In-depth analysis of global industry trends and unparalleled networking awaits at IMEX this fall.
Registration for the next event has begun IMEX Americais North America’s largest trade show for the global business events industry. It takes place October 8-10 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and also features MPI’s Smart Monday pre-show education day on October 7. The show brings together planners and suppliers for unparalleled networking and education. Last year, the show attracted more than 3,400 exhibitors and more than 5,300 buyers from over 150 countries.
The content is designed to address several big market influences, including changing attendee behavior, ongoing budget constraints, and technology investments. “We seek out industry experts, the most dynamic partners, and the most compelling speakers on the most relevant topics and bring them all together in one place for a high-value week,” says Carina Bauer, CEO of IMEX. “Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a newbie, our slogan to our global event community is: Let’s get started! We encourage people to be proactive and intentional about participating in live events and taking advantage of the many possibilities you can only discover by being there in person,” she says.
Educational sessions will cover current industry issues and reality checks, including a business education track exploring topics such as increasing competition for peak days and the impact on budget-tight planners. Ever-evolving technology issues will be addressed in a highly practical way, with opportunities for one-on-one support from exhibitors and learning sessions dedicated to AI, data and future innovations.
“The show’s tagline, ‘Let’s Go!’, is a call to arms for the entire industry to come to Las Vegas and use the show as a platform to invigorate their businesses and the communities they represent,” Bauer says. “One of our company values is ‘Lead the Way,’ which means our team spends months each year traveling to discuss and listen to the industry’s biggest obstacles and deliver shows and experiences that help overcome those challenges.”
