This year we concentrated on adding elements for senior planners in particular and on providing a wider variety of learning formats. We\u2019ve also adapted some of our education areas to increase capacity. Post-show and year-round feedback is incredibly useful in helping us formulate and plan the right tracks so that we deliver the education that people really want to receive, and find most valuable. We hope the industry is as excited about the fourth edition of IMEX America as we are\u2026.and there\u2019s still time to register, either online or in person by just turning up when the show starts.\u201d
