It’s less than a month until the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event takes place in Melbourne, which will cement its status as the number one business event in the Asia Pacific region with an unprecedented lineup of speakers, presenters, and industry experts.
Kicking off the first day of AIME, the Knowledge Programme features two incredible speakers who will deliver keynote addresses that are guaranteed to engage all areas of the events industry.
Former CTO of Lonely Planet, Gus Balbontin is an executive, founder and investor with a deep understanding of disruption and business transformation. Balbontin will deliver one of the two keynotes, focusing on using the latest technological advancements to solve customer problems.
Joining him is Dr Kristy Goodwin, a renowned neuro-performance scientist.
Through cutting-edge science and neurotechnology, Dr Goodwin equips high-achievers with the tools to lead, live, and work more effectively in today’s digitally demanding environment.
Following these keynote presentations, the Knowledge Programme continues with insightful breakout sessions, equipping delegates with fresh perspectives and actionable strategies for success in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Attendees can choose from 20 breakout presentations across two 60-minute sessions tailored to develop skills in four key categories: Upskilling, Workplace Management, Industry Matters, and Self-Leadership.
Topics range from the impact of consumer experience on event outcomes to maximising AI-human synergy and safeguarding creativity in the digital era.
Highlights include Hacking Focus: Rewiring Productivity for the ADHD Mind, an unmissable presentation that delves into the unique strengths and challenges of ADHD in the workplace, The Z Factor: How to Lead Gen Z in Your Teams and a panel discussion tackling the topic of Creating a Menopause-Friendly Workplace.
AIME Event Director Silke Calder says the Knowledge Programme has gone from strength to strength, with this year’s agenda set to provide unparalleled insights, inspiration and intelligence for event professionals.
“We are thrilled to have such inspirational and exciting industry leaders sharing their incredible insights and expertise across a full day of education and professional growth opportunities for attendees,” she says.
The Knowledge Programme is open to visitor buyers who upgrade their ticket.
Opportunities for professional development continue throughout AIME, with the Ideas Academy presented by Spice returning to the show floor, offering access to thought-provoking panel discussions and sessions.
Expert tips and real-world examples on how to get “maximum bang for your buck” and deliver events that wow on a limited budget, and “event crisis management” with insights on what to do when things don’t go as planned will be especially of interest to executive assistants.
Other highlights include sessions on Best Practice for Events Marketing and Social Media, Trends in Event Design, and Harnessing the Potential of AI.
Ideas Academy sessions will run throughout Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 February and are free for all attendees.
