Top level executives from the Asia Pacific region will come together to discuss key challenges in today’s macro business environment at the inaugural AIME Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Summit.

The summit will be held during the Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo (AIME) in Melbourne, on February 26.

Summit Chair, Elizabeth Rich, said this event is a departure from advocacy-based industry forums, to focus on business issues that are front of mind of C-level executives.

The event will be moderated by Yeoh Siew Hoon, founder and editor of Web in Travel.

“The first CEO Summit at AIME will enable business events leaders to discuss and find common ground on issues and trends beyond the industry,” said Yeoh. 

“My aim is to draw out insights on growth and innovation that will help CEOs in today’s competitive and changing times, and for them to share experiences and ideas.”

She will be joined by two expert commentators – leading economist, Jonathan Pain, and Peter Williams, CEO of Deloitte Centre for the Edge, Australia. Both will share their insights into where the world is heading and inspire CEOs to reflect on their own business directions and rethink traditional approaches.

Pain will share his expert knowledge on growth opportunities and where money is going to be made over the next decade.

Williams will lead a discussion on innovation, covering the changing world of virtual and physical connectivity, and how smart leaders should be rethinking how they respond to changing customer and employee values, leverage virtual flow and drive innovation in a way that delivers better results.

The AIME CEO Summit, an invitation only event, will begin with a networking lunch and conclude with networking drinks at the Future Events Experience stand on the show floor.

AIME will take place from February 26-27 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
