Meetings Under the Microscope

IMEX developed 'Meetings Under the Microscope' in 2009, a selection of sessions which take place in the Professional Development and Innovation Pavilion showing participants how to take ownership of meeting content to drive, create and increase ROI.

What the exhibitors said…

“The Pavilion provides an excellent opportunity for large numbers of those in the meetings industry to view the educational opportunities available to them in one place. In this respect it is unique and an essential ingredient of IMEX as a whole”

Sarah Storie-Pugh, IAPCO
