The news: BCD Meetings and Events has released its 10th annual trends guide, identifying geopolitical uncertainty, climate disruption, and cost pressures as primary drivers of change in corporate MICE planning. The report emphasises AI's role in improving efficiency and demonstrating business value, alongside a need for authentic, purposeful experiences.
Why it matters for MICE operators: This guide signals where corporate clients' heads are at—they're looking for vendors who can prove ROI through data and AI tools, while managing rising costs. Indian DMCs and PCOs who invest in technology platforms that track outcomes and automate RFP responses will gain competitive advantage. Climate-conscious planning and geopolitical risk assessment are now baseline expectations, not differentiators.
The takeaway: Implement AI-enabled quotation and reporting tools to address client cost pressures and demonstrate clear event ROI in proposals.
