Ever wondered what goes into organising an international conference with 450 delegates? It’s a whirlwind of activity the day before. Charcoal Consultants set up AV, plenary rooms, arranged exhibition layouts, and managed logistics. MICE Management ensured all the speakers' flights were on time, arriving in the country and getting to the hotels safely – the VIP treatment. Paragon Africa prepared to welcome our delegates at registration with big smiles!

If you have had a good snoop 👃 through our website, you’ll notice this scripture:

For God is the one who provides seed 🌱 for the farmer 👩‍🌾 and then bread to eat 🥖 . In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you – 2 Corinthians 9:10.

Part of my journey to launching this business 🚀 , was a recent meeting in George with a highly respected businesswoman and mentor (if you like), although I am not sure she would call herself that. She has always encouraged me in my career, since that April weekend 🐰 in 2012, when an entire itinerary 🚁 for 200 worldwide CEO’s needed to be changed for the following day (due to weather 🌧️) and we worked right through the night with our local suppliers and managed to pull it off through bleary eyes - as you do, in this industry 👀 .

During our meeting in George recently, she shared 2 Corinthians 9:10 and I knew in the moment that she said it, that this was the purpose for MICE Management. Not for me, but to serve, to be a vessel 🍶 that would distribute heavenly seed 🌱 , to be increased for generosity to the people beyond me. Whether its serving a committee or client, or serving an underprivileged community with funding - this scripture is on my pin board, 📍 next to my desk, as a reminder that when I feel discouraged, and think ‘what the heck am I doing!?’, that this is not about me or for me. It’s bigger than me.

This has been is a huge leap of faith, so it’s an honour to share this journey with you.

Here I am. This is me. I am Michelle Booth, owner and founder of the new brand M.I.C.E Management in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, and Events/Exhibition space.

It all started with COVID. Yes, that swear word. I lost my mom very suddenly in 2020 and it rocked my inner-being, my husband moved overseas for a year in 2021, and I resigned from my stable, comfortable much-loved position as Cape Town Branch Manager at Turners Conferences at the end of that year. How’s that for a little shake up?

It’s been wild ride of freelancing since 2022, working on my own joint-venture projects, a near-business purchase, and then 2024 started with fresh perspective. A clear pathway, one divinely directed. A vision. A brand. And here we are. Beauty for ashes.

If you have previously found value in my services, I'd appreciate it if you could kindly share them with anyone you think might benefit, such as associations, event planners, organizing committee members, and corporate entities.

My name is Michelle Booth, 21 year ‘veteran’ in the MICE industry.
HELLO. NICE TO MEET YOU.
