06 January 2011, Sydney: To celebrate the New Year and the release of AIME’s extensive Education Program, the organisers of AIME 2011 are pleased to announce a one week extension on ‘early-bird’ savings for those who register for the AIME Master Class Seminars, Leaders Forums and the Business Events Forum before the 14 January 2011.
AIME’s ‘early-bird’ offer means people will pay 2010 prices when booking before the 14 January. This saves over 17% when booking a Master Class Seminar and over 15% when booking a Leaders or Business Events Forum. Also AIME attendees can gain a further 10% discount when booking three or more seminars and forums.
Ray Shaw, Chairman of Event Planners Australia is speaking in AIME’s Legal Master Class and comments, “AIME is Australia’s biggest gathering of meeting and event industry minds. Apart from hundreds of exhibitors there is a wealth of education and networking opportunities. I always take away inspiration from AIME – how to do my job better, who I need to know (especially the up and coming companies and people) and what issues we need to address in the coming year. It’s a must attend event.”
