ICCA ACKNOWLEDGES MALAYSIA'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE INDUSTRY

PUTRAJAYA, Dec 12 (Bernama) -- Chief Executive Officer of the International Congress and Conference Association (ICCA), Senthil Gopinath presents himself for a courtesy visit to Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau’s Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Sri Dr. Abdul Khani Daud in Putrajaya in light of shared views with regards to the essence of international association meetings for the business events industry.

The pleasant visit contemporaneously acknowledges Dato’ Sri Dr. Abdul Khani Daud’s tenure as the ICCA Board of Director as the voice for the Asia Pacific Region that concluded in November 2022. Being elected during the high tide of the pandemic calls for vigorous upskilling and planning in reviving the business events industry that will catalyse a resurgence of this vital economic driven sector. With the full support of MyCEB, regional alliances, industry partners, government agencies and ministries, Asia Pacific was able to showcase an enlightening growth that sums the business events industry’s revival post pandemic today.

“I am humbled to wish Senthil a warm Malaysian ‘Selamat Datang’. The global business events community requires support from peak association such as ICCA and it is my humble experience being elected as the ICCA Board of Director for the term 2020 - 2022. Being part of an industry that highly transcends social and economic drivers, I was proud to see the growth of the region and how the region came back strong with trailblazing initiatives. MyCEB will continue to support the establishment of ICCA Asia Pacific office in Kuala Lumpur since 2007. The collaboration between MyCEB and ICCA is vital in our business events growth,” says Dato’ Sri Dr. Abdul Khani.
