The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the Meeting Professionals International (MPI) are hosting the forthcoming Global Certificate in Meetings and Business Events II (GCMBE II) Programme which will take place on the PolyU campus from 9 to 13 August 2010.

Jointly organised by SHTM and MPI, the GCMBE II provides meeting and business event professionals with learning and development opportunities that focus on meeting and business events operations.
