WORLD - Eric Rozenberg, president of Belgian-based Swantegy, has been appointed as non-executive chairman of Reed Travel Exhibitions' (RTE) global portfolio of meetings events.
The IBTM portfolio includes AIME (Australia), EIBTM (Spain), CIBTM (China), GIBTM (Middle East) and AIBTM (USA).
An RTE statement said the role would require Rozenberg to contribute to the strategic development of the portfolio, maximise awareness of the events, as well as provide international industry intelligence through his high profile position in the sector.
Additional input will see him provide thought leadership for the professional education programme at each of the events on five continents and to act as a facilitator for show events and various speaker programmes.
Group exhibition director Craig Moyes said: “Eric has been a close supporter of RTE for many years and his industry experience and knowledge will provide a perfect partnership for the management team and our global portfolio of events. We hope that his international perspective, not least the work he has done in the last year,will give us some interesting new ideas across all levels of our business.”
Belgian born, Rozenberg was one of the founding members of the EIBTM CEO Club and has attended EIBTM for many years, he was at the inaugural GIBTM in Abu Dhabi and more recently at the first AIBTM in the US, and has also been a visitor to AIME.
His own European basedcompany Swantegy, helps corporations that strategically use meetings and events in their marketing mix, to increase their business performance.
Earlier this year, RTE appointed Danielle Keogh as head of sales for the same portfolio.
