Where $3 billion of buying power meets $15 billion of selling power.
A working voyage, not a conference: four days at sea with the people who decide, the whole programme included. 250 staterooms, by invitation only.
A voyage, not a show floor.
The most valuable relationships in this industry cannot be built between appointments. Rushed meetings, crowded floors, conversations cut short, then everyone flies home. AIM Voyage exists to give those relationships time: four days aboard a five star Celebrity ship, with strategic learning, wellbeing, real connection and celebration built into one programme.
No booths. No badge scans. No fighting for attention between sessions. You engage: collaborative sessions, curated conversation and intentional networking with the people who decide. The conversations do not reset each morning. They compound.
What is AIM Voyage 2027?
AIM Voyage 2027 is an invitation only networking summit at sea for the promotional products industry, hosted by AIM Smarter, an Altitude Group company. It sails aboard Celebrity Reflection, round trip from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, boarding at 11:00 AM on 5 April 2027 and returning on 9 April 2027, with 250 staterooms in total. The distributors on board direct around $3 billion of annual buying power, and the suppliers alongside them represent over $15 billion of selling power. The itinerary runs Fort Lauderdale, a day at sea, Key West, then Conference Day at Baha Mar in Nassau, before the return to Fort Lauderdale. Fares start at $918 per person, double occupancy, in US dollars, and include the full conference programme, the Premium Beverage Package, high speed Starlink WiFi, all meals in complimentary venues, entertainment and curated experiences ashore. Attendance is by invitation or by personally approved reservation.
Authentic Connection. Deep human connection over transactions.
Holistic Wellbeing. Personal renewal, clarity and energy.
Professional Empowerment. Strategic learning you can use at once.
Vibrant Social. Vibrant social interaction that bonds.
By invitation.
250 staterooms. Distributors are invited by the suppliers who value them, or reserve directly. Suppliers join as partners. Decorators and other service providers join by application.

“I have grown my business 57% since last year, and I've achieved that by partnering with AIM.”
“One of the beauties of the AIM family is that it allows us to remain in control of our business while giving us the confidence to say yes to orders we wouldn't otherwise be able to take on.”
“We feel like AIM is a partner, not just a vendor, but a partnership that we share.”
Built around four ways to grow.
The whole voyage stands on these four. Tap any one to see what it holds.
Authentic Connection
Real relationships move business. Everything here is built to start them and let them deepen, away from the noise of a show floor.
Small-table dinners
Seated, curated, no pitch. The conversations that begin over dinner are the ones that last.
Curated introductions
We connect the right people on purpose, matched on what they are building.
Fireside conversations
Honest, off the record sessions with operators who have done it.
No-pitch lounges
Spaces where selling is off the table and the talking is real.
Holistic Wellbeing
Wellbeing is not a side activity here. The calm and energy you build is the same calm and energy you carry into every decision about your business and your life.
Yoga and pilates
Sunrise on the top deck. Strength and stillness to set the tone for the day.
Breathwork and meditation
Practical techniques for focus and composure you can use long after you disembark.
Spa and the Persian Garden
Heat, water and quiet. Time to switch off so the good ideas can surface.
Recovery and nutrition
Simple, evidence-led habits that compound into how you show up and perform.
Professional Empowerment
The platforms shaping demand, in the room. Keynotes, masterclasses and peer roundtables built to send you home with an edge, not a tote bag.
Platform keynotes
Leaders from Google, Disney, Claude, LEGO and Empire on how the next buyer discovers and decides.
Retail and CPG voices
What the brands are buying next, from the people deciding it.
AI and growth labs
Hands-on sessions to put new tools to work in a real business, not in theory.
Peer roundtables
Small groups, shared problems, candid answers from people who have solved them.
Vibrant Social
The fun that bonds. Music, celebration and shared adventure, because the best relationships are forged when people are genuinely enjoying themselves.
Sunset deck sessions
The day winds down, the music starts, the real conversations begin.
Themed dinners and live music
Evenings designed to be remembered, with the whole group together.
Shared adventures ashore
Excursions that put people side by side, where lasting bonds are made.
The celebration
One unforgettable night that sends everyone home talking until next year.
Four days, carefully programmed.
The shape of the voyage, from the route to the room. Detail lands here as the programme is confirmed.
Itinerary
Five to nine April 2027, round trip from Fort Lauderdale aboard Celebrity Reflection.
Event Program
A day by day programme balancing strategic sessions, wellbeing, connection and celebration. Published as sessions and facilitators are confirmed.
Brand Partners
Our Brand Partners sit at the very top of the AIM supplier programme, the names our members buy from every day. On the voyage they lead from the front: their people on board, their brands across the experience, their customers in the room.
A small number of Brand Partner and sponsor places remain for 2027. The earlier a brand commits, the deeper its presence runs, from the programme to the decks.
Third party brand names and marks are the property of their respective owners and appear for identification only. Their use does not imply affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement.
Speakers and Activations
Three keynote panels ashore at Baha Mar with the people shaping demand, from the platforms to the brands, then brand activations that bring each theme to life.

Conference Day at Baha Mar.
On day four the ship docks in Nassau and the conference moves ashore to Baha Mar. Three keynote panels with the people shaping demand, then back on board as the night opens up.

Then back on board
Back on board, the showcase
The ship becomes a showcase for the evening. The newest product, hands on, with the people who make it.
Sponsor speciality dining
A sponsor takes over a whole restaurant venue for the night, their own speciality dining, and invites their guests. Their room, their evening.
The Retreat, later
Everyone comes back together in The Retreat as the night settles. The bar, the sundeck, the people you met today.
The Retreat, exclusively ours.
Four days aboard Celebrity Reflection, a five star ship, with The Retreat reserved entirely for the group. Private dining, a private lounge and sundeck, and the most elevated experience at sea. Part of Celebrity's 250 million dollar Renewed modernisation.

The decision makers together for four days. The distributors on board direct around three billion dollars of annual buying power, and the suppliers alongside them, the absolute leading global suppliers, represent over fifteen billion of selling power. AIM Voyage is not an event you sponsor. It is a platform your business can use: your guests, your space, your programme, your presence across the whole experience. You decide who belongs in the room. Your list, your relationships, your call. Open to partners across promotional products, retail, technology and CPG brands.
Captain Partner
The defining partnership. Exclusive, immersive and named across the voyage, with the deepest access to every room.
First Officer Partner
Executive visibility with meaningful hospitality, hosted experiences and branded activations across the voyage.
Navigator Partner

Need something different? Bespoke partnerships are designed around your goals, for teams of 2 to 20 guests.
