The buyers and sellers of the Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo (AIME) at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center have concluded two days of networking and business meetings which included 25 new exhibitors to the show floor.

Long-time exhibitor Shahnaz Bakhshay, Director of Sales, TFE Hotels, said that AIME had delivered a lot of great quality buyers this year – helping them secure sound leads. “AIME 2018 has delivered on quality buyers for us; we have had some great appointments with buyers who have significant budgets. We’ve been able to showcase all the latest developments with our properties. If only half of these leads come off, we’ll be having a terrific year,” said Ms Bakhshay.

Whilst AIME has enjoyed 26 years, it still attracts a number of new buyers and sellers every time, with 2018 seeing an increase in the number of ‘first-timer exhibitors’ on the show floor.
