Expert Advice Appointments Sponsored by the Reed Global Meetings and Events Portfolio      This important new element in the Congress programme will enable delegates to obtain practical solutions for their most important challenges and advice that is specifically designed for their individual needs and unlocks a tremendous expertise that exists within the ICCA membership. Running constantly throughout the three main education programme days of the Congress, delegates will have the opportunity to book 20-minute one-on-one appointments with approximately 50 pre-selected ICCA members and Congress speakers, who between them will be showcasing a vast array of expertise and consultancy topics - technical, marketing, research, development, strategy, etc.     We know that each delegate arrives at the Congress with a different set of objectives and looking for solutions to a unique mix of business challenges - this new concept assists them to design a personalised Congress experience to meet these needs.   ICCA will be recruiting the Experts amongst the speakers and those ICCA member companies which are primarily in the business of providing services to other members.  Six weeks before the Congress all registered delegates will be sent details of which Experts are available during which time periods of the Congress, along with details of their areas of expertise, and will be invited to book up appointments online.  On arrival at the Congress, all participants will receive a SpotMe networking device with their individual appointments pre-loaded.   We strongly believe that this concept is going to swiftly become one of the most invaluable elements of the ICCA Congress, so look out for the announcement in your in-box mid-September inviting you to sign up.  At the 2009 Congress when we ran a small-scale test of this concept, 50% of the available appointments were booked up within 24 hours!   Please note: there will be no traditional exhibition at this and future ICCA Congresses.   ICCA would like to thank our Business Partner Reed Travel Exhibitions and their portfolio of meetings industry trade shows for their generous sponsorship of the Expert Advice Appointments in Hyderabad.
