In just over two weeks, the inaugural outbound MICE industry tradeshow, Get Global, begins at the International Convention Centre, Sydney.  By just attending the event and visiting exhibitors, buyers will be in the running to win a plethora of luxury travel, stay and experience prizes.

Get Global has partnered with Touchpoint to assist with buyer registration, delegate management and prize entry system. 

Donna Kessler, Director and founder of Get Global, “We wanted to provide buyers with a unique 'pass' rather than a traditional name badge.  The Touchpoint check-in process, where buyers receive their pass, will be quick, efficient and unique to Get Global.  Sellers will scan a buyer's pass to give them a single entry into the prize draw in place of a business card exchange.” 

Every time a buyer visits an exhibitor, they will have their badge scanned and will receive an entry into the prize draw.  There is the opportunity for every buyer to receive 90 entries.

Gary Bender, Director and founder of Get Global, “Our focus is on the needs of buyers, and sellers, to ensure they maximize their time at Get Global. By implementing the Touchpoint system, we can give our sellers access to the buyer's details without the delay of lengthy information gathering. The huge prize pool being offered by the sellers really gives buyers the motivation to get out and about at Get Global and engage with the brands represented.”

Buyers will have the chance to win flights, accommodation packages and experiences in London, the US, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Hawaii, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Johannesburg.  The prizes have been provided by exhibitors such as Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Hawaiian Airlines, Qatar Airways, South African Airlines, Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, Marriott International, Kerry Hotel, Prince Hotels & Resorts, Sofitel Fiji, The Langham, Cordis, Hawaii Tourism and Africareps.

Get Global provides an innovative and efficient business platform for international suppliers to connect with corporate meeting planners, incentive houses, PCO's, travel companies and anyone else that has international group business from Australia.

Get Global will be held in The Gallery, at the International Convention Centre on Friday 28th July, 2017. Find out more: www.getglobal.com.au
