"IMEX is no longer simply a trade show. It has become a real focal point and forum for not just business transactions, but all the other elements - from educational sessions to advocacy initiatives - that help us define and strengthen ourselves as an industry."
“I have been to dozens of meetings and events trade shows, but have never seen one like IMEX. It’s truly a show where buyers are sitting down with exhibitors and writing business. IMEX’s productivity in terms of business, education and networking is simply unlike anything in the US market today. You really have to see it to believe it.”
Business Opportunities
At IMEX, we understand that business in the events industry is all about direct sales meetings face-to-face, in-person. The IMEX trade show model is unique and has proven success at IMEX exhibitions in Frankfurt. With pre-arranged appointments for meetings between buyers and sellers all under one roof, IMEX America guarantees the show will be for conducting serious business.
“IMEX America is going to be absolutely remarkable, beyond anything we have ever seen in the US... First of all, it is a hosted buyer experience and the hosted buyer experience clearly delivers better return on investment than most traditional type trade show experiences. Second, it is also going to have a fusion of unparalleled, unprecedented very relevant education that starts before the event opens its doors.”
Educational Opportunities
IMEX is dedicated to ensuring that the educational program is current and professional. IMEX America will play host to an unprecedented number of industry educational events taking place around the trade show.
In addition, IMEX America New Vision initiatives: a ground-breaking, proven formula, encourage innovation, growth and development across the industry – all designed to advance business.
“The IMEX education program is actually critical to the success of IMEX America because business networking and education are the two critical factors in the meetings industry. The more we meet globally, the more there is need for education and the type of education that will be delivered at IMEX America will not only facilitate business networking but it will facilitate global meetings.”
Networking Opportunities
IMEX America will provide the perfect environment to talk business with the most important, influential and successful people in the events industry. With all the key players in one location, it is the ideal opportunity to build connections and business relationships.
“IMEX America is unlike any other show coming to town because of the hosted buyer program. Ray Bloom and his team at IMEX do hosted buyers better than anybody and the way they set the program up from the beginning to the planning of it, to when you are there on the ground and then the follow up. It is phenomenal. So, your experience as a hosted buyer is truly unique. You are really making contacts; you are really moving your business forward.”
“Now you can find worldwide such attempts but you cannot compare IMEX with tourist travel shows which are very different because you have the public. Here you have professionals and you are not wasting time. I think that IMEX is one of the best business trade shows for events, meetings and incentive travel.”
IMEX is much more than just a trade show - be inspired, make great contacts, do more business.
