Exhibitors are showing up strongly for next week's IMEX America with many expanding the size of their booths, making major news announcements and offering a lineup of immersive experiences and activations on the show floor.
By exhibitor floor space, this 2025 edition will be the largest IMEX America to date.
The 3,500+ exhibiting companies span the US and Canada, Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, plus all the major hotel groups and technology specialists.
US and Canadian destinations are fuelling the growth, with some of the largest booth increases compared to 2024. Europe, Latin America and the Middle East have also expanded.
These show floor increases suggest a business-hungry events industry, and one that’s growing in appetite—also demonstrated by the headline-worthy news announcements scheduled to be made on site. Among several significant industry launches are new research projects, partnerships, campaigns, venue expansions and more.
Some exhibitors are unveiling immersive activations across the show floor and beyond. These include: a mind-bending mirror box by Toronto; live harp melodies from Ireland, an F1 simulator by Maui Jim and a custom hat making experience by Scottsdale. Each one is designed to attract and inspire planners and help spark inspiration for their own events.
IMEX CEO, Carina Bauer, says: “The investment and innovation we’re seeing from exhibitors is a clear and welcome sign of strong momentum across the sector. From expanded booths to immersive activations and headline-making launches, next week’s show floor will put the full spectrum of the global events industry on display in glorious color, and with a friendly get-down-to-business attitude. It represents a much-needed and powerful moment for all our attendees to learn, do business, connect, be inspired, and understand what’s coming up in 2026.”
