With over 14 years’ experience in the meetings and events industry, Claudia brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity and dynamism to the position. Taking the helm at the beginning of November, Claudia will assume responsibility for the management and final strategic planning of IBTM World which is returning to the iconic Fira de Barcelona from November 28 to 30.
