The Covid-19 pandemic has made it abundantly clear that there is no better channel to do business, collaborate and educate than face-to-face events. And the region’s MICE industry has been longing for the opportunity to be able to come together and reconnect with high quality suppliers, destinations, venues and buyers. The SMF x IBTM Asia Pacific will not only provide a safe and powerful platform to do so, but it will also showcase the region’s commitment and readiness towards the reopening of MICE travel and events.”
