Over the course of three days, the EWB team engaged with international industry stakeholders, including event planners, potential international clients, and other contributors to the wider industry such as association representatives and educators. These interactions contributed to strengthening Bahrain's presence in the global MICE sector and supported EWB's strategic objective of positioning itself as a preferred destination for high-profile international events.
