If you are a senior level event planner and interested in placing business with high-quality meeting and events suppliers, you may be eligible to attend the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) as a Hosted Buyer.

Hosted Buyers at AIME receive a full VIP package including travel and accommodation as well as access to a unique AI-powered appointment platform to pre-schedule appointments with leading destinations and event suppliers from around the world.

Registrations close 13 December 2022. Further details are available on the AIME website.

Less than three months away, AIME 2023 will be held 13-15 February at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), where industry decision makers will connect, create and do business.

It will be the 30th anniversary for the flagship trade event for the meetings and event industry in the Asia Pacific region, which is expecting to welcome 400 hosted buyers, 2,000 visitor buyers and more than 300 exhibitors from the Asia Pacific, Middle East, USA and Europe.

Attendees can expect to see a reimagined show floor including dedicated zones for tech suppliers, hotel chains and international pavilions – all designed to enhance the show experience and facilitate networking.

AIME’s Knowledge Program will also be enhanced with the establishment of the Knowledge Program Advisory Committee. The new initiative consists of eight APAC industry leaders, who together, will guide the curation of the Knowledge Program, held on Monday, 13 February. The program is set to spark interest, stir debate and engage all areas of the events sector.

AIME’s highly anticipated Welcome Event will also return and will be held at a secret location to drive further excitement around anniversary celebrations.
