MICE Seminar announced for Nairobi on October 17

The Kenya Tourism Board is supporting a MICE Seminar organized by Reed Exhibitions in conjunction with EIBTM and SITE as part of their additional activities planned for their annual Magical Kenya Travel Expo 2013.

The seminar will take place on October 17 at the centrally-located Stanley Hotel and has attracted several high-quality speakers, among them Huw Tucket from SITE and Jill Henry, recently retired from the Sarawak Convention Bureau. Huw will speak on Global Incentive Industry trends, and the different types of “rewards,” from cash to travel, while Jill, who is also a former Director of the Perth Convention Bureau, will speak on “The Potential and Value of International Conferences and Incentive Business for East Africa”… finding a way to gain business in a competitive market and the role of the PCO in winning international conferences. Local tourism expert, Tasneem Adamji, will focus her presentation on how to prepare incentive proposals for East Africa and ultimately deliver a program.

The Magical Kenya Travel Expo 2013 will officially kick off on October 18 and run until October 20, although the official program for the event starts with the much-awaited World Travel Awards 2013 ceremony on the evening of October 16, followed by the full-day seminar which is expected to be a sellout at a cost of Kenya Shillings 5,000 per person (US$58). Interested parties can write to [email protected] but urgency is recommended as few spots remain.
