It will showcase the city’s high-quality environment for developing the MICE industry, as well as the achievements from the local MICE companies. In addition, it also offers information on the upcoming 2010 Taipei International Flora Expo.
According to the TPEDOIT, it has instituted sponsorship program for the MICE industry in 2008.
