The objective of the seminar was to continue to grow the professionalism and competitiveness within our marketplace by exchanging information and transfer knowledge and experience between colleagues, particularly sales and marketing staff.
Attendees enthused about the programme: “I learned a lot of new things and from an international perspective, which was really interesting, while at the same time had a chance to meet some new industry colleagues” said one, and “This was definitely an interesting seminar. It was nice to hear about best practices and advice from successful industry counterparts.” commented another.
DTCM’s Dubai Convention Bureau is committed to further develop and increase Dubai’s share of the International MICE market and special events, and has successfully partnered with; ICCA, MPI, IAPCO, ASAE and DMAI, all international associations who foster a global community for the meeting industry for such programmes.
INCON was initiated in 1990 by some of the world’s leading Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs). They aim to help meeting planners by providing a "one-stop shop" - no matter where the event is being held. Each of the Partners in the INCON network is a prominent PCO in their own country.
