BY KEVIN GALANG

THE Clark Development Corporation (CDC) and its locator partners recently unveiled the official MICECON Clark 2024 build-up letters in line with the upcoming Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) Conference 2024.

CDC president and CEO attorney Agnes VST Devanadera expressed her gratitude and excitement during the ceremony held at the parade grounds at the Clark Freeport.

The event highlighted the overwhelming support from locators and envisioning a future of unity, cooperation, and excellence for Clark.

“You are part of all this, and I know you can see all your contributions to this event,” Devanadera said. 

“After 10 years, we’re back with renewed vigor and extraordinary support from our locators. The overwhelming enthusiasm we have received is truly beyond expectation, and we are immensely grateful,” she added.

Since hosting its first MICECON in 2014, Clark has evolved into a premier destination for MICE events.

Over 700 participants from across the Philippines are expected to attend this year’s three-day event  that will highlight Clark’s capacity, with 102 meeting facilities, over 4,000 hotel rooms, and 150 restaurants.

Clark is well-equipped for MICECON 2024.

“We thought that we wouldn’t be able to manage this the first time that we presented this in Davao when we participated in the bidding. They were telling us the amount that the CDC of Davao spent, which by no means we cannot probably measure up to. But we said, we have another kind of wealth. We have the people of CDC, who are so focused and so willing to work,” Devanadera said. 

“We have our partners, our locators. We cannot imagine how things turned out to be. And the partnership with DOT is something that we can say we are very proud of,” the CDC chief said, reflecting on the journey to securing the bid for hosting MICECON Clark 2024.  

The unveiling of MICECON Clark sign  was graced by Department of Tourism Region 3 (DOT R3) Regional Director Richard Daenos and conference partners such as Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort, Hann Resorts, Swissotel Clark, Clark Marriott Hotel, Stotsenberg Hotel and Casino, Quest Plus Conference Center – Clark, Royce Hotel and Casino, Midori Hotel Clark, Plaza Premium Lounge, SMX Convention Center – Clark, Foton Motor Philippines, Gevme, San Miguel Corporation, Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation, the Mabalacat City Government, and the Provincial Government of Pampanga. Other partners include Here Cafe, the Angeles City Government, Park Inn by Radisson – Clark, Sunlight Air, Smart Communications, PLDT Clark, SM City Clark, and Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation.
