ILTM in Cannes The best ever luxury global event Last year in Cannes was very special. It was not only our biggest ever event but it had a real buzz about it.

3 ILTM in Cannes The best ever luxury global event Last year in Cannes was very special. It was not only our biggest ever event but it had a real buzz about it. The community feeling, the renewal of friendships, the stories and the amount of business that was done was breathtaking. And it s not just us saying that. Our NPS scores (that s the measure of how much our customers would recommend us or come back) jumped a huge 14 points from an already very impressive figure. And soon, we will be back to do it all again this year we have 15 years to celebrate so expect some more of the ILTM magic. And I would very much like to invite you to be a part of it. As much as ILTM is about renewing relationships across the globe in our tight community of luxury travel suppliers and buyers at the very top of their profession, it s also about meeting new people. Last year saw a big increase in the number of new people met with 73% of exhibitors meeting with at least 20 new business leads. And we are seeing the success of ILTM reflected in the upward trend of larger spaces being booked year on year. The Global Forum on the opening night had standing room only, such was the demand. So, please don t delay in being a part of this unique event. I look forward to warmly welcoming you into the ILTM community this year for our milestone15 th event.

We give you opportunities to make those valuable connections before the doors open and continue making sure your time at ILTM in Cannes is profitable down to the very minute. No opportunity to make a connection is wasted. Each buyer is researched thoroughly and sourced by us to match your requirements. Only the very top quality buyers qualify and each application is checked very carefully. And as these buyers are at the top of their game, they chose to come to ILTM as they know it is the most concentrated global luxury event for sourcing and placing new business in the world. Our buyers have significant business to place and we track this each year. Last year saw an even greater value of business placed and our community told us that this business is likely to be placed even sooner. For example 58% of buyers expect to place an order within 6 months of ILTM as a result of a meeting had at the event. We were delighted to source 50% first time buyers to ILTM in 2015, and the positive feedback was overwhelming. In 2016, we will continue to source new buyers ensuring each and every one meets our strict criteria. Marco Balia, Buyer Manager ILTM The vetting of the customers.
