AIME Trumpets New Seminar Program
Reed Travel Exhibitions has announced its new Professional Development Seminar Program for AIME, 14th Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo, at the Melbourne Exhibition Center, on June 6 and 7.
The Program includes two Association Seminars, two Business Event Forums, and six new seminars for the local and international corporate market.
“We have decreased the number of Association Seminars from four to two this year, following feedback from Association Buyers that they need more time to meet with exhibitors,” said AIME Event Director, Rosemarie Sama.
According to Mrs. Sama, the half a dozen seminars for corporate visitors will zero in on practical aspects of running a major special event, organizing conference programs, sourcing professional speakers, managing the budget and getting more done in less time.
“There are three seminars each day and we believe they will be extremely well attended,” Ms Sama said.
