IMEX America exits Las Vegas from 2021
The IMEX Group will move its IMEX America show from Las Vegas to Mandalay Bay from 2021 through to 2025.

IMEX Group chairman Ray Bloom acknowledged the support the team at Sands Expo Las Vegas had given the show since well before its launch in 2011, and said he was looking forward to four more successful shows with venue until 2020.

Bloom explained that the move was necessary as IMEX America was unable to “lock in space from 2021 onward” at the Sands Expo Las Vegas.

“We look forward to establishing successful partnerships with the Mandalay Bay and MGM Resorts International teams, and we know that their world-class facilities will be an equally fitting home for the show,” he concluded.
