"I've been attending IMEX since the beginning...  It is invariably well run, consistently beneficial to my business and a thoroughly enjoyable experience."

Anke Rosa

Owner, People in Motion European Business Travel Services

"IMEX is a comprehensive event with everything for the organiser under one roof and I am confident that the American and Spanish suppliers met ... will be the ones to receive my business over the next year. An exhibition which creates a 'win-win' environment for both buyers and sellers."

...Views from the Corporate Buyer

"A perfectly organised trade fair.  I've made contacts which will help me make much more confident and extensive use of destination management companies for our events worldwide."

Mirna van Diernan

Congress & Travel Manager, Roche Pharmaceuticals

"IMEX offers all you could wish for in a trade fair.  The accommodation and travel arrangements have worked well and the show lives up to its excellent reputation."

Petra Messemer

Event Manager, CIBA

"Visiting IMEX, with its well-publicised environmental programme, fits our company values well.  I am particularly interested in finding new suppliers who highlight themselves as meeting our criteria and many are rewarding me - for example in Barcelona, Budapest and Latvia!"

Marcel Schouten

Marketing Communications and Group Development, Deloitte

"For three years my colleagues have been telling me that this is the preeminent conference show to visit.  I am delighted that finally I have made it - without question a superb investment of my time and undoubtedly an event that deserves its fine reputation for productivity."

Mary Noel-Giraud

Assistante de Direction, Institut de Linguistique Francaise

...Views from the Association Buyer

"At IMEX I have found not only high-quality suppliers of conference services globally, but also those who will help us to build a network of attendees local to them - an exceptionally cooperative and helpful approach!  The main reason I attend IMEX is for Association Day which is a great opportunity to learn from other visiting organisers as well as expert speakers."

Caroline Van Niekerk

Conference Organiser, International Society of Music Education

"For me the most impressive aspect of the IMEX show is that the vast amount of information presented is so well-structured and easily digestible - and to be found in such a short space of time and with comparatively little effort on my part."

Mary Miles

Administrative Co-ordinator, The Sakai Foundation

"This is the first time I have attended Association Day and the industry insights have been both plentiful and invaluable.  We organise around 80 meetings each year for up to 100 delegates worldwide with an annual budget of more than a million Euros, and IMEX is the place to make them happen.  An indispensable industry event."

Nicolas Le Brun
