Tips On How To Plan A Successful MICE Event

The recent G20 Head of State and Government Summit held in Bali has put Indonesia’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) abilities in the spotlight. Home to some of the world’s most beautiful natural landmarks and world-class hospitality, Indonesia has proven itself as one of the most ideal countries to host an international or national event.

That said, putting together a business meeting or conference can feel like a daunting task. But with a little guidance, you can make it into a memorable experience that your attendees will remember long after the event is over. Follow our tips below to learn how you can ace your MICE event.

1. Plan early
Most businesses plan their events six to twelve months in advance, allowing you to secure a preferred location which may have a tendency to be fully booked during peak MICE season. Furthermore, booking early entitles you to discounted pricing and other early-bird incentives from your venue provider. Careful planning also means that all issues can be anticipated and resolved ahead of time, avoiding hiccups on the big day. Creating a project timeline outlining all of the important dates and deadlines is critical to keeping track of all the requirements for your event. So make sure you don’t forget the latter!

2. Pick the right venue
Do you intend to throw a large-scale conference with two hundred attendees, or a smaller, more personal gathering with just fifty people? Are you interested in a standard convention hotel, or a hotel in a specific location? Be sure that the location you choose has enough room for all of your guests, complete facilities, audio-visual equipment, and catering services that are suitable for the type of gathering you are planning to host.

3. Pick the right activities
Plan out your event's end game and be sure you know why you're doing it. Make sure the educational session you're planning has material or a topic that your participants will find engaging. Incorporate gamification elements such as contests, surveys, games, and audience Q&A to increase attendance and engagement with your event. When planning a company-wide all-inclusive vacation, make sure to include opportunities for team-building activities such as quiz games, throwback activities, and more. Planning activities that appeal to everyone involved is crucial for a successful event. Give your attendees a unique and unforgettable MICE experience!
