IBEM 2026 to Unite MICE Industry Players on a Single Platform

The Indonesia Business Event Mart (IBEM) 2026 has been established as a forum to bring together the entire MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition) industry ecosystem on a single platform.

"IBEM is the first business events marketplace in Indonesia specifically designed to connect the entire MICE ecosystem. We hope this platform can develop into an annual agenda that expands partnerships, opens new business opportunities, and strengthens Indonesia’s position in the global business events industry," said IBEM 2026 Organising Committee representative Christine Besinga in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Christine stated that IBEM 2026, which will take place at the Jakarta International Convention Center (JICC) from 28–31 July 2026, will bring together government bodies, associations, industry players, domestic and international buyers, and business event service providers on a single platform.

One of IBEM’s key advantages is the implementation of a Pre-Scheduled Appointment (PSA) system. Through this system, buyers and sellers can schedule business meetings before the event takes place, thereby optimising opportunities for collaboration.

In addition to the business matching agenda, IBEM will also feature an exhibition, networking activities, and various programmes involving MICE industry players from both domestic and international markets.

IBEM 2026 is organised through a collaboration between E&C Productions and TTG Events, with support from the Ministry of Tourism. In relation to the event, the ministry’s Acting Deputy for Event Development, Hafiz Agung Rifai, said that the hosted buyers and media programme would include visits to Onrust Island and Macan Island in the Thousand Islands, facilitated by the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office. This programme aims to introduce potential tourism destinations beyond the urban area to prospective buyers and international media.
