Exhibition and Education. IT&CM India has already attracted registration from some 330 international and Indian buyers, and close to 90 international and Indian media. The interest in the event is attributed to the growing focus on India as a MICE destination, as well as the line up of exhibitors that have signed on to be part of the event’s maiden showcase. IT&CM India plans to deliver high on the education front as well. The event will be held in conjunction with India Convention Promotion Bureau’s (ICPB) 7th Conventions India Conclave. In addition, the event will offer reputed international certification courses to participants, such as the Fundamentals of Business Travel Management CourseTM by Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) and the Professional Association Executive (PAE) Course, a competency course for association professionals featuring course content by the Australasian Society of Association Executives (AuSAE) and the Canadian Society of Association Executives (CSAE). Said Mr. Darren Ng, Managing Director of TTG Asia Media, “Education is a key factor in a market that is growing as rapidly as India’s MICE and luxury travel market. Through ICPB’s Conventions India Conclave, and our long standing partnerships with GBTA, AuSAE and CSAE, we confident of creating an event that is as valuable as it is relevant.” The education component will also feature the IMEX-MPI-MCI Future Leaders Forum which will give undergraduate students the chance to hear, first hand, from some of the most respected industry veterans, as they share insights about a career in the travel industry.
