In a historic triumph, Mala Dorasamy and the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) have clinched the prestigious title of the World's Leading Meetings and Conference Centre 2023 at the World Travel Awards (WTA) Grand Final Gala Ceremony in Dubai. This remarkable feat, achieved in the face of stiff competition from 18 contenders, positions MITEC as a global benchmark in the sector. As the first purpose-built venue in Malaysia for meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and lifestyle events to secure a WTA World Award since the awards' inception in 1993, MITEC's success speaks volumes about the strength of the Malaysian business events industry. Graham E. Cooke, the founder of WTA, hailed this accomplishment as an inspiration, emphasizing how MITEC's commitment resonates globally. MITEC's Chief Executive Officer, Mala Dorasamy, attributes this unparalleled achievement to the unwavering dedication of every team member, board members, clients, service providers, and stakeholders. Boasting an impressive 52,000 square meters of exhibition and convention space, MITEC stands as the largest trade and exhibition center in Malaysia. In a testament to its resilience and adaptability, the year 2023 marked the busiest period for MITEC since its post-COVID-19 reopening. MITEC's journey, from serving as Malaysia's first mega vaccination center in 2021 to its reopening as a dynamic business and lifestyle events venue in 2022, culminated in hosting over 160 events and welcoming more than 3 million visitors in 2023. This exceptional trajectory solidifies MITEC's status as an exemplary force in the industry, setting new standards for excellence and innovation. #ubuntu #congratulations #winningtogether #innovation #businesswithpurpose

We want to share with you the keys to effective networking at your professional events. 🌍 First, it is essential to set clear objectives before the event. Ask yourself: What do I hope to achieve? This will help you focus your efforts and identify the key people you need to connect with. 🎯 Preparation is key. Research attendees and speakers beforehand. Knowing their interests and areas of expertise will allow you to engage in meaningful conversations and leave a lasting impression. 📚 During the event, be proactive but authentic in your interactions. The quality of connections matters more than the quantity. Actively listens and shows genuine interest in others.

✨ A Quantum Leap for Brussels: Uniting for a Brighter Future in Event Management ✨ On Tuesday, at the ECHO conference organised by Event Confederation, our Association Manager, Heidi Martens had the privilege of representing BSV as we delved into the theme: "A Quantum Leap for Brussels." Heidi had an interesting debate with Edouard Cambier, Mieke Glorieux, Denis Delforge, Gilles Poot Baudier and David Leisterh ! It was an invigorating debate that underscored the pivotal role our beautiful city plays on the global stage, particularly in the realm of event management. At BSV, we're not just witnessing a quantum leap; we're part of it. Our network now encompasses over 40 special event locations, each committed to collaboration and mutual support. This synergy isn't just for show—it's a testament to our dedication to both our clients and the event organizing community. By sharing event requests, we ensure every organizer can find the perfect space swiftly and effortlessly, making event planning in Brussels smoother than ever. Heidi underlined that Brussels, our cherished city, is a gem in the realm of international events. As the capital of Belgium and the heart of Europe, its compact size, verdant landscapes, and comprehensive transportation network (metro, airport...) make it an unbeatable choice for event organizers worldwide. Home to major institutions like the European Commission, European Union, and NATO, coupled with the world's highest concentration of associations and numerous international company headquarters, Brussels is a very attractive event city to our venues. However, our journey doesn't end here. While Brussels shines brightly, we're also acutely aware of the challenges ahead. Budget constraints, the need for a streamlined government apparatus, and the need for a larger congress center surrounded by hotels and venues are hurdles we must overcome together. Let's embark on this journey to not only elevate Brussels as a top event destination but to also address and surmount these challenges. The path ahead is filled with opportunity, and together, we can achieve a quantum leap for our city 🙌 (Thanks visitbrussels for the picture 📸) #Eventconfederation #EventManagement #Brussels #QuantumLeap #BSV #Collaboration #Innovation #BrusselSpecialVenues

