IMEX America 2025, the largest meetings industry trade show in the U.S., will be held October 7 to 9 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. If you plan meetings and events, there’s no better place to network with other planners, meet with global suppliers and destinations, and learn how to make your meetings more impactful.

The annual Talking Point at this year’s show is called Impact 2.0. It comes with a mission of bringing the global events community together to do business, learn and drive positive change.

Whether you are new to planning or a seasoned pro, IMEX America’s free education program has you covered. There are more than 250 education sessions across nine tracks for you to choose from, including event logistics, experiential event design, impact, leadership and culture, technology, innovation and AI and more.

On Smart Monday, on October 6, MPI Academy has plenty of workshops and discussions to participate in, including a wide range of important topics, such as site visits, AV, marketing, room trends, logistics, mental health and more. Planners can also take courses for certification. It is a great kick-off before the exhibition show floor even opens and an opportunity to network.

Throughout the show, take advantage of well-being activities in competition with your peers. Within the 8th Annual IMEX America Challenge, participants have a chance to win amazing prizes for reaching challenge goals and working their way up the leaderboard. Participants can work alone or as part of a team. The challenge starts on Tuesday, October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and ends on Thursday, October 9 at noon PT.
