The Americas Incentive, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition (AIBTM) recently announced a partnership with the International Association of Exhibitions and Events™ (IAEE) to co-produce education content for AIBTM in Chicago from June 11-13 at McCormick Place.
IAEE will host education sessions in the show’s Learning Theatre, highlighting its lengthy expertise and best practices for the meetings, exhibitions and events industry. More details on the education sessions will be available before the show.
“We are very excited to partner with AIBTM on this key, strategic initiative,” said David DuBois, CMP, CAE, FASAE, CTA, president and CEO, IAEE. “This collaboration emphasizes IAEE’s priority to help enrich and engage global meeting planners who are looking to extend their reach internationally.”
Additionally, DuBois will be a part of an educational panel that will be taking place during the kick-off AIBTM Education Day on June 11.
IAEE, which was founded in 1928 to represent the interests of tradeshow and exhibition managers, represents over 8,500 individuals who conduct and support exhibitions around the world. Over 50 percent of its members are directly involved in the planning, management and production of exhibitions.
“We are thrilled to be working with IAEE,” said Michael Lyons, exhibition director, AIBTM. “To be able to offer our attendees the chance to learn from the leading tradeshow association is an important part of our mission to deliver on our show theme, ‘Defining the Future of Meetings … Together.’ IAEE’s contributions will be incredibly valuable, and we look forward to the insights their participation will bring to the AIBTM experience.”
