powerful German meetings and events market generally account for 16% of the total.

According to an exit survey conducted after last year’s show, buyers placed orders worth $508 million with exhibitors during the three days of the show, a rise of nearly 12.8% compared to the year before. As a result, many exhibitors return year after year and use the show as a key part of their annual marketing plan. This year the award-winning trade show also celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Rachael Bartlett, head of sales and marketing at The University of Warwick, Conferences & Events comments: “The University of Warwick, Conferences & Events offers some of the finest university conference facilities in the UK and regularly plays host to huge numbers of international conferences and event visitors.

“Our outstanding facilities have led us to hold a number of prestigious titles and accolades and we are regular winners of M&IT’s Best Academic Venue award which we have won 17 times in the awards’ 24 year history.

“Easily accessible, with the motorway networks just a 15 minute drive away and Birmingham International airport a 20 minute drive away, The University of Warwick, Conferences & Events couldn’t be easier to get to. Located in the very heart of the UK, we also benefit from our proximity to fast rail links to London – a mere 60 minutes away from Coventry train station.

“With over 2,100 bedrooms, we are able to accommodate large numbers of delegates with a vast array of requirements and our exceptional and flexible catering, served up by our award-winning chefs, completes the unrivalled, world-class events experience.

“For delegates seeking to experience some of the UK’s finest treasures, Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon and Warwick Castle are just a short journey away, together with Royal Leamington Spa, Coventry Cathedral and Birmingham City Centre.”
