IMEX America 2026 · Mandalay Bay

IMEX America 2026 video and podcast booth in Las Vegas.

IMEX America fills Mandalay Bay with the people who decide where meetings and incentive trips happen. Buyers walk the floor on pre-booked appointments, so every exhibitor is competing for the same few minutes. Content shot at your stand keeps working long after the appointment ends.

  • Hosted-buyer conversations recorded as podcast segments, with the buyer's permission

Planning

Before you get to the floor.

  • Appointments are booked ahead at IMEX, so build the filming schedule around them. Ask a few buyers in advance if they will sit for a short recorded conversation.
  • Mandalay Bay is a big building. If you want a podcast booth inside your stand, plan its corner and power with your stand builder before move-in.
  • Planners love proof. Footage of your team running a real session or tasting is worth more than a logo loop on a screen.
