The Sri Lanka MICE Expo 2025 (SL-MICE Expo 2025), organized by the Sri Lanka Convention Bureau (SLCB)—the national tourism organization under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment, and
Tourism—officially commenced on 23 rd September 2025 at Cinnamon Life, City of
Dreams, Colombo. The multi-day event is designed to position Sri Lanka as a premier
destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).
With more than 115 hosted international MICE and travel operators, alongside media
representatives from 30 countries, the Expo aims to strengthen Sri Lanka’s standing on
the global MICE map. It provides a unique platform for both local and international
stakeholders to showcase their products, services, and innovations, serving as a
dynamic marketplace for business growth, networking, and collaboration among global
MICE professionals.
Hon. Harini Amarasuriya, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, inaugurated the event.
Proceedings began with a Business Forum and Welcome Reception at Cinnamon
Grand Colombo on 22 September, followed by the official Opening Ceremony and B2B
sessions at Cinnamon Life, City of Dreams, and a Gala Dinner at The Marquee at Port
City on 23 September. The MICE Business Forum featured a high-level panel
discussion on “The Future of Sri Lanka MICE Tourism in a Changing World”, while the
B2B sessions are expected to host more than 10,000 meetings, bringing together 110+
local vendors with international buyers.
In addition, a post-event familiarization tour organized by the Sri Lanka Convention
Bureau will give hosted buyers the opportunity to explore the central region of Sri
Lanka. The program is designed to highlight the country’s world-class MICE facilities,
stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and modern infrastructure—showcasing
