THE SINGAPORE Association of Conventions and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (SACEOS) will be organising a MICE trade mission to three cities in India from August 23-27.

To be held with support from International Enterprise Singapore – the body that spearheads overseas growth of Singapore-based firms and promotes international trade – the mission will visit New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Participants will get to present their products and services to MICE associations and corporate buyers in India through business meetings and networking functions.

SACEOS executive director, Elizabeth Chin, told TTGmice e-Weekly that the association had been looking for opportunities to organise a trade mission to India.

“We want the trade mission to be impactful for attendees, and decided that it would be a good idea to leverage on the upcoming IT&CM (Incentive Travel & Conventions, Meetings) India in New Delhi,” said Chin, adding that Singapore MICE companies taking part in the show may be interested in joining the trade mission to expand their reach into India.

SACEOS is planning to kick off the trade mission with an evening networking cocktail on August 23, the day that IT&CM India draws to a close.

Chin is aiming to secure participation from at least six Singapore-based MICE companies by the time registration for the trade mission closes on July 31.
