About IMEX America
A trade show for the global meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) industry, featuring over 3,500 suppliers and 5,700 decision makers.
IMEX America 2026
IMEX America runs 13–15 October 2026 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
IMEX America is a trade show for the meetings, events and incentive travel industry in the US — the marketplace where destinations, hotels, convention bureaus and event technology companies meet the planners who book them. The show is built around a hosted-buyer programme: thousands of qualified planners attend with pre-scheduled appointment diaries, which makes it one of the most transaction-dense events in the business.
For anyone who plans meetings at scale — corporate, association or agency — it is the American industry's annual marketplace.
