Media Entrepreneur Meetup: Ask Carina Anything: : Hosted Buyers: How The Model Works / Meetup Hosted Buyer Trip to IMEX

25 September 2025

Hybrid 16:30 - 17:15 BST

Hosted buyer meetings are a key element of many successful events, and are more on event company leaders’ radars than ever. One of the largest hosted buyer events is IMEX, whose CEO Carina Bauer is a Meetup member. We will be talking to Carina about how the model works and why it’s valuable. At the same meeting, we’re opening up the book for a Media Entrepreneur Meetup group hosted buyer delegation to IMEX Frankfurt (and later Las Vegas) – if you’re planning to launch, upgrade or relocate one or more international events then come along. CEOs, Founders, MDs and Operations Directors are welcome to come.

This is an event for Media Entrepreneur Meetup members, RSVP here to attend.
