Conference and Congress Shows — Meeting PCOs and Association Buyers

Conference and congress trade shows bring together professional conference organisers (PCOs), association executives and venue suppliers. For DMC Turkey Partner, IBTM World and International Confex are the most relevant annual events — PCOs attending these shows are often in the early stages of destination selection for major international congresses.

Turkey's congress infrastructure — Istanbul Congress Center, Antalya EXPO Center, Belek resort conference wings — positions the country well for international association congresses and corporate conferences of 200–2,000 delegates. DMC Turkey Partner works with PCOs at the local sourcing, ground handling and on-site management stage of congress delivery.
