A SERIES of intimate interviews with personalities from around the globe, produced by Saxton Speakers Bureau, will be a highlight at AIME this year.
The Saxton Up Close and Personal sessions, held over six sessions on February 23 and 24, will provide attendees with in-depth knowledge and first-hand accounts of international business, the meaning of courage, entrepreneurship and technology, connectivity in the world, small business innovation and the high performance team.
Nanette Moulton, director of Saxton Speakers Bureau, said the line-up of speakers was thoughtfully curated to deliver an engaging programme.
“Set to inspire and delight, these sessions are a unique way for the business events community to get up close and personal with renowned international speakers on topics that really matter.
“We are delighted to showcase the talents of Richard Gerver, who is coming from the UK. His transformative approach to leading change and innovation will offer unique insights for the business events community.
“Plus, Australia’s embodiment of inspiration, Turia Pitt, will share her incredible story of drive, determination and persistence after receiving burns to 65% of her body in 2011 and recovering from more than 200 operations. Her ‘never give up’ motto will inspire change in every visitor,” said Moulton.
Ian Wainwright, event director – AIME, Reed Travel Exhibitions, expressed delight in partnering with Saxton to deliver these stories as part of the annual tradeshow’s AIME Knowledge Program.
“The AIME Knowledge Program centres on seven key themes, including Inspiration from Outside; Saxton speakers come from outside the business events industry and will share challenges, motivations and successes from a variety of personal and professional scenarios,” said Wainwright.
He added that the Saxton Up Close and Personal sessions provide “a great opportunity for those in the business events industry who regularly seek new and inspiring talents for events of all shapes and sizes”.
AIME 2016 wil be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
