The MICE and destination-event segment is a growing and significant pillar for the city.

How we produce the event at your meeting venue

Selecting the venue is the start. We manage set and stage build, AV and technical, branding, guest experience and media, so the space becomes a fully produced event. Shimla Airport at Jubbarhatti handles limited flights, with Chandigarh airport around 110 km away serving as the main gateway. The UNESCO-listed Kalka-Shimla narrow-gauge toy train offers a scenic rail approach, while NH-5 connects the city via Chandigarh. The mountain road journey, though winding, is well-established for delegate movement to the destination.

Shimla is the media centre of Himachal Pradesh, with Hindi and English regional press and strong government-affairs coverage. IRPR Media leverages this base alongside travel and lifestyle outlets to position destination events, conferences, and offsites, reaching tourism, government, and the wider corporate audience drawn to the hill capital.
