What you need to know about
appointments at IMEX
Easy to use, our online appointment system saves you valuable time, helps you see who you need to, and puts you in touch with our exhibitors pre-show.
The definition of an appointment
A 30-minute meeting with an exhibitor booked by you, the buyer.
We also make appointments for groups of buyers to attend exhibitor presentations - and some exhibitors offer presentations at certain times that you can book in to. See these as your opportunity to explore new ideas and destinations.
Close to 42,000 1-2-1 appointments were made at IMEX 2022 - they are the lifeblood of our show.

Appointments for hosted buyers
Hosted buyers are in charge of their schedule at IMEX, but must commit to making appointments with our exhibitors. We ask that you come to the show with business in hand and spend complete days on the show floor
How are appointments made?
And who can make them?
All buyers can make appointments, whether you are a hosted buyer or a visitor buyer.
Around four weeks before the show, and once you’ve received your welcome email, you’ll be able to log in, search our exhibitor directory and make appointments directly with exhibitors.
