The Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) is the flagship trade event for the global meetings and event industry in the Asia Pacific region.
The event, to be held in February in Australia at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, will host more than 600 buyers worldwide, welcoming 3,500 visitor buyers and 570 exhibitors from various business event sectors.
AIME provides the premier platform to meet new people, learn about new destinations and event trends, and find inspiration for new programs. AIME ignites connections and creates business opportunities. It’s a melting pot for idea generation, knowledge exchange, professional development, and industry advancement.
MCI Australia Account Director and 2024 AIMEbassador Maggie Diasinos says AIME is the “must-attend” event on the global business events calendar.
“I attend AIME each year to meet with suppliers across Asia Pacific to discuss new destinations and event trends. It is where I find inspiration for new programs and make new connections in the industry.”
She says the increased demand for people to meet and reward their teams has led to phenomenal growth and event demand for the industry.
“The biggest challenge is sustaining this growth with a reduced workforce across the event supply network,” Maggie says.
The highlight of each AIME is the ability to make new connections, learn industry trends and meet global colleagues.
“AIME is a great trade show to showcase new products and for the industry to be inspired on how we can design new programs for our clients to experience,” she says.
She says the best way to make the most of AIME is to use every opportunity to connect with industry peers.
“You never know who you will meet at the Welcome Event, in a business session or on the show floor. I have made lifelong industry friendships at AIME who have inspired my personal and professional development,” she says.
As AIME enters its 31st year, it’s clear that it is where Asia Pacific does business – and where it has a lot of fun, too!
