With the signing of an agreement between the Institute and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation of Iligan, Inc. (CCIFII), MSU-IIT undertakes to be the venue of the 28th Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon) 2019.
The Memorandum of Agreement signing ceremony takes place Wednesday (July 31) at the Institute Boardroom, and sees Chancellor Sukarno D. Tanggol formally committing to CCIFII President Reggie D. Punongbayan to host the 28th MinBizCon at the Institute Gymnasium from September 12-14, 2019.

It is hosted by different Mindanao cities every year, and provides a venue where certain policy actions for the development of Mindanao are formulated.
