AIME 2025: Shaping the Future of the Events Industry through Advocacy and Development

AIME 2025

AIME 2025 was a transformative event, acting as a powerful platform for advocacy and industry development within the meetings, incentives, conferences, and events sector. Through key partnerships with industry associations, AIME provided a crucial opportunity for professionals to strengthen their voices and contribute to shaping the future of the industry.

The Knowledge Program, curated by BEAMexperience, was a focal point of the event, offering a series of sessions that reflected the evolving demands of the industry. This program allowed for a rich exchange of ideas, with key industry associations given a prominent voice to share insights, concerns, and vision for the future. These collaborations proved essential in ensuring that all aspects of the events sector were represented and heard, from emerging trends to future challenges.

Alongside the Knowledge Program, the Ideas Academy, presented by Spice, provided a unique setting for dynamic conversations and idea exchanges. Located on the show floor, the Ideas Academy became a vibrant hub where industry leaders and attendees gathered to brainstorm, innovate, and explore creative solutions to the challenges facing the industry. With contributions from 30 expert speakers and active participation from over 700 professionals, the Ideas Academy demonstrated the power of collaboration in driving the sector forward.

AIME 2025 also made a significant impact through its co-located industry events, including the AIME Leaders Forum hosted by ABEA, AIPC @ AIME, and the UFI 2025 Asia Pacific Conference. These events allowed industry leaders to engage in high-level discussions and forge stronger networks that will influence the direction of the events industry for years to come. The co-location of these forums further highlighted AIME’s role as a central gathering point for industry innovation and knowledge sharing.

In line with AIME’s commitment to mentorship and industry development, the event also hosted programs aimed at nurturing the next generation of event professionals. The Accelerate program offered junior professionals the chance to shadow their managers during Professional Service Activities (PSAs), providing invaluable hands-on experience and career development opportunities. Meanwhile, the Next Steps Program gave students the chance to work alongside the AIME team, gaining practical work experience that will shape their futures in the industry.

AIME 2025 was a celebration of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and industry growth. It not only highlighted the importance of advocacy and development within the events sector but also laid the groundwork for the continued success of the industry in the years ahead. With a strong emphasis on mentorship, industry partnerships, and co-located events, AIME 2025 proved to be an essential gathering for anyone committed to advancing the future of the meetings and events industry.
