The MICE

JANUARY 11, 2021

Switzerland is a premium country for meetings and events. The SCIB has a presence in 14 markets. It is a MICE-oriented property in the city portfolio, and the renovation allowed the hotel to position itself in a clever way in the Bernese market. Everyone at this stage is concerned with being associated with a “spreader event”.

PCMA Convene

JULY 31, 2016

I n a real sense, Convene , which was launched in 1986, grew up alongside the meetings profession. As late as 1980, there was no textbook on meeting or exposition management and only one accredited college program devoted to its practice, former Convene editor Peter Shure pointed out in a 2003 story in the magazine.
