SITE chief executive Annette Gregg said of their participation: “The Global MICE Collaborative is thrilled to be the educational partner with TTG Events for IT&CM Asia and CTW APAC 2025. This certification builds a strong foundation for professionals in emerging MICE markets.”
ICCA will lead a Sustainable Gastronomy in MICE activity that explores the wonders of gastronomy through the lens of sustainability and innovation. Delegates will take part in interactive experiences that encourage knowledge sharing and promote responsible practices within the business events landscape.

What’s on this year’s slate?
The conference agenda is crafted to meet the diverse needs of buyers and suppliers, providing actionable insights and strategic foresight:
- Opening Keynote – Fireside Chat: A discussion on wellness in business events and corporate travel, exploring how mindfulness, delegate experience design, and stress reduction are becoming key to enhancing event impact. The session will also introduce TCEB’s new 'MEET WELL' campaign, a national initiative addressing industry demands for wellness, sustainability, seamless connectivity, and ROI-driven event design.

- Tastebud Lab Conference: A roundtable exploring how food as a wellness driver is reshaping the hospitality, health tourism, and MICE landscape. From personalised nutrition, future food systems, and sustainable culinary experiences, the session uncovers how destinations can innovate for competitive advantage.
But the learning goes on for both media and hosted buyers after the event thanks to a three-day/two-night tour that will enable them to explore a different side of Thailand.
