SINCE 2023

Four editions. One technology partner.

IMEX Group first chose ExpoPlatform for IMEX America in 2023. Three editions of record growth later, the official technology partnership has been extended for a further three years.

That means IMEX America 2026 runs on the same platform exhibitors and buyers already know, evolved again with new features shaped by their feedback. No relaunch, no relearning. Just a stronger show.

IMEX AMERICA 2025

Built for one of the most complex shows on the calendar

IMEX America brings thousands of exhibiting companies and participants to Las Vegas for three days of back-to-back appointments.

Every one of those buyers needs the right meetings in their diary before they land. Every exhibitor needs every conversation captured as a lead. At this volume there is no room for downtime or double bookings.

IMEX GROUP & EXPOPLATFORM

A partnership that evolves, not restarts

ExpoPlatform’s approach with IMEX Group has been to evolve one stable ecosystem rather than replace it. That gives IMEX Group continuity and gives exhibitors and attendees a platform they trust from the moment they log in.

“

Our partnership with ExpoPlatform has helped us to harness technology to drive value for participants year after year, aligned with our core value: ‘lead the way’. We’re thrilled to keep pushing boundaries with ExpoPlatform, harnessing AI to elevate every aspect of the in-person and online experience.
