We found a significant year-on-year increase in meetings at our stand, with a majority pre-scheduled and numerous walk-ins over both days. Notably, there was an increase in the number of buyers from Europe compared to previous years, which aligned perfectly with the presence of our European team. Looking forward to next year’s Business Travel Show Europe already!”

Even more profound this year as it provided a great opportunity to launch new technology and show off our new rebrands for Clarity and Brighter.

And, co-located with The Meetings Show means we can network with a broader range of buyers, from those looking for managed travel services, right through to meetings and events.”

FAQs - what companies ask before they book

What makes Business Travel Show Europe different from other trade events?

So many things, but if we had to pick our top ones, they would be:
  • Presented by the BTN Group, who have been part of the industry for over 39 years and are a team that truly understands the industry.
  • The show itself has been running for 30 years, and it’s lasted so long because we know what we’re doing
  • The only event with a fully qualified buyer audience. Every buyer who registers is checked and vetted by our team.
  • Our hosted buyer programme – the first in the industry - brings travel buyers from the UK and Europe to the event, offering complimentary accommodation and a host of networking to maximise buyers’ time and enjoyment.

Can I see a floorplan?

The floorplan will be available closer to the event. Contact the sales team for any further information.

What stand packages are available?

We have a solution for every budget and KPI. If you want to make a big splash, then a space-only stand if your best option; if you’re looking for something lower-key to hold a couple of meetings, then the meeting pods of the hub could be the right place for you to start.

VIEW STAND PACKAGES

When can I start contacting buyers?

Around four weeks out from the show. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you an email a couple of days ahead, so you know the exact time and date you can log in. Then you’ll receive an email from the event planner with a link to log in. From then, you’ll be able to message hosted buyers and visitor buyers, manage your diary and more.

What types of buyer will I meet at the show?

The Business Travel Show Europe attracts a broad spectrum of buyers every year. Corporate travel managers, procurement professionals, and meetings and travel bookers from across the UK and mainland Europe. From FTSE 500 companies to SMEs. On average the travel managers who came as buyers had an average travel spend of €28M. Around 88% are responsible for purchasing travel products/services for their business. In 2024 the main industries we welcomed buyers from were finance, professional services, manufacturing, technology and media.
