Said Darren Ng, Managing Director, TTG Asia Media, on IT&CMA’s glowing reputation and expertise in MICE, “IT&CMA continues to be at the forefront of shaping Asia-Pacific’s business events market potential for all stakeholders. The labours of our accumulated efforts over two decades have clearly imbued a sense of confidence through the success of our anniversary show last year. This is a testament to the quality of sellers and buyers IT&CMA consistently brings to our shows, with this 26th year being even bigger and better.”

Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, President, Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), “TCEB is proud to be a long-standing and active strategic partner and host. IT&CMA is a vital part of our business events calendar in leading meaningful growth for the Thai MICE industry and local economies. Our continued commitment to nurturing this demand will bring in even more uniquely Thai organisations with our substantial expansion.”
