PlanetIMEX

Launching tomorrow, the IMEX team has created a brand-new virtual experience, PlanetIMEX, which will run for several months.

This new virtual experience, known as PlanetIMEX, has been designed as a destination and will feature 3D, interactive islands—A beach-themed Community Island; A forest-inspired Education Island; and a Networking Island characterized by canyons, mountains and valleys—each created using principles borrowed from the world of online gaming.

Visitors to PlanetIMEX will be granted unlimited, free access.

The intention is to allow visitors to explore, reconnect, talk future business and continue learning, says Carina Bauer, IMEX Group CEO, “PlanetIMEX is a fresh and original concept with a visual charm that pays tribute to the exhibitors who always make our shows look so appealing. We’ve combined education, community and business introductions with well-being, including some old favorites, such as #imexstillrunning. All of this takes place in a new, magical place.”

The Schedule

May 6: Community Island and Education Island open to industry visitors.

May 11: Educational programming starts, with a day of education and interactive content, starting with a keynote by Guy Bigwood, managing director of the global Destination Sustainability Index. Bigwood is also the lead on the IMEX Nature Talking Point research, supported exclusively by Marriott International, and set to be launched later this year.

May 12: IMEX Community Day, with content delivered by a range of IMEX’s association and other partners. It will also include the IMEX-MPI Future Leaders Forum.

May 18: PlanetIMEX will provide specialist content aimed at specific buyer communities, including a new interpretation of Exclusively Corporate, the Agency Directors Forum and Association Focus.
