Lesson – Who are the Events Industry Suppliers and
Regulators?

SUPPLIERS

In the events management, suppliers refer to

those who provide the services necessary to
organize and execute events properly. Suppliers are
people or businesses who sell goods or services to
your business and rely on you for revenue from the
sale of those goods or services.

Here are the categories of suppliers that plays

a vital role in the Events/MICE Industry:

Accommodations/Hotels
Advertising Agencies
Air and Ground Transportations
Audio Visual/Meeting Technologies Suppliers
Booth Contractors
Freight Forwarders
Food and Beverage (F&B) Supplies/Caterers
Ground Handlers
Manpower and Security Agencies
Photography, Videography, documentation, and
transcription services
Venues
PROCUREMENT
Generally refers to the final act of purchasing
but it can also include the procurement
process overall which can be critically
important for companies leading up to their
final purchasing decision. It is a jargon term
for getting or “purchasing” something from a
supplier.

ASSOCIATIONS AS REGULATORY BODIES

There are associations that regulates the

staging of some events to maintain certain
standards. Some examples are: Union de faire
Internationales (UFI) established in the late
1960s and the Bureau of International
Expositions (BIE) who governs the staging of
World Expositions (Expos or World Fairs) and was
established by an international convention
signed in Paris on November 22, 1928.

the following questions:

1. Why should the government support the

events industry?

3. Should the government build more and

bigger event venues in the Philippines? Why?
