TICA Membership Benefits
1: Business networking
TICA offers business networking with anyone and everyone in the MICE industry internationally and domestically. By networking with industry peers you can explore opportunities to increase visibility of your specific business.
2: Opportunities to do business with fellow members
With increased visibility and business exposure, many organization members may find their workloads get to a point where they have to outsource some projects. If you are not within the business association such as TICA, your may lose the chance to be considered getting some of the business overflows.
Also, different TICA members may specialize in different businesses and, should a requirement come up for a client that is not one of their expertise they may need to refer to other partners, and that partner could be you.
3: Learning from fellow TICA members
There is always something to learn from others no matter if you are an experienced MICE professional or an industry rookie. TICA provides educational platforms through year-round seminar and training programmes, conducted by veteran MICE professionals. Meanwhile, the rookies can also voice fresh ideas.
4: Opportunity to be involved in new industry-boosting ventures
In the ever-changing business climate, we have witnessed many established industry organizations initiate alliances and projects to enhance their exposure. Most of the time, these alliances are formed by familiar faces. By being a member of an association such as TICA and staying involved, you and your organization become visible, which keep the doors of opportunities open for any new industry-boosting projects.
