The seminar topics were incredibly valuable as well. More than 90% of exhibitors reported that they expect to receive orders ranging from US$250,000 to above US$500,000 in the next 6-12 months, thus underlining IT&CMA and CTW s reputation as an effective platform for business and leading to early registrations for IT&CMA and CTW Remarked Mr. Darren Ng, Managing Director of TTG Asia Media, It comes as no surprise that more than 90% of our exhibitors have pledged to return to the event next year. The 2012 event will be even more exceptional as it capitalizes on the luxury travel market for the very first time. Amongst the exhibitors who have signed up for IT&CMA and CTW 2012 is the Taiwan Convention and Exhibition Bureau. Ms. Stacy Tsai, Project Manager at the organisation said, Our appointments at the 2011 event were great. The amount of international media exposure we have had was also amazing!

Over the past two decades the event s impressive growth has mirrored that of the MICE industry. Industry professionals from around the world eagerly await the celebrations of this milestone. Additionally, the excitement around IT&CMA and CTW 2012 is in no small part due to the newly added luxury travel component of the show. This strategic move to expand the event to include luxury travel will give Buyers and Corporate Travel Managers the opportunity to concurrently source for products and services to meet the demands of their up-market clientele. Likewise, exhibitors with luxury offerings can now capitalize on the enhanced showcase and buying potential at the event. 1
