How to Attend
Buyers are invited to attend IMEX America either as part of the hosted buyer program or independently as buyer attendees. All buyers at IMEX America should be involved in, have some connection to, or interest in, the meetings and incentive travel and associated industries.
Buyers placing business both internationally and domestically within the US can either apply for the hosted buyer program or can attend independently as buyer attendees. Buyers who only place business domestically within the US are welcome to attend as buyer attendees but are not eligible to apply for the hosted buyer program.
Hosted Buyers
To qualify for the hosted buyer program, buyers have to meet strict qualifying criteria and commit to attending eight appointments per day at the show with exhibitors of their choice. |
Attendees
If you don't qualify to be a hosted buyer, as a buyer attendee, you can enjoy discounted hotel and travel, no-cost education sessions and more. Check out all the buyer attendee benefits here.
