Greetings from IMEX – where 8 of the ConventionPlanit.com Hosted Buyers attended IMEX Association Day –  a unique annual event for association meeting planners which focuses exclusively on professional education and round-table debates with each session tailored specifically to address the professional concerns of association executives.

Sessions  concurrently during the day to allow delegates to achieve maximum return from their time.  Association buyers regularly account for approximately 12% of IMEX’s hosted buyers each year.  As such, they deliver huge buying power and influence to the show.   The day was capped off by an elegant reception at the Westin Hotel Frankfurt.

Also ending the day on Monday (or starting the IMEX Trade Show segment – depending on how you looked at it) was the first European SITE NITE held at the Frankfurt Intercontinental.  Sponsored by the hotel and Abu Dhabi, planners and suppliers mixed and mingled for the benefit of the SITE Foundation…and a lovely time was had by all!

Trade show tomorrow – countdown to business!
