SMF returns with an exciting programme featuring fireside chats with prominent business leaders, plenary discussions, curated networking sessions, business matching opportunities, and a vibrant business marketplace.

2026 EVENT HIGHTLIGHTS
The MICE industry is undergoing rapid transformation, shaped by geopolitical uncertainties, economic volatility, and accelerating AI-driven disruption.
Themed “Going Beyond”, SMF 2026 challenges us to unlearn traditional models, push our curiosity beyond comfort zones, and rethink leadership, value, and impact — from redefining “heartware” leadership to navigating a world where chaos is the new normal.
Bringing together MICE and industry leaders from Singapore and across the region, SMF 2026 calls for a stronger drive for collaboration — to do greater things together, learn across platforms, and transform meaningfully.
Join us to go beyond — and shape the future of the MICE industry together.
