More than 370 meetings were scheduled via a dedicated B2B platform.

An especially important part of the event is the continuation of the B2B program. More than 370 meetings have been scheduled via a dedicated B2B platform. They will be held in a specially designed part of Hall 1. This program is being implemented in cooperation with the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and the Enterprise Europe Network.

During the fair, a new logo and a new brand “Experience! SERBIA” of the National Tourism Organisation of Serbia is being introduced. The basic idea behind ​​the new brand developed in association with the national platform “Serbia Creates” is contrast/duality. Serbia Convention Bureau will present the results of its research about the situation in the MICE industry in Serbia during 2021.

Serbia’s candidature for Specialised Expo 2027/2028 is also being promoted during IFT Belgrade. It is based on the theme “Play for Humanity – Sport and Music for All”. If successful, among four other bids from the USA (Minnesota), Thailand (Phuket), Spain (Malaga), and Argentina (San Carlos de Bariloche), the Expo is due to take place in Belgrade between 15 May and 15 August 2027.
