IME Consulting Co., Ltd. organized a Chinese buyer’s group to participate in IT&CM Asia

After a lapse of three years, IME Consulting Co., Ltd as the leader of the China meeting & incentive industry once again led the Chinese buyers group to participate in the IT&CM Asia Pacific Business travel show. On the first day, the buyers visited the QSNCC International Conference Center, which opened just one year after the reconstruction and will also be the venue for the ICCA2023 Congress this November. Thank QSNCC for providing us a special visit to the venue and dinner opportunity to communicate and discuss what we can do together. When we meet, magic happens!
 

IME Consulting Co., Ltd organized a team to actively support the IT&CM Asia exhibition and Forum, not only invited more than 20 Chinese industry buyers to participate in the exhibition, Alicia Yao, managing director of IME Consulting was invited as the industry top leader to participate in the "Association's Road to Success: An Innovation Roadmap to Excellence" seminar held at the IT&CM Asia Knowledge Sharing Center on September 28, 2023. As a sharing guest, she introduced the changes of China's association meeting industry in the last three years of the epidemic, the changes of association management and association meeting and event management, the direction of change which was affected to the new situation and new business environment.

The pre-conference exchange and opening forum at IT&CM Asia gave us a glimpse of the trends and future of the business event industry. IT&CM Asia's Association Day addressed major issues in the industry: The changes to the Association's revenue or budget plans in the new environment? How to define the diversity of association income? What is the source of the association's income? How do association buyers select meeting destinations, and how do they meet the requirements of association buyers to attract meetings from the perspective of the Convention Bureau? How is association management changing in Europe? What are the three major changes for association meeting service providers to maintain a competitive edge? How to provide sustainable development for the associations? What are the latest trends and innovations in sustainable event management? Does the association have a different view on hiring a PCO, and is hiring a third party likely to reduce the income of the association's meetings? Should conference service providers be considered partners or suppliers? How does the Convention Bureau/Tourist Board add value to the association or international buyers at the different stages of choosing a destination? How can European venues, PCOs and convention bureaus deliver value to their international buyers? ... and so on.
