TICA
ACTIVITIES
TICA Social Nite
A new initiative to allow ourselves to let our hair down and chill with industry friends.
This event was designed to let our business worries go for the evening so we can be inspired again by the roar of our laughters like we did in school on Friday, 1 September 2017 at SO
Sofitel Bangkok.
The 20th Convention Promotion Seminar (CPS) & Convention Exhibition (CONVEX) 2017 at Khon Kaen
TICA organised the Convention Promotion Seminar & Convention Exhibition (CPS & CONVEX) during 14-16 September, 2017 at the AVANI Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre,
which is the official venue in Khon Kaen. CPS & CONVEX is a biennial marketing initiative for organisers of conferences and exhibitions from the Government, Associations, and
State Enterprises.
The programme included seminars that touched on MICE-related topics to help organisers to better understand the dynamics of organising international conferences, the industry
support that is available and to encourage them to bid for more international conferences for Thailand. Another component of the programme at CONVEX is the table top displays
organized by TICA members of all categories to encourage further direct interaction with suppliers. The feedback has been positive – from both the organisers (buyers) and sellers’
(TICA members) perspectives.
