EVENTXPO, organised by the Malaysian Association of Conference and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (MACEOS), opened its doors for the first time on August 19. It is set to be an annual platform to showcase Malaysia’s latest business event products, services, technology, trends, and insights.
This is Sarawak’s second year implementing the Legacy Impact Master Action Plan (Legacy MAP) 2023–2025 and EVENTXPO is the perfect platform to explore new opportunities.
“Ultimately, we want Malaysia to become the business events hub in ASEAN.”
“The long-term, positive impact of business events is not just for Sarawak, but for Malaysia to accelerate its social and economic progress. Besides monitoring and validating legacy impact, the second year of the Legacy MAP is a good time to communicate the legacy brand and embed the mindset to the Peninsular industry, thus attracting the right business events into Sarawak,” said Amelia Roziman, CEO of Business Events Sarawak (BESarawak). “Yesterday, Sarawak attracted several quality appointments with business event planners and received excellent feedback about the legacy direction. We are confident that we have made a strong first impression at EVENTXPO.”
Meanwhile, Datuk Dr M Gandhi, President of MACEOS, stated that his vision is for business events to create a long-term impact and contribute to nation-building. “MACEOS has a very clear strategic roadmap. We want to position ourselves as an industry consultant that advocates business events as a key economic contributor while providing education to the industry. Ultimately, we want Malaysia to become the business events hub in ASEAN.”
