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.

Satisfied
well organized event. Bit confusing the tables order. It could be changed to have instant know and view of the tables you are interested in. Lunch buffet without tables to place the dishes.

Excellent appointments with a good balance of new contacts and existing buyers to engage with

Good meetings, but still had some meetings scheduled in with companies who did not have the Netherlands as a destination or were not there. Which is quite unfortunately. I think coffee and soft drinks should be available throughout the entire day

Thank you for these suggestions. We do everything we can to prevent "no-shows" as we know it is extrremely disappointing when they happen. Your suggetion for continuous provision of refreshments throughout the day will be raised with the hotel.

Perfect networking
The event was superbly organised, the location was very well situated and the catering was excellent: three main reasons for being able to network very well.
