"Whether it’s a massive conference or a Christmas party they are involved in organising, we encourage the CEO through to middle managers and PAs to attend AIME," Ms de Swart said. "It’s a unique opportunity to meet the suppliers face-to-face, to conduct business under one roof and be inspired by the interesting and creative ideas which are showcased.
Education is also key and visitors can expand their professional knowledge by booking into our Education Program seminars, which have been developed with the assistance of the industry’s key associations to deliver relevant and timely topics."
Industry visitors are invited to join exhibitors and Hosted Buyers at various networking events throughout AIME, from the popular Welcome Reception to the new Tuesday afternoon exhibitor networking drinks and new Tuesday night networking event.
