MCI Group To Support Inaugural Association Day And Contribute To
Corporate Travel Education Programme At IT&CM Events. Each
Association Day expected to welcome some 40 international and local
Association buyers. TTG Events has teamed up with world leading
association & event management company MCI Group to bring
Association Day as well as an education segment on incentive travel to
each of the three IT&CM Events in Shanghai, China (IT&CM China),
Delhi, India (IT&CM India) and Bangkok, Thailand (IT&CMA and
CTW Asia-Pacific).
“Association Day was born in recognition
for the need of a focused and comprehensive association executive
programme consisting of tailored education, networking and structured
business engagement sessions for association decision makers. Exhibitors
at the IT&CM events are also very eager to explore business
opportunities with association buyers.” said Mr. Darren Ng, Managing
Director for TTG Asia Media. “In addition, all three IT&CM events
are committed to strengthening their relevance and appeal to Corporate
Travel professionals – another pivotal buyer group that our exhibitors
are looking to meet. Our partnership with MCI Group will go a long way
in achieving this duo-prong objective.
MCI
Group will be lending its expertise to two half-day educational tracks.
Topics will be catered specifically to attending association buyers and
corporate travel professionals focused on Incentive Travel/Performance
Improvement . The educational tracks for these two delegate groups will
run concurrently alongside each other, with allocated slots for business
appointments and networking with exhibitors at the event.
Familiar
with organising educational programmes the world over, MCI Group views
this partnership as a major opportunity to engage association and
corporate travel executives and discuss the growth of their industry in
Asia.
“Through the very nature of their job, association and corporate
travel executives are isolated and have limited opportunities to
interact and meet with peers who face the same strategic and operational
challenges and issues. Each IT&CM Association Day and incentive
travel education segment by MCI Group offers a unique opportunity for
these association buyers and corporate travel executives to network with
like-minded professionals and share issues and concerns they have in
their own organisation, and learn best practices from experts in the
field.” explains Robin Lokerman, President Asia Pacific & Americas
of MCI Group.
He adds, “MCI group is looking to educate association buyers and
corporate travel executives on best practices in association and
incentive travel management respectively and the latest trends in Asia
during our two half-day tracks. Expect a highly interactive programme
focusing on key Asian issues of immediate concern and relevance. From a
keynote session, to expert panel discussions of clients and round-table
discussions, the different meeting formats employed will allow all
participants to contribute and learn.”
Through this partnership, MCI Group now joins Global Business Travel
Association (GBTA) as the second organisation to contribute towards the
IT&CM events’ corporate travel education programme.
The Association Competency Course for Professional Association
Executives conducted by the Australasian Society of Association
Executives (AuSAE) and Canadian Society of Association Executives (CSAE)
will continue to be offered at IT&CM China and IT&CMA and CTW
Asia-Pacific as part of its Association Day programme.
In
its inaugural year, each Association Day is expected to see some 40
international and local association professional attending.
Each IT&CM event value adds differently as the profile mix of
attending exhibitors and buyers are different. IT&CMA and CTW
Asia-Pacific is regional and international centric, while IT&CM
China and IT&CM India places a balance mix of international and
domestic Chinese and Indian delegates respectively.
The first Association Day and Corporate Travel education programme
will take place at IT&CM China 2013 on 18 April 2013. More
information on these events will be released in the upcoming weeks.
