About the Bellwether
The Bellwether is based on a questionnaire survey of around 300 UK-based companies that provide regular quarterly information on trends in their marketing activities. The survey panel has been carefully selected to ensure that the survey data provide an accurate indication of actual marketing trends in the whole economy. Participating companies therefore include a broad variety of advertisers in terms of market sector and geographical location. Respondents are primarily marketing directors or similar.
At IMEX the world comes together. So, a great opportunity for – almost our whole – board to meet.
Decision-makers, trade visitors and suppliers to the event industry can expect an interesting mix of exhibitors, superb opportunities for networking and deal- making, and highly informative content live on stage at the next BOE INTERNATIONAL to be held at Messe Dortmund on 17 and 18 January 2024.
