The Meeting Place provides a dedicated space within the Exhibition Hall for delegates to connect, collaborate, and continue discussions beyond the conference sessions. It offers a comfortable setting for one-on-one meetings, small group catch-ups, networking conversations, and impromptu collaborations.

Whether you're reconnecting with existing partners or meeting someone new, the Meeting Place is designed to help bring the AIEC community together.

Drop in anytime. You never know who you might meet.
