naseba executive events

The word "naseba" comes from a Japanese expression that means, "When there is a will there is a way." naseba was established in 2002 to produce, host and sell exclusive industry-specific executive congresses, expos and forums throughout the world. By combining the best elements of a conference, exhibition and dynamic networking naseba maximises deal-making and knowledge-sharing opportunities for its global clients. Each naseba event is extensively researched and produced in strategic partnership with governmental, media, and sponsor clients. Its focus as a company is to become the industry leader and to set the standard for executive events throughout the world.

Each MICE Executive Congress event offers keynote sessions led by industry experts using corporate case studies to discuss facing and overcoming the most critical industry issues. To maximise networking opportunities, focused pre-scheduled one-to-one and open business meetings are prearranged to the needs of the corporate buyers. Additionally, MICE Executive Congress events offer discussion groups and workshops to maximise interaction and collective problem solving.
