Situated in Puxi, at the heart of Zhabei District, the new 5-star Shanghai Marriott Hotel Parkview neighbours the city’s largest downtown green space Daning Lingshi Park and is fully equipped with sophisticated and contemporary amenities that look set to wow delegates. The hotel is within 15km from the event’s new venue at Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing.

Ricky Lam, General Manager of Shanghai Marriott Hotel Parkview expressed, “IT&CM China is a very important event for the MICE industry. As a MICE-focused hotel and being the newest Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, we are excited about partnering such an influential event. Not only will we get to be part of this hub for international MICE activity in the region, but this is also a great opportunity to showcase our property to the market.”

He continued, “As one of the latest additions to Shanghai’s rapidly developing Zhabei District, Marriott Hotel Parkview exemplifies the growth and expansion of the city’s MICE market. As an Official Hotel, we are looking forward to showcasing our impressive facilities to domestic and international buyers and delegates.”

In addition, all delegates of IT&CM China and debuting CTW China, will have the chance to experience Shanghai Marriott Hotel Parkview during the Opening Ceremony and Welcome Dinner on 14 April 2015. As the official venue of this networking event, Lam promises an exciting evening of entertainment and dining that will leave delegates with a deep and lasting impression of the hotel, “The Opening Ceremony and Welcome Dinner for IT&CM China represents the start of the trade show, as well as the beginning of many new relationships and partnerships for the delegates. Each year, delegates arrive with a lot of expectations in terms of what they will take away from the show regarding new information about the market, knowledge of new facilities, ideas and inspiration for events. As a new MICE hotel in the market, we look forward to being a part of the discovery and excitement which starts from the Opening Ceremony. We have the opportunity to raise awareness about our outstanding facilities including 317 guest rooms, 2,800 square meters event space and 2 sizeable pillar-less ballrooms that feature large LED display walls.”
