A stellar line-up of sector leaders confirmed to discover the latest trends moving the events industry at the inaugural ICE Conference

The Incentive Conference & Event Society – ICE – is delighted to introduce the inaugural ICE Conference, taking place in Bali on the 12th -14th November. Founded on the ICE society’s core beliefs, this industry event will deliver engagement between the different levels of the industry, keeping the corporate clients feedback and input at the very centre, thus building an opportunity to learn the latest trends and tools to help streamline MICE business. With an ever increasing focus on key negotiation processes being made from offices in Asia, who are dealing directly with local vendors and service providers, strategy to manage so many events and requirements in the region is becoming a balancing act for those responsible.

With a stellar line up of senior industry speakers, the two day conference will be made up of keynote presentations and industry panels covering integral topics such as the latest trends in the MICE industry, the Corporate Buyers’ outlook for 2015, effective negotiation for MICE group contracting and crisis management strategies amongst others. Within the speaker delegation we can confirm Simon Cooper, President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Marriott International; Herve Joseph-Antoine, CEO, Pacific World; Bert Li, Associate Director of AV and Events Production, Amway; David Litteken, Managing Director, APJ, BI Worldwide; Robin Lokerman, Group President, MCI; James Reed, CEO, Destination Asia; Fon Sia, General Manager, Singapore, Grass Roots Group; and John Toomey, Vice President Global Sales Asia Pacific, Marriott International to name but a few.

We shall be holding the inaugural event at The Stones, Bali, situated on the southern tip of Legian Beach and just 20 minutes from the airport. The format of the event is comprised of Welcoming Cocktails on Wednesday 12th November at a sunset setting, and after a full day of networking and informative industry discussions on Thursday ,delegates will enjoy an evening of dinner and entertainment.
