IBTM Events has pulled the curtains back on a new online event, IBTM Wired, which will take place from June 28 to July 1, 2021.
The event is a permanent addition to IBTM’s global portfolio of B2B events. It will bring professionals from across the world for four days of one-to-one business meetings, networking sessions, and a programme of live and on-demand education sessions curated by sector, skillset, and geographic location.
The event platform, built by Sector Global, will be open 24 hours a day for the event’s duration so that the global community can tailor their schedule to their timezone.
Each day will provide key insights into a region, from industry outlooks to expert opinions that will help professionals discover new opportunities, expand their areas of focus, and get the latest information on each region’s recovery.
The schedule is as follows:
- Asia Pacific (June 28) – IBTM has partnered with SACEOS (Singapore Association for Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers) to create SMF X IBTM Wired, which will see this year’s hybrid Singapore MICE Forum (SMF) integrated into the programme for IBTM Wired with an education programme that focuses on new ways of community engagement, design thinking and innovation.

“While there’s a huge demand for face-to-face events and we look forward to their return, it’s clear that there is a long-term place for high-quality online meetings”, said IBTM’s event manager Michael Jones.
“IBTM Wired will tap into the desire for year-round connections and will be a valuable and easily accessible touchpoint for existing and new customers from all over the globe who are looking to do business and network with their peers.”
