IMEX America, the largest meetings industry trade show in the U.S., will be held October 17-19 at Mandalay Bay. If you are a meetings and events professional, you will find all the suppliers you need for your events — from new venues in major cities worldwide, to the latest event tech providers.

Featured this year is Education at IMEX, which is a free professional education program that allows you to explore the latest topics and trends, hone your professional skills and find answers to pressing industry questions. There will be over 150 education sessions across six tracks and it will all be kicked off on Smart Monday, powered by MPI.

Begin the week on the golf course as the MPI IMEX golf tournament benefitting the MPI Foundation will tee off at 8:30 a.m. Play will be at the Bali Hai Golf Club, one one of the top courses in Nevada.

Join the people and planet pledge as sustainablility is a main focus this year. When you join the pledge, your name will be added to the IMEX-EIC People and Planet Village list of exhibitors who have taken action — for all to see. You’ll receive a green booth number and can collect green badges for your team to wear.

The IMEX talking point this year is “Human Nature” — an understanding and celebration of all that’s good about being human. They will discuss designing events for the best human experience. See Corporate & Incentive Travel magazine’s preview in our interactive digital edition.
