IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific, that will be held in Bangkok, from 24 to 26 September, returns with new initiatives and educational sessions on more inclusive travel.

The upcoming 3-day in-person IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific 2024 offers a line-up of conferences and networking sessions that have been specially curated to meet the diverse needs and interests of delegates.

The conference sessions are tailored for different buyers and delegates, offering invaluable insights from industry experts. The CruiseXchange, a keynote by Ms. Patricia Yuen (Hong Kong Tourism Board), will address the evolution of cruise tourism in Hong Kong and will be followed by a fireside chat on mapping Asia’s cruise development and integrating land and sea programmes for meetings and incentives.

The opening keynote will discuss the future of events, with a focus on the advancement of AI applications and emerging trends reshaping the industry. And hosted by ICCA, the NextGen Leadership Exchange will explore developing young leaders in the MICE and corporate travel industries, offering youth perspectives and opportunities for building relationships with industry leaders.

The session about DEIBA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility) in the MICE Industry will highlight the benefits of inclusive practices. And the Corporate Travel Exchange, hosted by SAP Concur, will focus on making travel policies more inclusive for individuals with visible and non-visible medical needs, and how technology can facilitate this inclusivity.

Hosted by Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE), the SITE Incentive Track will focus on ‘Next Level Incentive Travel Incorporating Wellness into Traditional Models’ and look at how incentive travel has evolved into experiences that combine wellness and cultural immersion. The aim is to enhance employee performance and their well-being while they align with modern values of sustainability and work-life balance.

An ‘evening get-together’ will be an event of networking, collaboration, and celebration designed to be the perfect blend of business and leisure. Whether it’s catching up with old friends or meeting new colleagues, this evening promises a memorable experience filled with engaging conversations and potential partnerships.

The event will kick off with engaging pre-show activities aimed at enhancing the delegate experience: a pre-show city tour, hosted by the Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau, will offer delegates a unique opportunity to explore Bangkok’s vibrant culture and iconic landmarks; and a FAM Trip, hosted by Topgolf Megacity, will offer delegates the chance to unwind, network, and enjoy a unique golfing experience.

Whether they are seasoned or amateur golfers, Topgolf Megacity’s interactive environment promises delegates fun-filled experiences. More than just a golfing destination, the sports and entertainment complex is also a great space for team building, corporate meetings, product launches, and year-end parties.

IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific 2024 will take place at the Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, Thailand, from 24 to 26 September. Co-located with CTW Asia-Pacific (the leading corporate travel management conference for the Asia-Pacific), IT&CMA (the leading MICE event) is part of the IT&CM Events series organised by TTG Events.
