The two-day event was attended by around 5,500 corporate meeting and event planners, providing the tourism partners from Ireland with an excellent opportunity to do business with the influential decision-makers in attendance, through a series of pre-scheduled appointments and networking opportunities.
David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s deputy head of Great Britain, said: “International Confex is an important event for corporate meetings and events professionals – providing another valuable platform to showcase and sell the island of Ireland and to build awareness of our world-class business and conference facilities'[.
