Check out the snaps from last night's beachside soirée.
AIME 2020 officially kicked off last night, 17 February, with the highly anticipated welcome event.
Taking over the Port Melbourne Yacht Club and adjacent beachfront, the event was a casual, Aussie affair that called for bare feet and summer frocks.
It was a high energy end to the first day of the AIME 2020 program, which included the Knowledge Exchange, held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Scroll through for some the event highlights, such as beach tipi tents, a lobster shack and a DJ on the beach.
