Meet your match

We know achieving results from events is not always easy. With such a mix of products on offer, it's hard to tell who is a right for your company, and who doesn't quite fit the bill.

Our goal is to be different from other events - simply select your preferred product types, and we'll connect you to leading suppliers via our matchmaking software.

Meeting high calibre exhibitors in a 1-1 meeting ratio ensures that you'll make meaningful connections at the event.

I have discovered many interesting contacts at IGTM this year that we are planning to do more business within the future. A lot of surprising appointments with enthusiastic people and enjoyed the presentations in the IGTM theatre.

This is my first IGTM and it has so far already proved to be one of the biggest prospecting tools we have. IGTM is so well suited for building our business. Both North and South Africa have become so important to our clients.
