What a year for AIME in 2008! Celebrating its 16th year, the Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo AIME 2008 set many records with visitor numbers increasing by 24% and hosted buyer numbers increasing by 33%. Exhibition floorspace grew by 8% and seminar attendance was the largest ever, increasing by over 30%.
We have had incredible feedback about the quality of the buyers, new branding, new feature areas, networking events, touring program, overall look of the event and general organisation of the event, which was of the highest calibre.
The feedback from exhibitors, trade visitors and hosted buyers has been that AIME 2008 really lifted the bar in all areas.
We have also had amazing feedback on the success of the social events this year - the Welcome Reception, which was held at the Central Pier, Docklands, AIME Club night - MIX@Fusion, Dine around Melbourne and the Networking Hours.
