About International Conference on Events (ICE)The International Conference on Events (ICE) primarily aims to gather those interested in the exciting yet complex field of event studies and event management together to disseminate latest research, initiate collaborations and exchange ideas. The first ICE was held in Bournemouth and the second in Sheffield in 2013 and 2014 respectively. Considering the Asia Pacific region is experiencing unprecedented change, the organisers believe it is timely to bring ICE2015 internationally, and so comes Making Waves in Macao right here at the Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT). Macao!
Making Waves in Macao is one of the series of activities celebrating IFT's twenty years of excellence in quality education and research in tourism and hospitality. |
