Today at IMEX
Start your IMEX Wednesday calm, refreshed and relaxed with morning meditation in the Well-being Lounge at 9:15am (Hall 9, Level 9.T), brought to you by Inner Sense and supported by Weichlein and Costa Rica DMC.
From 10:10 to 10:55am in the People and Planet Theater (Hall 9), hear from IMEX’s Rhiannon Phinbow and Tahira Endean as they’re joined by Ferron Gray from the Grae Matta Foundation and transformational career coach Pamella Onoriode. Together, they’ll share perspectives from the 70th Commission on the Status of Women, which they attended earlier this year at the UN in New York.
At 11am, join CityDNA at booth A130 (Hall 8) for a presentation on this year’s Summer School program. Discover what awaits in Dijon for this special anniversary edition and hear firsthand from a Summer School alumnus. Then head to London (booth B440) at 12pm for an aperitif to celebrate the Summer School’s 40th anniversary.
Or, explore the show floor through a design-thinking lens on a Wonder Walk led by Robert Dunsmore, Creative Director, Ideas Factory. Meet at the Inspiration Hub info desk at 11:05am to see how strategic design goes beyond visual appeal to tell brand stories, shape behavior and build emotional connection across the event environment.
In the age of AI, is there such a thing as original design? Absolutely—according to Originate Institute’s Sofya Abramchuk. From 12:30 to 12:55pm in Encore’s amazing Hall 9 space, she’ll share how to break free from repetitive, AI-generated event concepts.
Did someone say ice cream? IMEXscoop can never say no to a scoop (or two), so we’ll be dropping by Lufthansa booth B185 between 1 and 3pm for a refreshing sweet treat. And it wouldn’t be IMEX without stopping for Kõrero and Kaí at the New Zealand booth (F300 between 3 and 5pm).
If you’re lucky enough to have secured a spot on Messe Frankfurt’s immersive City of Wow tour at 5:30pm today, you’re in for a treat as they take you through 800 years of Frankfurt culture, creativity and city life.
Wednesday rounds out with the IMEX Gala, this week’s headline evening event, celebrating our wonderful global events community.
