AIME urges delegates: Get networking
AIME (Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo) organisers are encouraging attendees to the show to conduct business on and off the show floor through its dedicated networking events.
Networking opportunities, which kick off with the Welcome Reception at 6pm on Monday February 14, are considered a key benefit of attending the event.
AIME’s Welcome Reception, organised by the Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau (MCVB), will be held at the St. Kilda Sea Baths in Melbourne.
Last year the event attracted more than 2,200 AIME attendees from over 50 countries.
The AIME 2011 Welcome Reception showcases the best in event production and is executed with the assistance of key event sponsors Atlantic Group, Solution Red and Explore Engage.
The St Kilda Sea Baths complex will be transformed into a series of distinct spaces, each set around the oceania and spa theme to take full advantage of the location on Port Phillip Bay.
There is also a dedicated networking hour at AIME’s Globe Restaurant and Bar during AIME followed by the AIME Club Night at Crown on Tuesday February 15 with complimentary drinks until 11pm, courtesy of Crown Events and Conferences.
Also attendees can take advantage of the 601 and 501 networking evenings at Lagerfield Bar in the Crown Entertainment Centre with special drinks promotions on offer.
