The preparations have been laid for IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific 2025, returning to Bangkok from 23 to 25 September. The event will have a renewed emphasis on thought leadership, wellness and immersive education.
Hosted at the Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, the co-located events will bring together regional and international professionals from the MICE and corporate travel sectors for three days of learning, networking and experiences.
A key highlight of the programme is the Global MICE Collaborative’s certification course, MICE Fundamentals: Conferences, Exhibitions & Incentive Events. The course will offer delegates the chance to build skills through expert-led instruction, case studies and planning resources.
“This certification builds a strong foundation for professionals in emerging MICE markets,” said Annette Gregg, CEO of SITE. “We’re thrilled to partner with TTG Events.”
The conference agenda also includes hands-on workshops led by ICCA. These include the Sustainable Gastronomy in MICE initiative, which uses food as a means of exploring sustainability and creativity in event design.
Meanwhile, CTW Asia-Pacific, powered by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), will offer discussions on the resilience of business travel – with a focus on sustainability, policy evolution and the growing prioritisation of traveller well-being. Delegates can expect a curated selection of sessions designed to meet diverse stakeholder needs.
The opening keynote will feature a fireside chat on wellness in business events, spotlighting TCEB’s newly launched “MEET WELL” campaign. The initiative addresses the demand for wellness integration, sustainability seamless connectivity and outcome-driven event strategies.
Mindfulness also finds its place in the agenda, with Your Smiling Heart – a 10-minute meditation session led by Dr Buathon Thienarrom. The session will encourage delegates to connect inwardly amid the bustle of the show floor.
