27 Mar 2015 2:44 PM | Louise Stokes

Incentive Travel & Conventions, Meetings Asia (IT&CMA) and Corporate Travel World (CTW) Asia-Pacific is The World's Only Doublebill Event in MICE and Corporate Travel. The 2015 event is on in Bangkok, Thailand on 29 September to 1 October.


Please find below some trending topics and highlights you can expect from the Association Days on 30 September and October 1


Forum 1 - Are You Prepared To Be Led By Millenials?
Associations rely on member volunteers to take on leadership positions. Many of these positions are now filled by Baby Boomers who are reaching retirement age. Millenials are up next but their sense of volunteerism is quite different from the older generation. How should associations approach succession planning, and what changes are afoot?

Forum 2 - Being Smart About Rising Meeting Costs
The rising cost of services in the meetings and events space is a constant challenge for associations. What are some of the ways around this challenge? Is outsourcing end-to-end meetings management really the most cost effective approach for time- and budget-strapped associations?


Forum 3 - Incentive Travel For Associations
Corporations often use incentive travel to motivate employees and spur performance. But unlike for-profit businesses, associations are largely funded, directly and indirectly, by their members. How relevant is incentive travel to associations? Should such a programme be limited to full-time association executives only, or do board members need incentivisation as well? This session explores the case for incentive travel in the association industry.

Forum 4 - Partnering Your Sponsors
For associations, the sponsorship dollar is as important as it is elusive. Building greater efficiency into your sponsorship programme could start from changing your perspective and looking at potential sponsors as business partners. How do you create a menu of sponsorship opportunities that deliver greater value to your sponsors? This session will feature a recent case study.
