Your AIBTM Road Map Why Baltimore?

America Meetings Week

Experience Business Without Distraction in This Charming, Accessible City.

Education Anyone?

Focused business means making the most out of time away from the office. That’s why Baltimore is the ideal venue for AIBTM 2012. Besides its close proximity to thousands of planners, the city’s convenient location, supportive community, high speed rail and international airports make it easy to get to.

A meeting planner’s paradise, Baltimore is a very walkable, pedestrianfriendly city. It’s an easy stroll from one of the many hotels to the convention center, making it very desirable for conducting business.

And when the business day is done, get swept away by the stunning views at the Inner Harbor, catch a ballgame at Camden Yards or wander around one of the city’s eclectic neighborhoods of Little Italy, Fells Point, Federal Hill or Mount Vernon.

What’s New in 2012?

Want More? You Got It. AIBTM Offers More Education, More Choices & More Attendees AIBTM 2011 set the bar high. In 2012, we’ll continue to raise it. How? Through a bigger show, enhanced programming and more flexibility. AIBTM 2012 will provide both travel and accommodations to all qualified Hosted Buyers. Due to popular demand, we’re also offering longer stays in Baltimore to accommodate those Hosted Buyers who want more time at the event. For buyers seeking a more in-depth destination experience in order to book events, official Post-Event Tours to multiple U.S. destinations will take place after the show. In addition, the show floor size and the number of Exhibitors will increase. Finally, we’re expanding our popular education program and adding more tracks. What won’t change?

The quality of our exceptional CEU-accredited education and its dedicated time allotment the day before the show and in the mornings prior to appointments. Did you know last year many of our cutting-edge workshops and seminars were standing room only? At AIBTM, you’ll never have to make the choice between professional development and fulfilling your commitment.

What Will You Experience at AIBTM? Unparalleled Education…VIP Treatment…Focused Business Here is what you can expect from AIBTM 2012: A dynamic educational program, interactive learning and engaging speakers converge during our world-class CEU-accredited education day (Tuesday, June 19) A rocking welcome party, Hosted Buyer-only reception and multiple networking events and opportunities 2 full days devoted solely to the exhibition and one-to-one prescheduled appointments (June 20-21)

How Is AIBTM Different?

The Industry Has Evolved. Join the Revolution It’s harder than ever to justify ROI and time spent away from the office.

Until AIBTM appeared on the scene and offered a proven business solution.

Several elements set AIBTM apart from other events. First, all appointments are buyer driven. You’ll meet one-on-one with Exhibitors that you choose to meet with. Second, our comprehensive Hosted Buyer program allows you to have your cake and eat it too. Attend our event for free so you can still attend other events you’ve budgeted for. Lastly, AIBTM places a strong emphasis on continuing education sessions and networking opportunities. The event is planned with the perfect balance of effective business, learning and socializing.

Meet With Exhibitors of Your Choice. Period.

The popular format of pre-scheduled one-to-one appointments makes the most efficient use of your time on the show floor. Connect with top-notch Exhibitors from around the world and make business happen— on your terms. We will never put Exhibitors into your schedule. Simply select the Exhibitors you would like to meet with and we will match your preferences with Exhibitor availability. Each Hosted Buyer will have a customized schedule of eight quality one-to-one appointments per day plus one destination presentation.

This means no sitting through appointments you don’t choose with suppliers you will never do business with. And of course, you’ll still get walk-by opportunities on the floor in order to seek out specific suppliers.

CEU-Accredited Education: An Integral Component to AIBTM A Day Dedicated Solely To Your Education: Mark Your Calendars For June 19, 2012 As a meeting planner, you pride yourself on knowing what’s en vogue.

That’s why AIBTM has dedicated an entire day to your education and professional development—at no cost to you. Earn CEUs the day before the exhibition starts and in the mornings prior to your appointments.

Trend-driven and cutting-edge conferences, forums and workshops are specifically designed with your needs in mind and will be offered in conjunction with PCMA, SITE, ACTE, ICCA, IAEE, CIC and MPI. Through America Meetings Week, we have created a world-class educational experience. No matter your interests, experience or skill level, there will be an education track for you.

Exclusive Networking Opportunities Socializing, Business and Entertainment Go Hand-In-Hand at AIBTM At AIBTM, we’re all about effective business—and exciting networking events. Circulate amongst your peers at our exclusive, invitation-only Hosted Buyer Networking Night designed for you to unwind in style before you hit the ground running on the exhibition floor the next day.

Mingle at industry-wide receptions and functions that will extend your relationships well beyond the show floor into the future. Through both formal and informal opportunities, you’ll socialize in a relaxed, professional environment. We’re people connectors, and bringing the industry together is a priority at AIBTM. After all, relationships rule our industry.

Networking opportunities abound at AIBTM.

Why Choose AIBTM? 100% Individually Qualified Buyers, One-To-One Appointments, Exceptional Education Tracks AIBTM provides the perfect business forum for presenting your products, services and brands. The innovative format of AIBTM and its programming attracts senior level, pre-qualified planners who have demonstrated extensive buying history. These planners have the authority to organize, influence and make budgetary decisions for future national or international meetings, events, conventions and incentive travel programs. AIBTM attributes its success to 5 distinct components: 1. 100% Individually Qualified Buyers: The Hosted Buyer program attracts, targets and accepts only prestigious, senior level planners who are looking to place business domestically and internationally.

You’ll have multiple opportunities to interact with these buyers: during appointments, through traditional trade show walk-by traffic and at receptions and parties.

