Global MICE Industry Gathers for Landmark Event at IT&CM Asia and CTW APAC 2023.
A vibrant blend of innovative destinations, iconic brands, and trailblazing MICE personalities are congregating at IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific 2023. Over three days, the event is set to attract more than 1,000 high-profile delegates from over 50 territories and nations.
This unparalleled confluence of MICE and corporate travel professionals is not just about numbers. It represents an energetic platform for learning, networking, and collaboration.
At the heart of the gathering, Asia Ability, a frontrunner in creative team-building, introduces its acclaimed ice-breaker, ‘Knowing Me Knowing You.’ It is a game not just for interaction but a catalyst designed for expanding networks, fostering potential partnerships, and cementing lasting professional bonds.
Attendees are in for an exclusive treat as key industry leaders from Pattaya MICE City, TCEB, Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute, Taiwan Tourism Bureau, and many others reveal their latest strides in the MICE arena.
However, the pulse of the event undoubtedly beats strongest around the CruiseXchange Keynote. Themed “The Big Cruise Comeback,” this seminal session delves deep into the post-pandemic renaissance of the cruise industry. Spearheaded by Diana Bloss and Crystal Campbell of Worldwide Cruise Associates, the conference will unfold the evolving landscape for MICE cruises in the imminent future.
Parallel to this, a riveting panel discussion christened ‘A New Way to Meet’ will illuminate the potential of cruises as transformative spaces for meetings and incentive sessions. The dialogue will revolve around the synergy between cruise lines and terrestrial operators.
On the experiential front, TCEB orchestrates an immersive journey through Thailand. With a dash of Augmented Reality, delegates will virtually traverse cityscapes from Bangkok to Khao Lak. “Thailand is relentlessly crafting a robust MICE platform, further enhancing our provincial capacities to cater to discerning business travellers,” remarked Mr Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, President of TCEB.
But it’s not just about business. A cultural soiree awaits attendees as Taiwan extends an invitation to its ‘Happy Hour.’ A tantalizing sneak peek into Taiwanese delights coupled with indispensable MICE insights.
The Buyer Incentive programme is the centrepiece for those with a competitive streak. From curated appointments to spontaneous engagements, top networkers are set to bag many coveted rewards.
The rendezvous culminates from 26th to 28th September at the illustrious Bangkok Convention Centre. For an in-depth peek into this MICE magnum opus, enthusiasts can navigate to www.itcma.com or www.corporatetravelworld.com/apac.
