advancements in store for MICE community. Also the current adaptability of
techniques was elaborated by the distinguished speakers.
On the other hand, organizations executing various MICE Projects like

a MICE Planners viewpoint. “Technology can act as a support function for MICE projects.
But the end user has to be educated about the usage to get maximum output”
commented Mr. Rajesh Raghavan from Pinwheel.
“Reason for slow adoption of Technology in MICE is more or less related
to Inertia and Cost involved. But now the time is changing. Even the Corporate
Buyers are now emphasizing on the need of various apps as it helps them to get
connected with their business partners throughout the event. Moreover, they
feel connected” quoted Dhruv Chauhan, founder Travelexic

holds good space for Technology Inclusions in all verticals of MICE. Considering
