ICCA has signed a landmark partnership agreement with Beijing Capital Group Exhibitions & Events to jointly develop and launch a new three-level professional education certification programme for China’s business events sector.
The Certified International Business Events Professional (CIBEP) curriculum will leverage ICCA’s global expertise while incorporating localised practices, case studies, and experiences created by Beijing Capital Group Exhibitions & Events. The latter will also manage the programme’s design, delivery, and marketing, including the development of supplementary content tailored to the Chinese market.
This approach is intended to build a more competitive workforce and support the long-term growth of China’s business events ecosystem.
The CIBEP programme is designed to provide foundational training for new entrants, upskilling for early- and mid-career professionals, and alignment with global standards while reflecting the unique characteristics of the Chinese market.
Learners who successfully complete the programme will achieve a professional standard compatible with further international training.
