Overall good experience. However the organisers did pair me up with a few suppliers who were not connected to my position as inbound tour operator.

Much less than expected
I really liked the format of the event, I think it is very active and really interesting. I did not like the organization of the appointments, nor do I understand that the organization made appointments that were not requested, taking up our agenda and not leaving us time for those appointments that were important to us. Especially since many of the appointments were No Shows.

Thank you for giving us this feedback, and doing so publicly. One of our problems with a heavily requested operator is that other people demanding to see you crowds out your own requests. Nevertheless there was a disparity between the of appointments you requested and were given. We are working to address this problem.

Gem has to be the best event on the circuit for productivity and networks!
Organisation excellence with positive, welcoming and energising atmosphere. I came away filled with inspiration, re-established existing relationships and had new doors opened via this great network of industry professionals.
