A networking event for medical associations in Penang
Penang Convention and Exhibition Bureau (PCEB) organised a networking event for the medical associations in Penang yesterday at the iconic Cheah Kongsi graced by The Honourable Yeoh Soon Hin, the State Exco for Tourism and Creative Economy.
An exclusive networking event that went by the theme called ‘Siren Night’, was attended by various medical association members, professional conference organisers (PCO), and Destination Management Companies from Penang.
The event aimed to present the latest initiatives from the bureau to boost and entice international medical conferences into Penang and how the medical associations can work closely with the bureau to achieve this mission. Some of the PCOs also shared their profile and services in organising conferences in Penang.
The state is also giving extra intentness to this sector because the fast growth of medical tourism helps to provide business opportunities and employment to locals. It also helps in generating direct employment that includes jobs in the hospitality and tourism industry.
PCEB is eagerly anticipating collaboration with medical associations and industry partners to catapult their vision to position Penang as the preferred destination for medical conferences.
