PCMA reveals speakers for new Asia Pacific conference
“Through our APAC research, surveys and community chats with planners, what we’re hearing is that you want to ask your peers and customers what they are doing, how they’ve made decisions and what the next 12-months looks like.
“Now is your opportunity to ask them directly, as well as share some best practices and tips on rebuilding the business events sector in APAC,” Bolinger said.
