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.

Overall, I found everything very well organized as always. The meeting tool and the pre-event information were excellent and made it easy to prepare. However, I have a few comments: Coffee-break area: The available tables in the coffee area were quite small and there were not enough of them for short breaks. Since we sometimes have time between meetings, we need space to place our belongings and possibly do some work. Additionally, there were almost no power outlets to charge laptops. Contact list after the event: I would appreciate receiving a contact list with all relevant information in the form of a small booklet after the event. This would allow us to connect with participants even if no meeting took place. It would be especially helpful with WTM coming up.

Hit and miss
The event was fab, buyer quality excellent. However, I had 8 no-shows due to the fact that people did not know they had to come to my table. Tom did a sterling job rounding people up after I told him what was happening, but this should've been made much more clear beforehand.
