MICE is an acronym for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibits. In recent years, the labels meetings industry and events industry have gained traction as alternatives to MICE. It accounts for an essential percentage of worldwide business travel because every industry has regular events of some form. The primary purpose is to bring professionals together, establish connections, encourage new ideas, and accelerate progress.
