Business Travel Show 2021 attracts 3,500 visitors

The Business Travel Show Europe made its post-pandemic return as a hybrid event, with a two-day in-person show at ExCeL London from 30 September to 1 October, and online content is now available on-demand for two weeks via Swapcard and BTN Europe.

Business Travel Show Europe – the leading business travel event in Europe – will return as a fully face to face event next year, running from 29-30 June at ExCeL London, alongside TravelTech Show and The Meetings Show. More than 70 per cent of this year’s space has already been reserved.

Over 125 suppliers exhibited at this year’s event, including TMCs, airlines and ground transport, hotel groups, technology providers, and more, which attracted over 3,500 attendees. Exhibitors launched new products, showcased sustainability initiatives and solutions on the Ethical Travel Trail, and the conference programme featured 52 high end sessions in-person and online.

“Events and travel are two of the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic, so it’s been a really long time since we have all had a chance to meet face to face and that showed,” said Louis Magliaro, Executive VP, BTN Group. “Every single person who came to ExCeL for Business Travel Show Europe relished the opportunity to reconnect, see familiar faces, hug, laugh and share a drink together. The buzz in the hall was palpable and, you know what, it felt good. We can’t wait to be back next summer to do it all over again but even stronger, bigger and better in support of the entire European corporate travel industry.”
