On September 24, there will be two leadership sessions. The Global MICE Collaborative will present INSIDE MICE: Trends and Data for Strategic Decision-Making, providing a data-driven global industry perspective; while ICCA will lead Power of Collaboration: Building Stronger Connections for a Resilient Future, highlighting the role of cross-sector alliances in fostering innovation and sustainable growth.

PATA will also host a youth-focused session on September 25 titled Empowering the Next Generation of Tourism Leaders to help students develop essential skills for the tourism sector.
This year’s IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific will also see a new BizMatch and Meet segment, a series of five-minute meetings designed to facilitate quick, focused business connections between buyers and exhibitors.
