Australian international borders are open, so there’s nothing stopping the business events industry now! As the leading trade event for the meetings and event industry in the Asia Pacific region, AIME brings everyone together once more in Melbourne in March.

AIME has always been the platform to kick-start the industry year, re-establishing relationships, creating new connections, learning from each other and overall growing and enhancing businesses in many different ways. After a two-year hiatus, AIME 2022 embraces these values even more.

The events industry has been through some highs and lows over the years, but nothing like what we've experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The industry has proven its resilience time and time again, so let's now use AIME as a platform to accelerate recovery in 2022.

“AIME 2022 is set to be the next big ticket international trade show to drive confidence right across the Asia Pacific region and importantly where key decision makers connect, exchange ideas, and create business opportunities.” Julia Swanson, MCB CEO

Planning an industry event this year? If you’re considering a business event in Melbourne don’t miss out on seeing how Melbourne can bring your business event to life at the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) from 21-23 March at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

AIME is the leading trade event for the meetings and event industry in the Asia Pacific region. It's where industry decision-makers connect, create and do business.

As a premier destination for delegates and event planners, Melbourne is ever-changing in its offering, providing an array of new reasons to host business events. From new hotels to new unique venues, we have a myriad of new experiences to showcase at AIME 2022.

The team have used their ‘gap year’ to make some big improvements to the event. First and foremost for 2022, the format of the show has been changed to comply with government restrictions regarding overseas travel and quarantine.

The Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB) is set to inspire AIME 2022 delegates at the Melbourne Stand. As the largest stand on the AIME 2022 show floor, this year’s Melbourne Stand promises to showcase the best of the city, challenge expectations and introduce many exciting new exhibitors.

MCB works collaboratively with its industry partners to ensure the city’s events offering is constantly evolving and appealing to the next generation of event buyers and planners. With partners spread across the Melbourne Stand, the very best of the best will be at your fingertips to transform your next event.

The AIME team also offers a Hosted Buyer program where guests will enjoy exclusive access to the AIME 2022 program including intimate experiences in and around Melbourne under the renowned Uncover Melbourne at AIME program.
