The Americas Incentive, Business Travel & Meetings Exhibition
Call for Speaker Papers 2012

AIBTM is the leading global exhibition dedicated to the US Business Travel Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events industry (otherwise known as BT MICE). Each June we bring together the world’s entire meetings and events industry in Baltimore for three days of focussed business.

AIBTM is committed to delivering a world class educational experience which forms an integral part of AIBTM and America Meetings Week. Together with the leading associations we deliver a series of trend-driven and cutting edge conferences, forums and workshops which are specifically designed to meet the needs of the industry.

AIBTM’s Professional Education Programme runs on the 19th June 2012, the day before the 2-day exhibition. The programme aims to provide an insight in to the current trends and challenges faced in the industry, with main themes to include:
- Trends in the Meetings Industry
- Personal development and accreditation
- Incentive travel and practical case studies
- Event Management and event planning
