Dalli Lee, Manager, EXCO - Daegu Exhibition& Convention Center has secured the coveted title this month! Here's what Dalli had to say:
How is the ICCA database beneficial for your work/organisation?
As part of a government-affiliated MICE bureau in Daegu, South Korea, the ICCA database is an essential tool for identifying international conferences that align with our city’s key industries and academic strengths. It not only helps us discover high-potential events but also enables strategic engagement with relevant associations and decision-makers. The historical data and bidding information provide valuable insights when developing customized proposals.
Do you have any tips for your fellow ICCA members?
Use the database proactively! Don’t just search for events — try to uncover patterns, gaps, or emerging trends. Combining ICCA data with local academic and industry intelligence helps build a more compelling case when approaching event organizers. And always keep your profile and success stories up-to-date in the ICCA community — networking within ICCA can lead to surprising new opportunities.
What positive message would you like to share with ICCAWorld?
In a world filled with uncertainty, our work in connecting people across borders has never been more important. Each conference we bring to life is a seed of collaboration, innovation, and cultural exchange. Let’s continue to uplift each other and shape a more connected, resilient global community
