Leiden Convention Bureau at IMEX

Team Leiden Convention Bureau attended IMEX 2023 in Frankfurt from the 22nd to the 25th of May! This time, it was another great success for our team, as we gained significant insights and shared our experiences about what makes Leiden unique in the Netherlands - and on a worldwide scale. 

IMEX stands for Worldwide Exhibition for Incentive Travel, Meetings, and Events. IMEX features more than 3.000 meeting planners and 2.500 suppliers from all over the world. At IMEX, the global business events community meets every year to have exciting discussions about insights and experiences and network together to come to fruitful collaborations. Finally, visitors at IMEX can learn about the latest trends in the business events community. Leiden Convention Bureau visited to convince international associations of the advantages and possibilities of Leiden!

Our team members Daniël op den Buijsch and Gergana Mihaylova-Mutish participated alongside many Dutch organisations as part of the Dutch booth, to showcase all the meeting and event possibilities in Leiden. Together, they raised awareness about the congress possibilities in Leiden, stressing its unique aspects, such as its accessibility and sustainability. With a large number of meetings on their schedule, they networked across multiple meetings and sessions, strenghtening current bonds and creating new ones, which will help Leiden become a more excellent conference destination in the years to come!
