AIME gets behind Queensland appeal

Saturday, 17 Jan, 2011 0

Organisers of next month’s AIME (Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo) will hold a fundraising drive to assist those who have been affected by the devastating flood damage in Queensland.

Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau (MCVB) and Reed Travel Exhibitions are encouraging AIME’s visitors and exhibitors to donate to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal, via special collection bins which will be set up on the MCVB stand’s registration desk at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Sandra Chipchase, MCVB’s CEO, said, “With so many (Queensland) communities, businesses and individuals adversely affected, significant donations are needed.

“As we saw with the Victorian bushfires in 2009, the willingness of the local and wider international business events community to galvanise and provide physical and financial support can make a huge difference.”
