PACEOS heats up MICE education drive

THE PHILIPPINE Association of Convention/Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (PACEOS) will debut a new advanced MICE course in August to improve the quality and competence of local industry practitioners.

PACEOS president Monette Iturralde-Hamlin said the two-day MICE Savvy course, offered by the association’s learning division, the Philippine MICE Academy, will be held on August 16 and 17 at the SMX Convention Center in Manila. Training will be provided by industry experts, and non-PACEOS members are welcomed to enroll.

The course costs 8,000 pesos (US$189) person, and an early bird rate of 7,000 pesos is offered.

PACEOS also reaches out to fresh MICE practitioners through its MICE 101 course, which was held most recently in Manila. PACEOS has plans to take the training session to Cebu and Davao this year, and also to establish a chapter in each of the two cities before the year is over.

Iturralde-Hamlin added that a refresher course on MICE was also offered during every general membership meeting.

Meanwhile, the association is producing the Event Planners Manual, a guide to efficient and effective organisation of MICE events, which is expected to be ready in time for the MICE Savvy classes.
