Our thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of those who lost their lives in the horrific shooting in Las Vegas. We will not allow this act of evil to overcome us.

‘Bright light city gonna set my soul on fire’!

Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world, famous for its ‘neon flashin’’ and its ‘one arm bandits crashin’’. Soon it will be playing host to an exciting business travel industry event,  IMEX. It’s  America’s worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events, creating the opportunity to meet and do business with over three thousand two hundred destinations, venues and suppliers from over one hundred and thirty countries,  all under one roof.  The two day extravaganza has all the glamour and excitement of showbiz, but without the hangover or fortune won and lost you’d expect from 24 hours of gaming.

As word spreads, travel itineraries for Vegas are being changed at the last minute, the casinos and shows sidelined, in favour of the IMEX calendar of events.

Organisers promise you will feel immediately gratified from day one!

Monday begins with ‘immediate attendee gratification’ rapidly followed by ‘Solution Storming’, ‘Shake It’ and  ‘Aha Hour’. In the evening voulez vous rendez-vous with the industry ’s brightest and best, before the bars open and the DJ’s arrive? Smart Monday bodes well for  Slick Tuesday.

As networking is the name of the game,  IMEX offers countless opportunities to connect, with VIP receptions, fitness activities and workshops. Masterfully woven into this programme are cutting edge educational masterclasses that will transform your business strategies, budgets and financial projections. There is MBA-level teaching from academics at top universities. You can work with certified Incentive Specialists and watch the IMEXpitch , in which five event tech startups go head to head in front of an expert judging panel, that will make Dragons’ Den look old and tired.

‘More Gain No Pain” could be the IMEX strapline this year.  Be prepared for a total Life makeover with a spectrum of transformational activities, guided ‘seagull’ meditations and relaxing massages, even therapy animals are provided, with ‘angel paws’.

We should all leave IMEX with a whole new set of personal and professional tools and an address book brimming with useful contacts and we will have reestablished our bond of solidarity, respect, and friendship with the American people.

Viva Las Vegas! Viva IMEX!