I've been asked a few times what made me want to launch the Evolve conference which now just a few weeks away... I joked recently that I’ve obviously been doing this for too long as I’m being asked to judge awards, a sure sign that I’m starting to reach my peak of career (or is it notoriety?). It is fair though to say that I’ve been around for a bit now and a few years ago a started noticing a pattern in the education provided by the events industry, for the events industry. The pattern was that education tailored to association event professionals was lacking. Lacking in originality, lacking in deep discussion, and often lacking in substance. Many of our industry events are put together without proper research, using untested and inexperienced speakers who can’t avoid the opportunity to pitch rather than deliver rich and valuable content. Yes there are exceptions, as you can imagine I attend most of the established industry events myself and have seen some brilliantly devised sessions, but in my experience they are vastly outnumbered by the poor. I then added to that the problems around isolation, lack of support, lack of network, that association event professionals often face, and started to think about what I might be able to do to help. Enter Evolve - The Conference for Association Event Professionals. A one-day conference for event professionals that work in associations that really gets to the nub of the matter, helps create lasting relationships and skills, and adds a bit of fun into the mix. The main themes I wanted to address through the programme were: ◾️ Creating lasting positive relationships with peers in similar organisations that share the same daily challenges that you face. ◾️ Getting your voice heard by stakeholders in order to bring about positive change in your organisation ◾️ Ideas about how to evolve and develop education and events programmes in a world that doesn’t stand still. ◾️ Creating a sense of fun and enjoyment through learning and socialising for work. I’m pretty sure that that’s what we’ve achieved, but you’ll be the judge of that. I hope you’ll join us on 9th February at the QEII Conference Centre in London to experience it yourself. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Hkx0hm #EvolveConf #associationevents Memcom Business Dubai visitbrussels ExCeL London QEII Centre Scottish Event Campus (SEC) The Attendee Experience Company (atex) ICC Belfast | Waterfront Hall | Ulster Hall Ottawa Tourism P&J Live @experienceoman

International Event Standards: Bridging Boundaries and Elevating Experiences 🌍✨ The live events industry has undergone a radical transformation over the decades. Events that once appealed to regional audiences now captivate on a global scale. In this digital era, as brands and initiatives aim for a worldwide reach, there’s a growing imperative for international event standards. 📊 Why do these standards matter? Consistency & Quality Assurance 🌟 Every event, be it in London, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires, carries with it an audience's expectations. With international standards, we can assure that quality and safety are paramount, creating trust and amplifying an event's reputation. Facilitating International Collaboration 🤝 In our globally connected landscape, events draw international stakeholders, from sponsors to performers. Universal standards streamline collaborations, ensuring everyone is on the same page and making event planning and execution cohesive. Risk Management ⚠️ Every event has challenges: the broader the scale, the more significant the risks. International standards provide a roadmap to assess, manage, and mitigate these challenges, ensuring everyone's safety and security. Staying updated with global best practices is now optional but essential for event professionals. Prestigious associations like the Meetings Professionals International (MPI) and the International Live Events Association (ILEA) offer resources and certifications, cementing an event professional’s commitment to international excellence. 🏆 As events continue to transcend borders, adopting international standards is the need of the hour. They act as a beacon, guiding us towards creating experiences that are not just memorable but globally resonant. Engage, adapt, and let's raise the bar together! 🚀 Share your thoughts or experiences with international standards in the comments below. Let’s discuss and grow together! 🌐 #EPG #EventStandards #GlobalEvents #EventExcellence #EventIndustry

Planning an event during the Paris 2024 Olympics requires ambition, flexibility, and sharp market expertise. Hotel prices have surged, major events are canceled, and security measures are heightened. With a city breathing the Olympics, it's clear that non-Olympic events may face significant hurdles. As CWT Meetings & Events' local expert, Bertrand D’Argoeuves, advises, consider avoiding Paris for business events during this time unless they’re Olympic-related. If you do proceed, anticipate high costs and logistical complexities, but with careful planning, success is within reach. https://bit.ly/4fbclfu #ParisOlympics #EventPlanning #2024Olympics #EventStrategy
