Would you like to fill your sales pipeline in just two days? Do you struggle to meet face-to-face with high quality event planners?

Introducing AIME – The Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event, taking place on the 10-12 February 2025 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

AIME is Asia Pacific’s largest and longest running business events exhibition and learning platform. It connects a global community of business event professionals with industry suppliers through a seamless blend of human expertise and cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

We differentiate ourselves from other events by filling your diary for you with high-quality meetings. Other events make you search for the right buyers to have meetings with. We take that worry away from you. Exhibit at AIME and you get a full two days of pre-scheduled appointments with our carefully vetted hosted buyers.

In 2025 we will organise around 20,000 individual meetings between our 4,500 strong audience of exhibitors and buyers.

This generated a staggering $330m of business between exhibitors and buyers!
