Registration is now open for Business Travel Show Asia
Pacific 2026, returning to Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, on 14–15 April 2026.
Launched in 2025, the event was created to meet a growing need across the region: a dedicated platform for serious travel buyers, suppliers and solution providers to share insights, strengthen partnerships, and navigate the unique complexities of corporate travel in Asia Pacific.
Backed by more than three decades of Business Travel Show success in Europe and the BTN Group’s long-standing leadership in global business travel, the Asia Pacific edition continues to build momentum as the region’s most relevant meeting place for corporate
travel professionals. Drawing on the legacy of Business Travel Show Europe—winner of Best UK Tradeshow over 8,000 sqm at the AEO Excellence Awards 2025—it brings that same award-winning standard of content, community and innovation to the region. The 2026 edition is projected to welcome more than 200 hosted buyers and 75 exhibitors, reflecting the show’s growing influence across the Asia Pacific market.
A conference built for the realities of corporate travel in Asia Pacific
The 2026 conference programme will continue the show’s focus on timely, practical education developed by the BTN editorial and conference team.
Last year’s agenda featured high-level sessions such as The State of the Industry with BTN’s editorial director Elizabeth West, the Business Travel Innovation Faceoff, and discussions on traveller experience, sustainability, supplier sourcing and travel risk.
For 2026, attendees can expect a similar mix of expert-led panels, hands-on workshops and buyer-only discussions—refreshed to address the latest challenges shaping managed travel across Asia Pacific. Business Travel Innovation Faceoff will also return, showcasing the latest technologies and services transforming business travel.
Hosted buyer programme: an elevated experience for corporate travel decisionmakers
The hosted buyer programme offers an elevated experience for qualified corporate travel buyers, designed to maximise value and efficiency throughout the event.
Participants receive:
• complimentary travel to Singapore and two nights of 4-star accommodation
• access to pre-scheduled one-to-one appointments with exhibitors

• priority access to all conference sessions and the co-located Meetings Show Asia Pacific
More than an event — a gateway for smarter corporate travel
Business Travel Show Asia Pacific is more than an event — it’s a gateway to smarter, more resilient corporate travel for the region and beyond.

Co-located with The Meetings Show Asia Pacific - which is projecting 600 buyers and 320 exhibitors - the event also connects the business travel and meetings communities, highlighting the growing synergy between the two sectors. Registration is free for corporate travel buyers, procurement professionals, travel managers and executive assistants responsible for travel within their organisations.

upcoming event
m&i announces a brand new MICE event:
m&i Fest 17-21 March 2024 in Marrakesh, Morocco
The evolution of MICE trade shows
m&i are evolving the format of MICE trade shows with their exciting new event m&i Fest. Held in Marrakesh from 17-21 March 2024, this brand new event format offers a unique experience for buyers and suppliers, with enhanced destination time and opportunities for meaningful connections and facetime. For the first time, m&i will combine the best elements of a large trade show with the intimacy, high quality meetings, and value of their successful long-running m&i Forums. The introduction of dedicated exhibitor space will allow brands to powerfully tell their story.
With around 240 buyers and 230 suppliers, m&i Fest is expected to be the must attend event of 2024 and a landmark event for the MICE industry.
Richard Barnes, CEO of Worldwide Events who run m&i Fest commented;
“After the devastating earthquake, we want to show our support for Morocco, and one of the most vital ways that all of us in the travel and events industries can do this is by continuing to promote tourism and MICE business to the country. Now more than ever it’s important to support Morocco, their people, and their local businesses, and all our partners are very keen to welcome delegates to m&i Fest next year.
m&i Fest will bring together the best buyers in the sector with the most relevant suppliers. Suppliers will be able to showcase their brands, and buyers will be able to meet suppliers in an intimate and focused way without walking around a large exhibition centre. This event is designed for the needs of both and will be our highest value MICE industry event. We wanted to give brands the opportunity to have more visibility and provide them with a platform to tell their story. That platform is m&i Fest.
m&i Fest joins the stable of events that we currently organise. We’ve been running events for 20 years, constantly fine tuning what we do to offer greater value to both suppliers and buyers.
At every m&i event we always include a CSR activity. We don’t just intend to leave a footprint behind, we want to support and make a lasting impact on the community. We are working with our partners in Morocco to identify CSR activities at m&i Fest that will be most helpful to the relief effort and will support charities on the ground.”
Event Programme
m&i Fest is designed to attract the best buyers in the industry, by including a greater focus on authentic destination discovery and more opportunities to connect.
The programme is built around 3 core pillars: Develop, Discover & Celebrate. In the mornings there are 1-2-1 meetings where buyers and suppliers will have opportunities to create and develop great relationships. For the first time there will be dedicated branded areas giving businesses and destinations enhanced visibility and a unique platform to showcase their services. In the afternoons attendees choose their own pathway, creating shared experiences between buyers and suppliers with the time to explore the destination and discover exclusive venues. Evenings are all about networking in style, with exquisite local cuisine, and high-octane events giving more opportunity for buyers and suppliers to connect in a more relaxed setting, whilst celebrating our wonderful industry. The festival nature of the event will encourage authentic relationship building, fostering an appetite to learn and reducing appointment fatigue.
Barnes added; “Feedback from both buyers and suppliers is that they want a break from the trade show format of appointment followed by appointment, normally with a long walk in between. m&i Fest will have sessions that are business focused where RFP’s can be exchanged by legitimate buyers, and then sessions that allow more connection and content to be shared. In our research with both buyers and suppliers the feedback told us that creating connections and having engaging content whilst still allowing the serendipity that networking creates, are of key importance."
Arjen Van der Linden from Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol A4 said; “m&i Fest combines the advantages of a big exhibition and the quality 1-2-1 meetings delivered by m&i. That combination is what attracted me most.”
Johannes Aign from Hilton Munich Airport added; “m&i Fest will be attracting the best buyers, which for us as a supplier gives us a great opportunity to get a lot of new business there.”
About Marrakesh
Morocco has long been established as a global MICE destination, and over 4 days, attendees at m&i Fest will discover stunning venues around Marrakesh, as well as experiencing the top highlights of the destination. m&i Fest will take place at Palais des Congrès Marrakech: Marrakesh’s largest venue, with accommodation at the Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech: a 5-star luxury hotel located just a few minutes away from the Medina, and only a 15-minute drive from the airport.
