India’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) industry is steadily emerging as a vital force in the country’s economic growth and global branding. Reinforcing this momentum, the Indian Exhibitions, Conferences & Events Services Association (IESA) will host the India Expo Shop 2025 on August 12-13, 2025, at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi.
The event is expected to bring together over 100 top suppliers in the event services space, showcasing their expertise and contributions to major productions like the G20 Summit, BharatTex, AeroShow, DefExpo, and India Energy Week.
Jatinder Kapur, President, Indian Exhibitions, Conferences & Events Services Association said, “India’s MICE sector is rapidly emerging as a key economic driver, hosting over 35,000 corporate events annually and nurturing a robust talent ecosystem. Valued at USD 49.4 billion in 2024 and projected to more than double to USD 103.7 billion by 2030, the sector reflects its growing strategic significance to Brand Bharat. India Expo Shop 2025 aims to showcase this momentum, celebrating the creativity, precision, and entrepreneurial spirit of our 3,000+ service providers.”
Beyond event execution, the MICE industry contributes extensively to the economy through job creation, infrastructure development, and increased tourism. It supports sectors such as hospitality, logistics, and planning, while also strengthening India’s global image and attracting investments.
Uma Menon, General Secretary, Indian Exhibitions, Conferences & Events Services Association said, “Over the past decade, IESA has focused on bringing together event service providers from across India under one unified platform. With a strong and growing community of over 550 members nationwide, we are now shifting our focus towards creating meaningful business opportunities across all segments of the industry.”
One of the most anticipated segments of India Expo Shop 2025 will be the launch of EventFully Bharat 1.0. This new initiative will serve as a platform for startups and emerging ventures to present innovative ideas and technologies to a panel of industry experts, investors, and global buyers, encouraging collaboration and driving the future of the event services ecosystem.
