Melbourne is welcoming thousands of international and local buyers and exhibitors to the 2023 Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) this week, delivering major benefits to Victoria’s economy.
Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Steve Dimopoulos opened the AIME program today, welcoming business event professionals from more than 25 countries to Melbourne.
Staged annually, AIME is the leading trade event for the business events industry in the Asia Pacific region.
This year marks 30 years of AIME with the 2023 event to take place at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 13-15 February with support from the Andrews Labor Government.
Around 2,000 buyers, suppliers and event planners have gathered for three days of business, networking and education that will generate business for Victoria and other destinations in the region, an official press release said.
Over three decades, AIME has brought the business events community together to connect, learn and create business opportunities.
Research from the 2022 event showed that $120 million worth of business events were transacted as a result of AIME.
Melbourne has a strong track record in securing and delivering world-class business events, supported by elite event infrastructure, quality accommodation, accessible public transport and exciting city experiences.
MCB’s pipeline of business events for Melbourne is strong, with 141 international and national business events confirmed from now until 2028 set to fill more than 450,000 room nights—enough to fill the city 19 times over and contribute more than $895 million to Victoria’s visitor economy.
May 2023 is shaping up to be massive with 23 events scheduled to take place across the city including the Rotary International Convention, the International Conference on Software Engineering and SpineWeek, with close to 17,500 delegates expected across these three events alone.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
