11th APF and 2012 ICES Initiate Connecting Opportunities

The 11th Asia Pacific Forum for Graduate Students Research in Tourism (APF) and the International Convention & Expo Summit 2012 (ICES) will be held concurrently at Hotel ICON.

APF will provide a platform for the exchange of information between postgraduate students and academics engaged in research and teaching in hospitality and tourism programmes in the Asia-Pacific region. ICES is dedicated to positioning itself as the leading conference of the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry in Asia by providing an opportunity for the exchange of interdisciplinary ideas.

This year, the two prominent events will be combined to become a two-in-one conference organised by the SHTM on 22-24 May with the theme Initiate Connecting Opportunities Now! During the three days, delegates from various backgrounds and countries will exchange insights and explore networking opportunities.

Twenty-five undergraduate students from the SHTM form the conference organising committee. With support from the School's faculty members, the committee is in charge of the whole event from planning to staging, an invaluable opportunity for them to show their passion for running the conference and creating a unique experience for all delegates.
