IMEX (International Meetings and Events Exhibition) America brought together more than 3,500 buyers from North America and elsewhere around the world attended the three-day show – which provided valuable business and networking opportunities for the participating tourism companies from Ireland.
The show included scheduled appointments and evening networking events with top meetings and incentive travel buyers.

“Our message is that the combination of our unique experiences, professional DMCs and warmth of our welcome ensures that Ireland is a fantastic destination for incentive travel and corporate meetings.”
