Nanyang Polytechnic, GSI to build MICE industry capabilities

The partnership includes training, workshops, and internship opportunities.

Higher education institution Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Singapore-based events technology provider GlobalSign.in (GSI) have teamed up to foster the next generation of event managers and to build Singapore’s meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry capabilities.

The partnership will include training and workshops, as well as internship opportunities for students and adult learners to develop competencies in virtual MICE event delivery

COVID-19 has changed the ways in which events can be organised, forcing the industry to digitalise at an accelerated pace.

“COVID-19 has reshaped the MICE industry, and we have had to rethink how we now conduct events and conventions. It is more crucial than ever that practitioners are well-versed in digital skills, like cybersecurity as well as data protection and analytics, in order to take on the challenges of our rapidly-evolving world,” said Esther Ho, director of NYP School of Business Management.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
