IMEX 2011
It took me 20 hours to get to Las Vegas Nevada for IMEX 2011. This year’s IMEX America was the first for Las Vegas. About 8,000 people from 140 countries attended the show for the three day conference on events, meetings and incentive travel. The show started on Tuesday 11th of October 2011. Walking through The Venetian Hotel where the exhibition was located was tough. Basically to get to the exhibition you had to walk through the casino and in las Vegas casino’s are not your average casino’s . The size of most casino’s in Las Vegas are as big as a football field.
