More
than 900 meetings already scheduled for INDABA 2015 using the INDABA
Business Matchmaking Programme: Start planning your INDABA 2015 today
with the Online Diary and Matchmaking System
With
fewer than 60 days to go, buyers and exhibitors are gearing up for
INDABA 2015. Key to these success factors is the INDABA 2015 Online
Diary and Matchmaking System. This service is already giving buyers
and exhibitors (INDABA delegates) a platform to plan their INDABA
meetings and extract optimal business value from the tradeshow.
Thanks
to these tools, buyers and exhibitors can view and select companies
they would like to meet, and confirm their meetings before INDABA kicks
off on 9 May 2015.
“INDABA
is the soul of the African tourism industry. It is the single most
important event in the year to drive the industry, and the continent
forward. The INDABA 2015 Online Diary and Matchmaking System have, over
the years, proved to be key platforms in linking exhibitors and buyers
that are serious about maximising their time at the show,” says South
African Tourism CEO, Mr Thulani Nzima.
Both
the Matchmaking and Diary components of the system are available at no
additional cost to all INDABA exhibitors, delegates and visitors. Users
need to set up a profile that includes detailed information about their
company and meeting requirements. This information is then used
intelligently to match their profile to the right individuals. A private
online report is generated that enables the user to view companies
matching their profile and use it as a basis to set up meetings.
“Last
year, 19 399 meetings were set up using these tools. This is proof of
just how valuable this digital platform is, and its critical role in
INDABA’s success. Taking into account user feedback, these tools have
been further optimised for INDABA 2015,” Mr Nzima says.
To
access this valuable digital tool and to make full use of the Online
Diary and Matchmaking System, INDABA exhibitors and buyers should visit http://www.
Once
you have selected the companies you wish to meet, meetings will be
scheduled on your behalf. As new companies will be registering for the
system daily, it is important for them to check reports regularly to see
new matches.
