The sheer size of the IMEX America show floor can be a bit intimidating, but here are some helpful ways for first-time attendees to enhance their time at the event and after hours:

“My No. 1 top tip will always be [to] wear comfortable shoes. The show floor is BIG! You’ll be walking around for your meetings and education sessions, and you’ll want to explore the many fun activities across the show floor. I love to wear that classic combo: sneakers and suits. It’s a great way to look smart and also be kind to your feet so that you can boogie at all the evening parties!”
Lottie Elson
Head of Marketing Operations

"As so much of the Vegas action is inside, seek out some daylight wherever you can. You can easily get from the show floor to the tranquil Mandalay Bay pool area."
Gillian Heath
Event Marketing Manager
IMEX Group
"Try the Las Vegas monorail. The Las Vegas monorail is super cool. It avoids the traffic, saves time and runs from Mandalay Bay, stopping at the Luxor then Excalibur—about a seven-minute trip. There are also other routes from other casinos along the Strip."
Suzanne Mulligan
Head of Engagement
IMEX Group
"I love exploring the Strip but, if you have time, go to Downtown Las Vegas. From a container park with a treehouse to great bars and restaurants, it's an experience unlike any other!"
