IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific 2026 has expanded its education programme for their upcoming event from September 22 to 24 at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld.
Backed by destination partner Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau, the updated lineup introduces specialised learning tracks, corporate travel initiatives, and experiential networking designed for the MICE and business travel sectors.
A key highlight for the 2026 edition will be the dedicated cruise panel, Cruising into MICE: Innovative Event Solutions at Sea. It will feature leaders from Crystal Cruises, Lindblad Expeditions, and Worldwide Cruise Associates discussing how ships and river vessels can serve as alternative venues for corporate events.
The event also brings back the Global MICE Collaborative Certificate Session – jointly run by IAEE, MPI, and SITE – to deliver core professional development, while the opening keynote panel brings together speakers from Siam University, Creative Travel India, and Trip.Biz Thailand to discuss the value of in-person corporate events.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to participate in experiential activities, such as a Blue Elephant Cooking School class, and Lost Plate evening food tour.
On the corporate travel front, CTW Asia-Pacific has renewed its partnership with the Global Business Travel Association to introduce a dedicated spin-off stage and the CTW Hub pavilion for targeted buyer-supplier networking. Technology infrastructure for the event will be powered by EventsAir, and registration is now open.
