The 18th East Asian Actuarial Conference (EACC), a region-specific gathering of insurance and actuarial professionals stood out for its MICE initiatives when it unfolded at the Taipei International Convention Center. Organized by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China, it conveyed green concepts through the conference website and venue signage. To promote the use of public transportation, visitors received an IC-embedded "EasyCard" containing NT$100 in value instead of providing parking spaces. To embrace environmental and social responsibilities, the organizer donated untouched leftover food to the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF)‘s South Taipei Services Center.

The FBDA-organized Creative Jam Session (CJS) opened in July at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. To cut waste FBDA used paper cups and printed items sparingly while relying on social networking apps to arrange meetings. "Due to the hairdressing industry’s peculiarities, it is difficult to implement a fully digitized operation," said Ms. XXXX Fang, public relations representative at FBDA. "But we found that many members use their smartphones to access Facebook and LINE. In fact more people registered for CJS on Facebook than on the event website. Smartphone applications have become the main way to promote Green MICE."

The Asia Pacific Franchise Confederation and World Franchise Council 2014 selected the Taipei International Convention Center as its venue of choice; taking full advantage of its green facilities. Part of its green imitative included the use of flat panel screens to replace cardboard stands to display important event information. Drinking fountains replaced bottled water. It also unfolded recyclable/reusable canvas banners and stored access ID data multi-use EasyCards. With a single card, a participant could register, sign-in for the conference, ride the metro, and take it home as a green tech souvenir.

The 6th edition of the multinational Global Initiatives Symposium in Taiwan (GIS Taiwan) was organized by a student team from National Taiwan University. Since the students had a limited budget they had to apply the principles of recycle and reuse. They adapted a youthful approach by posting on-line all essential data and reduced printing to badges and brochures while using waste paper in decorations. National Taiwan University enhanced the green MICE message by cooperating with Taiwanese brands. For example, they offered LUXGEN-sponsored airport-venue shuttles while Kuo Yuan Ye and Amo Bakery offer utensil-free refreshments.

The annual TPCA Show joins hundreds of up and downstream supply chain vendors across Taiwan‘s printed circuit board (PCB) industry. It is organized by the Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA), a staunch green MICE advocate famed for its inexhaustible stream of innovation. Its endeavors range from customized exhibitor QR codes that avoid mountains of printed brochure waste and a charity drive to collect recycled badges to free shuttle services for more rational greener transportation.Encouraged by the record-breaking number of registered exhibitors for this year’s 4th edition of "iECO Design Award" held during the TPCA Show, TPCA general director Mr. Zhan vowed to keep up its green awareness campaign and widen corporate involvement next year.
