IAEE Partners with NoteAffect to Elevate Expo! Expo! 2025 Learning Experiences

The International Association of Exhibitions and Events® (IAEE) and NoteAffect are pleased to announce a collaborative partnership that integrates event-engage AI-powered learning tools as part of the attendee experience at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition 2025.

The exhibitions and events industry is evolving at a fast pace due to economic and geopolitical challenges, shifting demographics, and rising attendee expectations – all of which are changing how organizers create valuable event experiences. As the industry’s leading voice, IAEE is committed to driving innovation in areas where it can make a direct impact, with education leading the way.

“We must move beyond the traditional conference model and the standard playbook by embracing innovative tools that amplify the learning experience,” said IAEE Vice President of Learning Experiences Stacy Powers, CEM. “It’s essential to not only engage today’s audience but attract the next generation of industry professionals. By doing so, we ensure the future vitality of live events through creating dynamic, immersive experiences that inspire, connect and educate like never before.”

Education consistently ranks among the top reasons for attending Expo! Expo!. This partnership with innovator and thought leader, NoteAffect, allows IAEE to showcase how events can deliver an unforgettable learning experience on a limited budget to ensure attendee satisfaction and long-term success.

“Regardless of the challenges events are facing, attendees still need to learn,” added NoteAffect Founder and CEO Jay Tokosch. “Their education experience has become an important anchor that events can leverage to drive attendance and keep them coming back year after year.”

Expo! Expo! is not just a trade show, it is ONE EPIC EVENT which redefines how education is experienced at events. This year’s Expo! Expo! takes place 8-10 December at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas and promises to fulfill this charge at the highest level with the most innovative format ever created.
