M&C Asia Connections 2023, a two-day appointments-only business event, will unite Asia's top suppliers with pre-qualified international buyers through an exceptional hosted buyer programme.
M&C Asia’s flagship event, M&C Asia Connections (MCAC) 2023, is set to be the biggest and most dynamic edition yet when it takes place in Singapore from 15-18 August.
Supported by the Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau, this
two-day appointments-only business event will unite Asia's top suppliers
with pre-qualified international buyers through an exceptional
hosted buyer programme.
One-on-one pre-scheduled tabletop meetings will be at the core of
MCAC 2023, hosted across by two stunning business event destinations,
featuring integrated resort Marina Bay Sands and one-stop MICE island of
Sentosa.
“MCAC 2023 experienced unprecedented registration growth, up 28% in qualified buyers versus the 2022 show last year,”
said Irene Chua, vice president and group publisher, Asia for Northstar
Travel Group. “This year’s strong buyer turnout has encouraged
exhibitors to commit to exhibit at MCAC 2023, with many stepping up
their show presence.”
Exhibitors – representing Asia's CVBs, hotels, and DMCs will be in
attendance – have increased by 24%, with MEET TAIWAN doubling its presence at the show from last year.
A rich business networking event
MCAC 2023 promises a rich tapestry of business networking, insights, and opportunities.
Buyers will be hosted at The Outpost Hotel Sentosa, an adults-only
upscale resort offering 193 keys and the only rooftop pool and day club
on the island; and Oasia Resort Sentosa, a 191-room wellness-oriented
property with a bespoke spa and fitness programme.
Besides upscale accommodation, buyers will experience the best of
Sentosa's MICE offerings, starting with a breakfast sponsored by Macao's
Galaxy Entertainment Group, followed by pre-scheduled sessions with
sellers at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa.
Sentosa Development Corporation will host an exciting team bonding
afternoon for the delegates, showcasing the island's immersive
experiences, before capping the first evening with an opening cocktail
reception.
The second day of meetings will feature one-on-one business sessions
at Marina Bay Sands, renowned for its iconic meeting spaces and
world-class rooms and suites, followed by a delightful lunch at the
integrated resort and a panel session featuring esteemed guest speakers
from the MICE industry, all under one roof.
The event's highlight, M&C Asia Stella Awards 2023,
will celebrate Asia's top MICE stars at Marina Bay Sands' Hybrid Event
Broadcast Studio, recognising achievements in categories like Best MICE
Destination (Asia) and Best Convention & Visitor Bureau (Asia).
Exciting post-event fam trip
Established Singapore-based DMC World Express will be leading
delegates on an experiential post-event fam trip, featuring city tours,
hotel and venue inspections, and a deeper exploration of Singapore's
MICE offerings.
"We are thrilled to present an immersive showcase of Singapore's MICE
offerings at MCAC 2023. The event promises exceptional business
networking, insights, and endless business event opportunities," said
Chua.
