IMEX America, the largest meetings industry trade show in the U.S., will be held October 8-10 at the Mandalay Bay 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 Impact, with the 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 150 education sessions across seven tracks for you to choose from, including experience design, business practices, wellbeing, event marketing and more.
On Smart Monday, MPI Academy will debut three new experiences where planners can earn certificates, including opportunities for medical meeting professionals and those new to the industry.
Throughout the show, take advantage of wellbeing activities while competing for prizes during the IMEX Wellbeing Challenge. Work your way up the leaderboard for a chance to win prizes like tickets for the FLYLINQ Zip Line, a wellness stay at Caesars Palace, a two-night retreat at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe and more.
The IMEX Wellbeing Challenge starts at 12:01 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, October 8 and ends Thursday, October 10 at noon. The competition is open to both individuals and teams. For more information, visit hekahealth.com/imexamerica24.
On the tech side, Google Xi is bringing its CoLaboratory back to IMEX America 2024 with experimental workshops and activations to encourage conversation and meaningful connection. And after more than two years of development, the Google Xi team will launch their Belonging Playbook, which teaches planners how to foster a sense of belonging in and out of the workplace to reap bottom-line benefits.
