Set to make waves with its global exhibitors, enriching learning sessions, and ample networking opportunities, IMEX Frankfurt 2024 promises to be a standout event.
Based on recent engagements with stakeholders from Europe and beyond, the IMEX team understands the evolving landscape where planners are increasingly mindful of resource allocation and seek maximum value from their investments of time, money, and effort.
“In planning IMEX Frankfurt, we’ve been more intentional too. We’ve taken a close look at our attendees, what they want, and why they want it,” explains IMEX CEO, Carina Bauer. “Doing business will sit front and center of the show, along with opportunities for event professionals to broaden their global connections. A visit to IMEX Frankfurt will be an efficient and enjoyable experience from start to finish, and one that enables planners to supercharge their desired results.”
The lineup already boasts a formidable array of suppliers spanning destinations, venues, hotels, and technology, ensuring a diverse showcase from May 14th to 16th. Noteworthy is the burgeoning presence of Asian markets, with Macau, Malaysia, Korea, and Singapore bolstering the roster alongside European stalwarts such as Croatia, Finland, and Ireland, among others.
The tech sphere anticipates a surge of interest, with industry giants like Cvent expanding their footprint and newcomers like TranslateABLE adding to the excitement. Notable hotel chains including Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, Radisson, and the debut of Langham will also grace the exhibition.
Tailored content awaits attendees, commencing with specialized education programs on May 13th, targeting association professionals and corporate event organizers. Addressing the pressing issue of burnout, speaker Mike Ford of Grateful Lemon will delve into stress management strategies.
He explains: “We can learn some really vital lessons from the world of sport – athletes are unapologetic about their need for recovery. In many ways, we’re no different as event planners! You could say we’re ‘corporate athletes’ and have the same need to factor in recovery time!”
Diversity and empowerment take center stage through initiatives like She Means Business, a collaborative effort between IMEX, tw magazine, and MPI, featuring practical sessions on gender equality and negotiation skills.
First-timers receive a warm welcome with pre-show activities, including a webinar and a meet-up session, ensuring a smooth transition into the bustling event.
Exciting additions to the learning landscape include themed tours and focused panel discussions tackling challenging topics. An upcoming Speaker Preview webinar on March 13th offers a glimpse into the educational offerings, building anticipation for the main event.
Mark your calendars for IMEX Frankfurt 2024 at Messe Frankfurt from May 14th to 16th, and secure your spot at one of the world’s top-rated trade shows, with an impressive Net Promoter Score of 92% for overall visitor satisfaction, according to Explori surveys.
