Global European Marketplace 2024 Reviews

Thank you for sharing your feedback about GEM 2024. We are thrilled to hear that so many of you found the event well-organised, giving you the opportunity to meet with established partners and network with new ones. We appreciate the positive comments about our choice of venue and catering and of course, it’s encouraging to hear that our matchmaking process has been so productive and beneficial.

We understand the frustrations around no-shows, unproductive meetings, and occasional mismatches that some of you have pinpointed and we are committed to continual improvement.  We will work on refining the meeting booking system so that the day is filled with relevant and successful appointments and will ensure that we allow for more seating options during breaks.  We have also noted your comments about event timing – particularly regarding GEM in relation to WTM – and we are working on logistics and plans that make GEM25 even better, whilst building on GEM24’s successes.

Thank you once again for your participation and valuable insights. We look forward to welcoming you to GEM 2025.

I had more blank spaces than usual, and 3 appointments that were not relevant (suppliers outside the UK/Ireland). Seems strange when the booking process includes identifying business locations. Also, I could not find a way to cancel these appointments before the event.

Bravo team etoa
Very well organised, our appointments were spot-on and the 12 minute slots were a great length for the day. I wish the event was on the Monday to fit in with WTM and Nordic Market Places but I understand why this had to be for this year. I really appreciated buyers being seated for this event as sometimes as a buyer I feel like I am selling our business instead of the other way around. The vegetarian food offerings were interesting and impressive - thank you for demonstrating how this can be done well.
