SHARES A SNEAK PEEK AIME 2023 will be a celebration of the event’s extraordinary 30-year legacy with new features, events, programming and more to be announced. With event planning well underway and new exhibitors and Hosted Buyers confirmed daily, Silke Calder, AIME Event Director, gave us a sneak peek into what to expect at this year’s special anniversary show. THE COUNTDOWN IS ON Less than three months out from the big day and AIME has sold over 90 percent of its showfloor. We’re thrilled with the support we’ve received from international destinations – including our New Zealand friends. Along with Australia’s convention bureaus - every state in Australia will be represented at AIME next year. It sets the scene for a wonderful 30-year celebration. Here is just a snippet of what to expect. THE KNOWLEDGE PROGRAM Kicking off AIME’s 2023 program on Monday 13 February is the highly anticipated Knowledge Program. Open to Exhibitors, Hosted Buyers, Hosted Media and upgraded Visitor Buyers, the Knowledge Program is the launchpad for the global events industry to come together, immerse in learning, growth and inspire events for the next year and beyond. The theme for 2023 is: Your Industry. Your Opportunity. What is the opportunity for the events industry now? Our ongoing commitment to deliver the best program for the industry has seen us establish a new initiative - the Knowledge Program Advisory Committee. This committee consists of eight leaders from the Asia Pacific meetings and events industry who are guiding the curation of the program - we guarantee participants will leave engaged, renewed and armed with new skills to take their events to the next level. HOSTED AND VISITING BUYERS We have a redesigned showfloor awaiting our Hosted and Visiting Buyers including dedicated zones for tech suppliers, hotel chains and international pavilions - all designed to enhance the show experience and facilitate networking. A unique Uncover Melbourne Experience, tickets to the Knowledge Program and the AIME Welcome Event (13 February 2023), plus several more complementary experiences are included as part of our Hosted Buyers Silke Calder, AIME Event Director The Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) is returning to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 13 – 15 February 2023. It is the industry’s flagship tradeshow in Asia Pacific (APAC) and with nearly 60 percent of the world’s population located in the region, it is the ideal platform for capitalising on the growing business events industry. [A IME PR EV I EW package – applications close 13 December so do check out our website for further details. EXHIBITORS A key distinction that sets AIME apart is our bespoke AI powered pre-scheduled appointment system. By matching buyers’ needs with the destinations and services on offer from our exhibitors, our technology will align over 10,000 meetings. There is no other show in the APAC region that guarantees our exhibitors introductions with such highly qualified and vetted buyers. As evidenced by $120 million written at AIME 2022, this is a proven formula for success. It is one of the many reasons why we are the most trusted business event held in the Asia Pacific region. WELCOME EVENT Our highly anticipated Welcome Event will be bigger and better than ever next year! Not to mention, extra special as we’ll be celebrating our 30-year anniversary. As something a little different and to build even more excitement, we’re keeping the location a secret until the day of. I will say this though, it will be unmistakably ‘Melbourne’ and I can’t think of a better way to welcome our guests to this special city!
