Carina Bauer, CEO of the IMEX Group, outlines the plans for the return of IMEX in Frankfurt, on 31 May – 2 June.
An unforgettable experience with business and human connections at its heart: IMEX in Frankfurt returns 31 May – 2 June
Bauer says: “While doing business and powering our sector’s growth sits at the core of the show, IMEX in Frankfurt stands for so much more. Inspiration is one of our core values and we’re set to deliver this through a creative and cutting-edge show experience. An unforgettable experience that helps attendees reconnect and revive, supercharge their skillset and – importantly – have fun. By coming together – and celebrating 20 years of IMEX in Frankfurt – our community is set to create many memorable moments.
“With our worldwide roster of suppliers and confirmed buyers, we’re confident the show floor will be a hub of activity where the industry can comfortably and effectively do business. We can’t wait to get back to business in Frankfurt and celebrate the sheer joy of being back together – our industry lives and breathes face to face business events and from what we’re witnessing, it’s raring to go.”
Global exhibitors announce major launches
An international range of exhibitors – destinations, venues, technology providers, incentive companies and more – are planning their participation at the show. Suppliers from Europe, North America and Asia are among the dozens of destinations who have confirmed attendance.
Parts of the business events sector have forged ahead in the past two years with investments in refurbishments, new venues and enhanced experiences. IMEX in Frankfurt will be the stage for some major launches such as Ethiopia’s new convention bureau, new venues, new professional development programmes and new industry partnerships.
More than 2,500 buyers from 70 countries have registered.
