MPI has confirmed that it will be continuing its partnership of the Technology Village at EIBTM for the sixth year running.

Joyce Dogniez, MPI’s EMEA director of operations, said: “Keeping apace with developments in technology is vital for the meetings industry and our 23,000 worldwide members. The Technology Village @ EIBTM has gained an enviable reputation for exhibiting some of the most innovative and effective technology solutions for event and meeting planners. It is therefore particularly appropriate that MPI, as the global meetings industry community, continues to sponsor such an important initiative at the premier international event dedicated to the sector.

“In the last six years MPI has recognised that EIBTM is an excellent event for the meetings industry to see and test the newest and most popular technology developments. Our role at MPI is to ensure that our members can see, in one place, technology solutions that could make a real, profitable difference to their businesses.”

With five months to go before EIBTM, the organisers have announced that over 30 exhibitors have confirmed their attendance at the Technology Village, representing around a 20% increase at the same time last year.

EIBTM takes place from 2-4 December 2008 at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain.
