JWCC announced the Conference Ambassador Program, designed to partner with association leaders and industry experts in India to help bring global conferences, conventions and business events to Mumbai. Supported by the Maharashtra Convention Bureau (MCB) and with the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) as its Knowledge Partner, the program creates a unified support network by identifying and equipping leaders across industries to serve as Conference Ambassadors.
International conferences and conventions are among the world's leading platforms for advancing research and collaboration. Beyond their economic contributions, they provide a platform for global experts, researchers, policymakers and decision-makers to exchange ideas and shape the future of their respective disciplines.
