    Officiating Speech by YB Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture at the Meet in Malaysia @ Malaysia Business Events Week 2022 held at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.

    KUALA LUMPUR – 29 AUGUST 2022: Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) gladly organises the Meet in Malaysia At Malaysia Business Events Week 2022 (MIM @ MBEW 2022), a prominent gathering of business events industry experts. YBhg. Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), will officiate the opening ceremony of World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) on August 29, 2022, launching Malaysia’s future as a powerhouse in the corporate events market.

    The signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) among Malaysia and Indonesia’s business events stakeholders is an important aspect of this year’s MIM @ MBEW. YBhg. Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of MOTAC emphasises “I would like to congratulate MyCEB for its strategic vision in initiating the MOC with our industry colleagues from Indonesia. This strategic collaboration based on common goals and assets but also celebrate differentiators will lead to new opportunities for more business events, leading to more Indonesian business events delegates to Malaysia and vice versa. Malaysia and Indonesia already have a close tourism relationship as Top 5 source markets for the other. This MOC will help increase more business events delegates for both nations”.

    Welcome Remarks by YBhg. Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, Chief Executive Officer of MyCEB at the Meet in Malaysia @ Malaysia Business Events Week 2022 held at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.

    Through a Special Keynote – “Reshaping Business Events”, YBhg. Datuk Hajah Saraya Arbi, Secretary General of MOTAC indicates, “This year’s MBEW is different and special with so many industry leaders – both national and international – gracing our event and sharing their knowledge. To our global association leaders, I am delighted to note that there are 11 international associations supporting MIM @ MBEW – thank you for joining us onsite or online. I have no doubt that business events planners know that incorporating a destination’s culture into their agenda helps foster attendee engagement. Combining this with a sustainability or inclusive focus takes it one step further. After all Malaysia has been granted a seat in the UNESCO which focuses on education, scientific, culture which can link to business events”.

    The opening ceremony welcomes YBhg. Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB, “MyCEB’s vision to be one of the world’s preferred international business events destinations and our mission to deliver a viable portfolio of international business events to attract business events delegates to Malaysia while enhancing the country’s profile on a global scale. This year’s MBEW aims to be the platform to drive all these. The most impactful sustainable business events advance the cause with creative ways, going beyond the traditional to integrate new opportunities designed to engage attendees, benefit and “give back” to host communities. Ultimately, being involved will help improve the products and experiences we promote to the market. This does not mean diverting from MyCEB’s role to sell and market the destination but evolving to a broader mandate”.

    Malaysia’s corporate events industry is forecast to develop rapidly. While dominating this industry is fundamentally important for influential and substantial economic aspects, Malaysia is on the rise to make game-changing movements as the main centre for business event activities. This event plays a major part in impeding the growth of the business events sector by bringing together industry movers and shakers to learn about the newest trends that lead to stunning quantifiable outcomes. It is hoped that via gatherings like these, the floodgates of opportunity would be opened, allowing the nations’ progress in the corporate events market to blossom.

    KUALA LUMPUR – 25 AUGUST 2022: In tandem with the Meet in Malaysia @ Malaysia Business Events Week 2022 (MIM @ MBEW 2022), the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) actively participates in a social, economic, and environmental impact movement, the ‘Lend a Hand’ CSR program.Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, Chief Executive Officer of MyCEB, will be rewarded at the CSR program, which will take place in Zoo Negara Malaysia on August 25, 2022, and will incorporate a deeper message that transcends into social effect and legacies back into business activities.

    “Acting as the national bureau, it is increasingly essential to integrate CSR movements into all business events related activities that potentially deepen the engagement with our industry stakeholders and international delegates. In order to portray a prime example, sustainability is deeply ingrained in our operations which is also a major component for this year’s MIM @ MBEW. The reason why we are organising this initiative in conjunction with Meet in Malaysia @ Malaysia Business Events Week 2022 is to stay mindful in contributing back to the community and by doing so, we hope that the industry and stakeholders will also follow suit through the power of collaboration”, says Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB.

    The Malaysian Association of Convention & Exhibition Organisers & Suppliers (MACEOS), World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), Setia City Convention Center (SCCC), Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Center (MITEC), PICO International Sdn Bhd (PICO), Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), and Evenesis, Exploring transformative offerings of CSR entails successfully bringing together the country’s business events stakeholders. The volunteers want to enter the national zoo in a better condition than when they left. Therefore, a portion of the Zoo Negara Malaysia site will be painted in order to create an exciting and lively ambiance in the hopes of luring more satisfied tourists in the future.

    60 orphans alone from Rahoma Darul Fakir are accepted into the “Lend a Hand” CSR initiative. The same set of kids were also specially called for an iftar ceremony during the holy month of Ramadan that was hosted in connection with the Malaysia Business Events Charter, thus bringing together illustrious industry heavyweights to congregate on the business events industry’s future course.

    Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB continues, “I would like to once again commend the business events industry key players for your tremendous support and effort in lending your hand and volunteering today. The nature of business events is about bringing in international delegates to our shore, which will in return benefit the country economically. Along with it comes various platforms of opportunity to integrate movements that benefit the local organisations and society. Here at MyCEB, we strongly believe that we must put equal emphasis to the thing that really matters the most, uplifting Malaysia’s status as the leading business events hub alongside environmental and social well-being. The ‘Lend a Hand’ CSR initiative carried out at Zoo Negara Malaysia is our way of initiating a small act of contribution with the aim of leaving behind a larger and everlasting impact of a better tomorrow. CSR initiatives have always been part of the business events industry’s DNA, and as the national convention and exhibition bureau, this is the area that we try to power up.”
