Students from both courses collaborated to organize the actual event, which provided opportunities to learn directly from the speakers' experiences and exchange perspectives on developing festivals that meet market demands. Additionally, they practiced working together in real-world situations. This activity reflected practical learning that helps prepare students to enter the tourism and MICE industries as professionals.

The activity was supervised by Dr.Nonthawan Songserm, Instructor for the Trends and Issues in Tourism and MICE Industry course, and Ajarn Paskrich Sutthiwetin, Instructor for the Special Event Management course.
