Minimalism with Maximum Impact (shareable experience with technology)
The MICE Industry has played an important part in leading the economic impact of business travel. Namely, TCEB is continuously leading the MICE industry in Asia by embryonic development with Social Impact studies and calculation of Social Impact from the MICE industry - Social Impact may be interpreted as any changes people make with the intention to solve social challenges or deliberate attempts to effect positive change.
Update from the CEO: April 2024 edition
Four years ago, in March and April, Europe went into lockdown as COVID shut down public life – and our industry. In the past few days, I have been following a number of media reports and expert reviews on what we all have learned from the pandemic: how countries and societies managed to get through the waves of infections, how industries dealt with it and recovered, what we have learned from it, and what changes it has brought.

Update from the CEO: March edition
A few days ago, I could catch up with Amy Saleh, Operations Director at Hannover Fairs Australia. We were both attending the AIME show in Melbourne and chatted for half an hour about the state of the industry in Australia. Now, Amy has been a member of our 2023 Class of “Next Generation Leaders” and together with her colleagues Otero from the UK, Elizabeth from the US, Tehchad from Thailand, and Aya from Egypt, have presented their ideas for a new blueprint for exhibition operations a few months back at our Global Congress in Las Vegas.

The food industry in the exhibition industry: from niche to the future
The food industry in the exhibition sector has been undergoing significant growth in Asia, where the culinary scene is vibrant and diverse.

Letter from the UFI President: February edition
I am writing these lines as I am leaving the beautiful city of Amsterdam, where I spent a few days both with the UFI leadership for our first major meetings of the year and of course for this year’s Global CEO Summit. For me, this week confirmed two beliefs that I hold: UFI is doing very well – and with a little support from all of us it can achieve even more.
