“On behalf of ICCA, we would like to thank Melbourne Convention Bureau and all its partners for their undivided support,” said Mr Hamid.

“Melbourne is where creativity and innovation come together to deliver great events, exciting places to explore and cutting-edge advancements that are globally acclaimed.

 

 

“MCB and its partners are excited to be hosting the ICCA Asia Pacific Client Workshop in September. We look forward to welcoming ICCA members and international association executives from across the region and highlight our famed ‘Team Melbourne’ approach,” said Ms Swanson.
