The Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (MACEOS) is proud to announce the return of two of the most anticipated highlights in Malaysia’s business events calendar—the 3rd Malaysian Business Events Awards (MBEA) and the 2nd edition of EventXpo. Both prestigious events will take place from 7 to 9 August 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

Bringing together the country’s leading industry professionals, innovators, and changemakers under one roof, MBEA and EventXpo 2025 promise a dynamic convergence of celebration, collaboration, and cutting-edge showcase that will shape the future of the business events industry.

“MBEA and EventXpo represent more than just events—they are the heart of our industry’s momentum, a gathering of great minds, a celebration of resilience, and a launchpad for future success,” said Datuk Dr M Gandhi, President of MACEOS. “This is the one event that every serious player in the ecosystem simply cannot afford to miss.”

EventXpo 2025: Smart Solutions, Smart Events

After a successful debut, EventXpo returns in 2025 with the electrifying theme “Smart Solutions, Smart Events.” Designed as the definitive marketplace for the business events industry, this three-day exhibition will be the central hub for networking, knowledge exchange, and innovation. Industry players can look forward to a curated lineup of thought-provoking keynotes, live demonstrations, interactive booths, and valuable business matchmaking opportunities.

Attendees will include event organisers, suppliers, venue operators, tech solution providers, and corporate buyers, creating a vibrant ecosystem that fosters collaboration and opens doors to fresh business ventures.

“EventXpo is where event sourcing evolves—moving beyond word-of-mouth to a platform where verified, professional connections are made in real-time,” said Datuk Dr M Gandhi. “It’s time to shift the spotlight home, allowing Malaysia to shine as the regional epicentre of business events excellence.”

Additionally, EventXpo 2025 will highlight the Kind Malaysia initiative—a purposeful collaboration with non-profits that reflects MACEOS’s commitment to community-building and social impact. Through this effort, the industry champions inclusivity, sustainability, and meaningful corporate social responsibility.
