Empowering the Future of MICE Through Smart Technology, IoT, and Human-Centered Innovations

The MICE Study Program of Politeknik Negeri Jakarta proudly presents the International Scientific Conference of MICE (ISCOMICE) 2026, an annual international conference that brings together academics, researchers, industry professionals, students, and policymakers to discuss the future of the MICE industry. As a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, ISCOMICE 2026 features plenary sessions led by international experts and parallel sessions where participants present and discuss scientific research related to MICE, tourism, and hospitality.

Carrying the theme “Empowering the Future of MICE Through Smart Technology, IoT, and Human-Centered Innovations,” ISCOMICE 2026 focuses on how technological advancement is transforming the MICE industry. Smart technology and IoT are increasingly used to improve event efficiency, connectivity, and participant experience through systems such as real-time data monitoring, automated operations, and integrated digital platforms. At the same time, the conference highlights the importance of human-centered innovation, ensuring that technology supports meaningful interaction, accessibility, comfort, and personalization rather than replacing the human element.

As the MICE industry continues to grow and adapt to rapid digital change, research-based discussions are essential to address emerging challenges and opportunities. ISCOMICE 2026 aims to encourage critical dialogue and academic contributions that support smarter, more adaptive, and future-ready MICE practices. Through international collaboration and scientific exchange, the conference seeks to strengthen the role of research in shaping innovation and sustainable growth within the global MICE industry.
