The inaugural edition of IBTM Asia Pacific will now take place September 6-7, 2022, at Marina Bay Sands, following a decision to postpone the event from April 5-6, 2022.

The debut event for the region was earlier postponed twice due to pandemic concerns.

IBTM Asia Pacific is expected to welcome exhibitors from over 40 countries, as well as pre-qualified hosted buyers and visitors, who will be involved with one-on-one business meetings, as well as attend educational programmes, and networking sessions with peers.

This event will be coupled with the first edition of Singapore MICE Forum (SMF) X IBTM Asia Pacific, organised in partnership with the Singapore Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (SACEOS).

The SMF X IBTM Asia Pacific on September 5 will feature content to ensure delegates obtain insights needed to deliver show-stopping events.

Richard Ireland, SACEOS’ acting president, said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has made it abundantly clear that there is no better channel to do business, collaborate and educate than in-person events. And the region’s MICE industry has been longing for the opportunity to be able to come together and reconnect with high-quality suppliers, destinations, venues and buyers.

“The SMF x IBTM Asia Pacific will not only provide a safe and powerful platform to do so, but it will also showcase the region’s commitment and readiness towards the reopening of MICE travel and events,” he added.

IBTM Asia Pacific is the sister event to IBTM World and IBTM Americas.
