Buyer's Programme
The 2025 edition marks an important turning point for the event: the evolution of TTG Travel Experience into a single, online community for global business matching. Here, all Italian and foreign buyers will be able to plan their meetings with all Italian and foreign exhibitors, in a purely B2B context, through My Agenda by TTG.
The two previous Buyer's programmes, Italy Programme and World Programme, will thus merge into a single international marketplace, expanding networking and business opportunities between supply and demand.
From October 8th to 10th, 2025, all TTG buyers from over 70 Countries around the world will be present in Rimini, including the most important decision-makers with direct responsibility for purchasing (purchasing managers, product managers, contract managers, owners, directors, CEOs).

Networking and targeted business
The appointment system makes participation in the event worthwhile and takes place online, in a reserved area of the site. My Agenda by TTG will be active in the month preceding the event and is reserved for selected buyers and exhibitors in the Italy and The World Area.
How it works
Buyers fill in the profiling form. Sellers fill in the offer form. After filling in the form directly from their reserved area they can contact the available operators, selecting them thanks to an effective search engine. Once the appointments have been confirmed, the system generates an agenda that allows the buyer to arrive to the fair with a precise schedule of meetings at the stands.
At the fair, appointments last about 20 minutes each.
Meet&Match
When and where does it take place?
The event takes place on the morning of the first day of the event, with the participation of all TTG buyers seated at their desks in a dedicated area of the Rimini Fairground.
What is it?
It is the time of speed dates where all buyers meet Italian exhibitors before the start of the stand meetings. It's a way to complete the online agenda or identify new proposals to be explored during the days of the fair.
Each buyer will have their own personalised desk where they will meet interested exhibitors without pre-scheduled meetings.
Each meeting has a maximum duration of approximately 10 minutes. It is important to respect this time limit and, in turn, to make the exhibitor sitting opposite you respect it, so as not to distort the speed dates character of the event.
A cafeteria service will be available for buyers in the Meet&Match area.
