The IMEX Group

The IMEX Group and the GCB have a long relationship which dates to the launch of IMEX in Frankfurt in 2003. When the GCB made the decision to incorporate its Meetings Made in Germany event into the IMEX trade show, it was a turning point for the German meetings, incentive travel and business events market.
These two powerhouses - IMEX and the GCB – have worked together over the years to create a high-value, multi-cultural, in-person business event that attracts thousands of German-speaking and global buyers and suppliers to Messe Frankfurt each spring.
A trade show with additional programmes to meet every market need
IMEX offers both a bustling, business-centred three-day trade show and many tailor-made events and programmes designed for specialist groups including policymakers; corporate buyers; association buyers; agency buyers; future leaders; faculty and media. IMEX has also become the place where most of the industry’s biggest associations and agencies hold their annual meetings, chapter meetings and membership certifications.
Our vision: A world where good business transcends borders and oceans, where meeting planners can connect easily with suppliers across the globe and build powerful working relationships.
Our mission: Our sole aim is to unite and advance the meetings industry – doing everything we can to educate, innovate and help you make powerful connections with the right people.
