A number of country-specific International Days will be held during Ipex 2006, which takes place from April 4-11, at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. A number of counties have been identified as key targets with specific requirements that would benefit from the initiative.
"Overseas visitors are welcome throughout the eight days of the exhibition, but the International Days enable their needs to be better catered for," states organizer IIR. "The visitors can be more focussed and time efficient at the show - and exhibitors can better manage international resources and information on their stands. "
The International Days will include a welcome reception, briefings on topics of particular interest for each specific country, to be held in the Innovation Theatre, and networking events for dealers and distributors.
An exclusive International Lounge will offer overseas visitors an area to relax, work and network. It will feature IT equipment, business services including translation facilities, TV screens for international news and a bar area.
Bespoke services will be offered to pre-organized buyer trips from overseas, including travel and accommodation packages, translator services, welcome reception and tours of local attractions.
The International Days timetable is: Tuesday, April 4, China/ASEAN; Wednesday, April 5, India; Thursday, April 6, Italy; Friday April 7, Australasia/Japan; Saturday April 8, Eastern Europe; Sunday April 9, Middle East/Africa; Monday April 10, America; Tuesday April 11, General.