2. One-To-One Business Appointments: AIBTM requires that Hosted Buyers agree to a minimum of 8 Exhibitor appointments per day plus one destination presentation—more than many other shows require. And the best part? You won’t be walking in the door with a blank slate. The appointments are confirmed in advance, giving Exhibitors a calendar of quality business meetings with potential clients even before the event starts.

3. Hundreds of trade buyers attend AIBTM on their own terms: Hundreds of buyers who cannot (or choose not to) accept complimentary travel and accommodations eagerly attend AIBTM looking to do business. As an Exhibitor, you’ll get the best of both worlds with pre-set appointments and traditional networking with walk-by traffic. Trade buyers are the icing on the cake!

4. Outstanding Educational Programming: 90% of AIBTM education is CEU accredited. Both Exhibitors and Planners are invited to participate in our dedicated education day Tuesday, June 19, 2012.

Our careful scheduling ensures there are no conflicts with Exhibition hours. Plus, this gives you one more chance to meet and learn alongside senior planners.

5. Abundant Networking Opportunities: Socializing, business and entertainment go hand-in-hand at AIBTM. Through both formal and informal opportunities, you’ll network in a relaxed, professional environment. It’s not what you know, it’s who you meet.

As if that weren’t enough, several other benefits make exhibiting at AIBTM a no-brainer: Take advantage of a comprehensive, large-scale event: AIBTM is not a niche show. It’s more than that. By providing an all-encompassing exhibition that attracts senior planners of all types-corporate, association, incentive and third party/agency-you get more ROI and value.

Achieve fast market penetration: Reach a large proportion of the market in a short period of time. Achieve more in 3 days at AIBTM than might otherwise take months.

Establish your company as a key player: Connect with current, former and potential clients and increase your brand exposure.

Find buyers who plan globally: Our Hosted Buyers come to AIBTM eager to meet with global suppliers as 62% plan meetings around the world. The quality of our international exhibitors is one of their main reasons for attending.

Get the benefit of a credible show: AIBTM is an audited show.

You’ll never get inflated numbers, statistics or measurements from the organizers.

Do better business: Face-to-face meetings are the most persuasive form of selling and building customer relationships. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.

Maximize your sales and marketing efforts accurately and cost-efficiently: Meet with individually qualified, highly targeted buyers in one place at one time Get added value from key association players: With association participation from PCMA, SITE, ACTE, ICCA, IAEE, CIC and MPI, you know you’re getting gold standard value.

What Is A Hosted Buyer?

Ways To Exhibit

How AIBTM Targets—And Attracts—the Industry’s Top Buyers

Exhibit at AIBTM No Matter Your Budget

A Hosted Buyer is a pre-qualified client who has the potential to organize, influence or make budgetary decisions for meetings and events. If a Hosted Buyer has been approved to attend AIBTM, it means this individual has undergone a rigorous pre-qualification screening to ensure he or she has the business to place and the authority to do so.

There are a variety of ways your organization can participate as an Exhibitor at AIBTM 2012. Review the options below and contact us today to book your booth.

As the Main Booth Holder, choose one of the following booth and furniture options. All booths are sold in increments of 100 square feet: Where will our 2012 Hosted Buyers come from?

Corporate Meeting Planners (CMP)

Association Planners

25% 40% 35%

Third Party Agency (inc Incentive Houses)

S pace Only: Purchase your exhibit space and supply your own unique booth.

Shell Schemes: Purchase your exhibit space and add the shell scheme option of your choice (standard or basic). Shell schemes offer an attractive cost-effective alternative to traditional pipe-and-drape.

Furniture packages: Furniture packages are available for all booths.

At the bare minimum, we recommend a table and chair set-up so your Hosted Buyer appointments take place in a more structured meeting environment.

Exhibiting Partner

The quality of our Hosted Buyer program is what sets AIBTM apart. AIBTM targets, attracts, and accepts only top individually qualified buyers with serious business to place. You won’t be wasting your time—or your marketing dollars—with unqualified buyers seeking freebies.

After a thorough screening process, AIBTM brings these top buyers to Baltimore by offering first-rate travel, accommodation and VIP benefits.

In return, Hosted Buyers agree to meet one-on-one with a pre-determined number of Exhibitors at the event. This guarantees to the Hosted Buyers that they are getting the best return for their time away from the office along with preserving their travel budgets.

Trade Buyers at AIBTM Trade Buyers + Hosted Buyers = Thousands of Planners Ready For Business

AIBTM 2012

Main Booth Holder

Have we mentioned the fact that hundreds of planners come to AIBTM as trade visitors? Separate from Hosted Buyers, these trade buyers make their own travel arrangements and come to the show on their own terms. They come specifically looking to interact with Exhibitors to get business done.

The combination of trade buyers and Hosted Buyers literally puts thousands of potential business leads right in your hands.

www.aibtm.com/exhibiting

As a Main Booth Holder, you have the opportunity to bring partners to participate in your booth. Not only will this help you better sell your destination, it also enhances your brand and represents strength in numbers that impress buyers. Exhibiting Partners will receive their own appointment diary and run their own meetings with this costeffective option.

Destination Presentations Destination exhibitors with booths of 400 square feet or more will have the opportunity to present to a small group of buyers (approximately 12 at a time). The “group” is made up of qualified individual buyers that are specifically interested in running meetings or incentive programs in your region.

“The Site International Board of Directors is focused on the fact that the conversations we have today will have an impact on our business of tomorrow.

Site is excited about its partnership with AIBTM and America Meetings Week because we believe the co-location of Site Academy for Young Leaders plus additional Site seminars and networking opportunities will be of great value for our members and colleagues in the motivational events and incentive travel industry.”

Allison Summers, Managing Director for Site
