IMEX America reports record uptake in registrations

The IMEX Group has reported a “surge in registrations” ahead of its IMEX America meetings industry trade show, which takes place 9-11 November at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, with Smart Monday, powered by MPI, on 8 November.  Ray Bloom, chairman of the IMEX Group, said: “Buyer registration is quickly gaining pace with hosted buyers registering in strong numbers. There is similar buoyancy among exhibitors, too, adding up to positive momentum in the run up to our live show, IMEX America.”  IMEX reported hosted buyer demand is higher than it was at the same point in 2019, which ended in record numbers recorded. Exhibitors span all sectors of the industry but particularly North America. Already contracted exhibitors include destinations in the US, Canada, Italy, Argentina, and Puerto Rico; together with hotel groups Four Seasons, Wyndham Hotel Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Associated Luxury Hotels International. Bloom added: “Having talked to our buyers and exhibitors we know that IMEX America is set to play a significant role in their business recovery as well as offering their teams the chance to reconnect after a tough year.” To register for free, click here.
