About The Ideas Exchange:
About us

Our philosophy:

Bringing international standard quality conferences, exhibitions and events to the Worlds senior executives developing strategic platforms that understand and deliver on your business objectives.

The board of directors for “The Ideas Exchange”, a division of IX Events Ltd have unique experience in the world of conferences and exhibitions. They have assembled a team of professionals that provide outstanding value and service to the European and Indian market.

Our expertise covers a wide variety of business sectors: from pharmaceutical to beauty, infrastructure to corporate governance. We focus on business-to-business exhibitions and conferences. Our offices are based in Mumbai (India) and London (England), but our capabilities extend across Asia and Europe. We stage our own branded events and work internationally to make our events relevant to their geographical market. We produce everything from hotel-based conferences to major international exhibitions - and also excel in executing bespoke corporate seminars.

Our point of difference: like any corporate entity we aim to make profit, our point of difference is that we are dedicated to delivering customer excellence by providing:

Conferences and exhibitions that genuinely address the issues facing the markets they serve
Delegate and stand costs that are affordable to the industry.
Investing in to ensure unparalleled returns for our delegates and sponsors
Our secret: Too often exhibitions and conferences are starved of success. Due to late bookings, many event organisers haven’t got the capital to invest in marketing, generating an ever-downward spiral of lower returns for participants. Public conference organisers sometimes promote well but often charge exorbitant prices that leave most customers out in the cold.

The Ideas Exchange is different: we have the capital to invest and we have the experience to deliver. Our philosophy is to first build events that serve their market and then open these to overseas companies to create truly international events. Yes, we welcome international business – we are international – but our marketing and cost structure unashamedly puts our regional customers first.
