Meet The Bidder

MEET THE BIDDER – SUCCESS IN WARSAW!

After attending and cooperating with the organisers of MEET THE BIDDER, as an international media partner, MICE & TOURISM around the Worlde-Magazine was present in Warsaw for the March 2022 edition.

Without doubt, MEET THE BIDDER has continued to excel in terms of organising and communication with suppliers and buyers, from A to Ω, thanks to the hard work of the dedicated team.

Over the years, from its first edition until the latest 2022 Spring edition, it is clear that MEET THE BIDDER has clearly became THE MICE event for Poland but also ranks highly across other European events. Another major factor of its success is the high level of suppliers, attentively listening to the buyers to find the best methods of cooperation during their meetings; it is not surprising that demand for attendance at MEET THE BIDDER grows with each edition.

Warsaw welcomed the latest spring edition of MEET THE BIDDER, which took place with enthusiastic like-minded industry professionals, keen to build connections, new business and strengthen ties with previous colleagues, at the Arche Krakowska Hotel, Warsaw-Poland.

The event saw 30 exhibitors with approximately 50 exhibiting personnel, presenting their products to 70 international buyers, during the targeted day-long event.

The day began with brief presentations on the Polish travel market, trends and best practises, with a dedicated presentation from the MICE sector by Ms Katarzyna Szelemej-Pobozniak – Board Member of SOIT, Vice-President of travel company Haxel Events & Incentive.

With meetings taking place throughout the day, the event also had a special Zone "Initiatives for Ukraine" with 3 dedicated tables:

- Turystyka dla Ukrainy (Tourism for Ukraine) - Fundacja Leny Grochowskiej (Lena Grochowska Foundation) - Job Offers Exchange

The President of Federation TUgether - Mr Lukasz Adamowicz - who described the idea of #HELPzone confirmed the use of some funds for the realisation of incentive events.

All participants were eager and ready to do business after two years of uncertainty. The desire to build back tourism and MICE in Poland was a priority for all.
