MICE and corporate travel suppliers from Asia- Pacific and beyond can showcase their products and services to international buyers and corporate travel managers under one roof at IT&CMA/CTW 2007. It is also an opportunity for exhibitors to show an exciting and diverse range of destinations, products, itineraries and ideas to give buyers and their clients the experiences of their lifetime!

Q: For how long has IT&CMA and CTW been co-located, and what is the purpose of the co-location?
IT&CMA and CTW has been co-located since 2004.

By co-locating the two shows, this will definitely result in a bigger participation of exhibitors and attendance of delegates and visitors. It means time and cost savings for both suppliers and buyers in the industry.

Q: What are the programme highlights delegates can look forward to?
IT&CMA/CTW offer plenty of networking opportunities during its Friendly Golf Tournament and social events, such as hosted lunches and dinners, late-night functions, city tours and post-show familiarisation tours.

The tradeshow has an all-encompassing MICE and corporate travel exhibition where delegates will be pre-scheduled with business appointment with their desired clients and suppliers. It kicks off with a high-powered keynote session followed by two-days of conference seminars and certification sessions.

Last but not least, the annual Sticky Awards is a light-hearted "Oscars" whereby all delegates can vote and reward the most creative and unforgettable effort given by exhibitors to wow their audiences. Over the years, Sticky Awards has expanded its voting categories to reward the best buyer, speaker, function, and post-show tour as well!
