MICE America provides a unique, business-driven and practical environment using pioneering one-to-one business meetings and educational workshop sessions that are strictly limited to upper-level executive managers who are the decision makers on MICE issues in their companies.
The needs of MICE decision makers for innovative strategies and unique services, coupled with shrinking budgets and shorter lead times mean they are becoming more selective and demanding from their solution providers. Vendor services are being squeezed and it is time for solution providers to face this challenge head on.
