IBTM Events has unveiled a new online platform to showcase industry knowledge online, IBTM Connect. The service is a resource hub for business events professionals to access and share knowledge and practical guidance.

The launch is part of a three-step plan to keep exhibitors, hosted buyers and the wider industry connected as they collectively navigate the impact of Covid-19. It will host regularly updated content, including insightful webinars and videos from key industry professionals, ways to virtually network with industry peers and news and updates to prepare for recovery.

Shane Hannam, portfolio director of IBTM Events said: “Our connections and industry partnerships mean that we are uniquely positioned to create and curate high quality content from around the globe that can serve to provide insights and tangible benefits during this time.”

Content will be refreshed regularly, including with weekly webinars from industry experts covering topics, including motivational keynote speaker Gary Bradt delivering a session on ‘how to cope during times of unprecedented change’ and Helen Moon, founder of Eventwell, talking about ‘mental health and wellbeing’.
