Dear Member,

It is my great pleasure to inform you that the 3rd edition of the AFECA Asia MICE Youth Challenge 2017 is confirmed to be scheduled on 6th September 2017, Wednesday in Kaohsiung, Taiwan alongside the upcoming AFECA AGM. On behalf of AFECA and the Organising Committee, we cordially extend an invitation to you to organize a team or maximum two teams to participate in this exciting Youth Challenge event again!

We are pleased that the last AFECA Asia MICE Youth Challenge 2016 has received positive and proactive responses across Asia. A total of 15 teams from 10 AFECA member countries/areas were in last year’s competition. Most of all, participants had expressed that the competition was a very rewarding experience in which they had the golden opportunity to connect with many peers from other participating countries/areas to inspire ideas. Some also shared that this competition had given them the ability to apply what they had learnt in schools into realistic, practical decision making in organizing events.

AFECA Asia MICE Youth Challenge 2017 is open to all students attending an accredited university or college within Asia. It is a platform for the future Asian MICE talents to outwit other participants by showcasing their genius novel event and convince the judges why their country/area is THE BEST MICE destination in Asia! Organize your team today and take this golden opportunity to connect with the Asian MICE industry! Only registrations made through the respective country/area AFECA Association Members will be accepted.

Enclosed please find the AFECA Asia MICE Youth Challenge 2017 Information Kit (to download: goo.gl/…), which consist of the Information Sheet and a Registration Form (to download: goo.gl/…) for your reference. We are pleased to inform you that there will be a total of 9 Awards to be given out this year, an additional of 4 Awards compared to last year, giving more opportunities for participants to excel and showcase their talents. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the Organising Committee Chairperson, Ms. Rosalind Ng or Ms Susanna Chang, Secretariat at afecaamiceyc@afeca.asia
