First of all I would like to thank you for the overwhelming and wonderful welcome and hospitality we felt during the 11th CIC in Kolkata. India is such an amazing country and I feel this needs to be broadcasted and advertised into the MICE world. I was very amazed about the great and very infotaining first day with all speakers and topics. Many people not aware of the possibilities and unique activities, venues and sight your country offers. I feel proud to have been a part of this 11th Conclave and will be an Ambassador for India as a destination. I wish you a wonderful day and hope to create a meaningful and prosperous relationship to bring business to India.
The event was excellent and run very smoothly! The accommodation at the grand Hyatt was immaculate! Food unbelievable in all hotel restaurants we personally tried, rooms amassing, service impeccable!
The whole organisation, the feedback we got about India, the liaising with the convention bureau officers and in particular Mrs Madhu, the networking, the post tour, the social events, everything made us feel the slogan of India! INDIA INCREDIBLE INDIA!! We will now look into how to strengthen our cooperation with conference organising. Thank you for the experience!
Attending the 11th Convention India Conclave was a life changing experience. This was my first visit to India – What a Country -The people were beautiful and friendly, the food was fantastic, India was colorful, vibrant and diverse. Excellent accommodations. Thank you for putting on such a wonderful conference. It was an experience that will impact the rest of my life. I surely hope to attend future conferences. I learned much from the presentations and made meaningful connections with professionals and potential clients. I really appreciated the opportunity to be involved in such a great event.
ICPB conducted its 12th CIC 2019 at Grant Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty, from 29-31 August 2019 plus post tours. Delegates, speakers, buyers, sponsors, etc. were very happy to experience the level of content, and hospitality that the event has provided. Really, all things were fantastic.
It was my first time with ICPB and my overall impression is beyond my expectations. I think ICPB is doing a great work of promoting India as a popular MICE destination and I can see it growing by leaps and bounds in the years to come. My best wishes and congratulations to your esteemed self and all your team for the good work you are doing and thus serving the national interests.
It’s an excellent platform for networking with stalwarts from different fields and availing opportunity to give business to each other. Truly appreciate the idea of Green walk and the Golf Tournament. 11 CIC 2018 – Kolkata rocked. A big applause to Madhu Dubey and team ICPB. Keep it up and look forward for such meetings and more.
Dear Team, I would like to deeply thank you for this professional organization. Congratulations for this amazing show. I did have a fruitful interaction with the suppliers indeed. I was impressed by the destination of Kolkata. So many concepts are possible in Incredible India. Even if my soul is still in India, my brain is working to bring some groups to fascinating and captivating India. Looking forward to cooperating with you soon.: 1st September 2018
I am doing my best to be a good ambassador of Incredible India to my VIP customers. I have sent 3 luxury events and 2 VIP leisure groups in 2018 so 5 groups between September and end of December; 4 more to come in 2019 as of today. : 2nd February 2019
It was a great learning experience. The organisers had taken keen interest and there was application of mind on every smallest issue. The convention would go a long way in helping our organisation in organising National and International events. I would rate overall performance as ‘Outstanding’.
Thank you so much for inviting me to Kolkata to attend the conclave. The whole event went to head quite nicely and I learned that Kolkata is a place we could quite easily bring clients. I look forward to doing business in Kolkata and attending the 12th conventions India conclave to report back!
Thank you for the opportunity to participate and experience "Incredible India." I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it highly informative and useful. It was a very good use of my time.
At the outset, I thank you for Inviting me to attend 11th Conventions India Conclave 2018 held at Kolkata from 29th – 31st August 2018. The programme was well designed and having professional rich contents with regard to various issues related to organizing world class conventions in India.
I would like to take a moment to congratulate each of the ICBP members for such a wonderful job they did during the convention. I have heard nothing but praise from all who attended the conference. The presenters were well prepared and the sessions were well attended. Everyone felt that you did a superb job organizing this event, selecting thought-provoking topics and even the hospitality was far beyond our expectation. Congratulations on both a successful and a memorable conference. You have set a new standard for conference planners.
Thanks for making the conference so worthwhile.
This is to express my appreciation for the 2 day conference hosted by your organisation. It was well planned, well executed, theme well expressed, discussions well participated and guests looked after well. It was the first time that I participated in such an event and it was wonderful to get educated on so many issues involved in hosting a conference. The Indian Academy of Cytologists shall be making its bid in May/June 2016 to host the International Congress of Cytology in New Delhi in the year 2022. I do hope that our discussion on this project shall continue and reach a logical conclusion.
Thank you very much for your mail and big thanks to you and ICPB for the opportunity to participate in the convention. It was very interactive has given us a platform to share our views. Hope the recommendation you have made will be accepted by GOI particularly regarding visa for delegates and help in bidding international conference.
