IMEX occurs every year in late spring in Frankfurt, Germany. Regent Exhibitions Ltd. brings each edition to the modern space of Messe Frankfurt for a total of three days in May.

The annual event is open only to trade visitors and doors open from 10:00 am in the morning until 18:00 pm in the afternoon. The only exception is the last day, which closes at 16:30 pm.

There are several partners that make IMEX as successful as it is, chief among which is GCB.

Messe Frankfurt gives visitors several options in terms of transport. The easiest way would be to drive, but you can also rely on transfer services from the airport as well the metro, suburban train system and the tram.

IMEX has established itself as a natural meeting point for industry insiders within Germany and the rest of Europe. The numbers are especially pleasing for exhibitors as there are more than 3500 international exhibitors to an audience that regularly exceeds 7000 professionals. The hosted buyer program alone is responsible for over 3800 buyers, whose sole motivation for attendance is to make big purchases.

As far as professional backgrounds go, the audience represents hotels, incentive and event agencies, convention centers, meeting and conference planners as well as event companies. Exhibitors can target a variety of markets. The majority of hosted buyers come from countries in Europe – Spain, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland, but you can also meet buyers from USA, Brazil, China and India as the international markets outside Europe with the highest concentration.
