Dear Industry colleagues,
Following yet another successful AIME event this year, I'm delighted that AIME has won the prestigious 'Exhibition of the Year' award at the Meetings and Events Australia (MEA) National Awards. This is the second consecutive year that AIME has won this award and is a testament to its value to the business events industry.
A special thank you to all of our exhibitors, visitors, hosted buyers, media partners and event sponsors who have significantly contributed to AIME's award-winning success, and who continue to support AIME year after year!
AIME 2010 proved once again that it is the must attend event in the Asia-Pacific region for the meetings and events industry. This year the event broke buyer attendance records with more hosted buyers than ever before coming from Australia and around the world. This was backed by a base of more than 800 quality exhibitors and I’m happy to report audited trade visitor numbers reached an impressive 3,101.
The AIME 2010 Post Show Report is now available and the key findings show that AIME 2010 really delivered the results that our exhibitors, visitors and hosted buyers had hoped for and that they look forward to returning to AIME next year to benefit from having so many top industry contacts under one roof.
We feel it is important to highlight that AIME is one of the few events in Australia that is CAB audited and the information you find in this report has been produced by an independent research company. We trust that this gives you complete comfort as you look to join us in another successful AIME in 2011. If you would like a copy of the post show report please Click here.
Be sure to visit the MEETINGS:review website and watch various interviews from key industry and government figures filmed at AIME 2010.
On a personal note, as I am now on maternity leave, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of AIME and wish you all every success over the coming year and in your preparations for the lead up to AIME 2011, taking place on 15 and 16 February, 2011.
