VIP Delegations Programme

For VIPs

DEFEA offers VIPs and Official Delegations the opportunity to create and control their meeting schedules during their visit and to pre-select the companies interested in holding business meetings through a dedicated platform.

During their visit, they will be accompanied by an official exhibition guide, who will assist them in all the required procedures.

The Delegation Lounge dedicated exclusively to international official delegations and VIPs includes a comfortable lounge area and special services to official delegations and VIPs. The Delegation Lounge is located in a specially designed area within the exhibition.

DEFEA offers exhibitors the opportunity to manage their B2B meetings through a dedicated platform. The delegations will choose the exhibitors that they wish to meet by sending a request for an appointment. Final approval for the meetings requested is given by the exhibitor.
