MyCEB official visit to Jakarta set to fuel regional business events industry

Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) has announced it will pay an official visit to Jakarta, Indonesia, 13-18 November this year. This visit builds upon the gathering held last year, which had the primary objective of fostering the relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia and revitalise the business events industry. “Our robust collaborations will empower us to seize new opportunities by harnessing each other’s expertise to broaden our business initiatives, encompassing both industry-specific and private sector ventures. This will further fortify the technical and economic co-operation between Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Mr Zain Azrai Rashid, acting CEO of MyCEB. The visit coincides with MyCEB’s participation in Enlit Asia 2023 (an annual conference and exhibition that unifies two major events in the power and energy sector – POWERGEN Asia and Asian Utility Week). The national convention bureau says it is also looking forward to exploring new avenues for more dynamic collaborations, exchanging insights on industry trends and facilitating meaningful discussions with key stakeholders in the sector. This endeavour is also undertaken as a follow-up to the signed Memorandum of Co-operation (MoC) between MyCEB, the Malaysian Association of Convention & Exhibition Organsers & Suppliers (MACEOS) and the Indonesian Exhibition Companies Association (IECA-ASPERAPI) in 2022. One year on, the MoC has delivered impactful outcomes, including a notable members networking between ASPERAPI and MACEOS in Kuala Lumpur. “The sales mission’s goals encompass forging connections with leading figures in the industry and government to leave a lasting impression. Moreover, the visit aims to enhance the convention and exhibition sector while exploring opportunities for growth in the corporate meeting and incentive field,” added Mr Zain. MyCEB will also be hosting several initiatives during this visit, including a networking session, meetings with Indonesian industry players and venue site visits.
