DISTREE Events, part of Infopro Digital, has appointed Delphine Iltis as International Sales Manager. In her new role, Iltis will focus primarily on the Middle East market, developing relationships with a broad cross section of consumer technology vendors and brands. Iltis will report in to Christophe Painvin, Executive Director at DISTREE Events and Event Director for DISTREE Middle East.
Iltis commented: “I am excited to join DISTREE Events and build on the company’s long-term growth and success in the Middle East. The unique DISTREE format, based on pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, remains the most efficient platform for tech brands looking to manage, build or launch routes-to-market in the Middle East. I look forward to working with consumer tech vendors and brands already active in the Middle East, as well as companies looking to take their first channel steps in this exciting market. The DISTREE model brings together key suppliers and trade buyers together in one place at one time. The ability for participating brands to pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with senior retail channel executives is a huge value-add.”
DISTREE Middle East 2017 will take place between 8-10th May at the Meydan Hotel in Dubai, UAE. The three-day channel event unites consumer technology brands and distributors with senior executives and buyers from the region’s leading retailers and e-tailers. All exhibitors can pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with retailers and e-tailers attending the event, enabling them to target specific markets or channels for their product portfolio.
Painvin commented: “We are delighted that Delphine has joined the DISTREE team. She has significant experience in running events and a strong knowledge of Middle East markets. Her appointment reaffirms the long-term commitment of DISTREE Events to the Middle East market, a region we have been active in for more than a decade.”
