Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), a proactive member of the Asia Convention Alliance (ACA), is inviting corporate event professionals to attend the ACA Association Forum 2023, commonly known as #ACAAF1.

Announced during a MyCEB chaired ACA Press Conference in IMEX Frankfurt 2023, members of the alliance who were present emphasise that the event aims to create a sustainable network between members and convention stakeholders as well as co-create an ACA-owned event.

The inaugural forum which is slated to be held in the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC), Bangkok, Thailand on 11 November 2023, expects to welcome approximately 100 delegates from the region’s 20 established associations as well as international delegates from around the globe. #ACAAF1 is anticipated to configure the foundation of this forum through its first hosting country and further provide exposure to other ACA members in particular, to the association clientele.

Noor Azlan Abu Bakar, Director – Convention & Exhibition of MyCEB expressed, “In the past, ACA members as individual entities have had great working relationships amongst each other, but the recent unprecedented industry and global challenges has further propelled us to come together and overcome difficulties as a team. ACA is a true alliance which reflects the integrity of members convening to cohesively cooperate to benefit not just member countries, but the region itself. This is what we want to achieve through the ACA Forum as it is created and spearheaded by a band of the industry’s authorities.”

In the first installation, delegates can expect key takeaways on pertinent issues addressed including Sustainability; Diversity, Equity & Inclusion or DEI and Environmental, Social and Governance, or ESG practices, of which all points to being aligned and works towards reaching the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. A credible and authoritative line of speakers have been determined and will be announced by Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB).

Nooch Homrossukhon, TCEB’s Director of Conventions said, “We are proud to announce the first collaborative effort by all ACA members where we will be organising ACAAF2023 on 11 November 2023 at QSNCC, Bangkok. Each destination will bring their associations from their destination to Bangkok in conjunction with 62nd ICCA Congress Bangkok. The forum will address how the association advances in the region and how convention bureaus like us were able to partner with associations in staging their events in respective destinations.

Also representing ACAAF#1’s host country at the press conference, Sumate Sudasna, President of Thailand Incentive & Convention Association, or TICA, added, “We are expecting to welcome 25 associations and 4 speakers during the forum, and this will be timely with Thailand hosting the ICCA congress (for the third time) which welcomes a huge presence of other destinations as well.”

Young Hwan Kim, Director General of Tourism & Sports Bureau from Seoul Metropolitan Government said, “With our enduring cooperative relationship among ACA members, I am confident that this year’s ACAAF will be a tremendous success. I hope that the forum will facilitate networks among numerous institutions and organisation representatives in Asia, leading to the development for their business and fostering advancement. Also, we kindly request the participation and support for Seoul International Tavel Mart (SITM), which will take place at Seoul Dongdaemun Design Plaza this June.”

Noor Azlan concluded, “The ACA Forum is essential in many ways, and we highly look forward to the success by our neighbouring country, Thailand this year. Kudos to the team of TCEB, for taking the lead in this initiative. Malaysia will follow suit next year and we are committed to support this initiative annually through sharing our resources and market expertise that will be insightful for business events industry stakeholders to consider, implement or even improvise. We hope to see a bigger and better ACA Forum with every event in the coming years!”

In their latest sustainability film, the luxury carmaker presents the amazing stories of the individuals behind the BMW Group’s hardest certification, emphasising the essential role of EV technicians in encouraging the wider adoption of electric vehicles in Malaysia. BMW Group Malaysia highlights its highly trained personnel in the field of Electric Mobility through the BMW High Voltage Expert (HVE) Certification programme. The globally acknowledged plan to further train the local electric vehicle (EV) workforce in Malaysia, led by the BMW Group Regional Training Centre, is a first for the premium carmaker outside Munich, Germany.

Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “At the BMW Group, we recognise that service and repair are important points of consideration for many customers of our EV portfolio, many of which have shared concerns with the lack of technical know-how in Malaysia that dampens their interest to make the switch to EVs. To ensure that our customers have greater peace of mind when it comes to the ownership of their electric vehicles, we took it upon ourselves to develop an extensive network of charging infrastructure nationwide and introduced the HVE certification here to also complement the uptake of electromobility in the past few years.”

He added, “Above all, it is the determination and passion shown by our High Voltage Experts that take this programme to greater heights – despite the level of difficulty and intensive training sessions that they must undergo to receive the certification. We hope these videos capture that spirit and goes on to inspire other local technicians to also upskill to meet the rising tide of electromobility in Malaysia.”

The latest video by BMW Group Malaysia aims to pivot traditionally held stereotypes of automotive technicians as blue-collared workers to one that recognises the high level of knowledge and technical skills required in the field of IT and electrical systems to excel in this profession. Careers in the automotive field, especially for technicians equipped with EV capabilities, is the future – and this is exemplified through the stories of three newly certified High Voltage Experts from the BMW dealership network, along with the highly-skilled trainers from the BMW Group Regional Training Centre.

The BMW High Voltage Expert is a specialised talent who works at the highest level on BMW electric vehicles. Conducted at the BMW Group Regional Training Centre in Malaysia, the programme that certifies a BMW High Voltage Expert allows for the servicing and repair of the most advanced BMW i vehicles worldwide.

In the same vein of developing the EV ecosystem in Malaysia, the premium automaker has also made over 1,000 charging facilities available in its network thus far. Access to over 400 of these facilities provided are through partnerships with ChargEV and Yinson Greentech, while the partnership with JomCharge enables access to over 100 charging facilities, Gentari with over 150 facilities as well as approximately 160 facilities from new partners such as Shell Recharge with ParkEasy, ChargeN’Go, ChargeSini, Go To-U and FlexiParking. Over 100 BMW i and MINI charging facilities are also available at most authorised dealerships, as well as partnering venues across the country, with more to come as part of the strategic infrastructure expansion plan set for the year ahead.

Part 1 of the video showcases what it takes to become a High Voltage Expert in Malaysia while Part 2 of the series demonstrates how BMW Group Malaysia is upskilling the local EV workforce and changing perceptions towards automotive technicians with the BMW High Voltage Expert certification programme.

 

Kehebatan vokal Dinda Dania memang tidak dapat dinafikan; gelarannya sebagai juara pertandingan nyanyian realiti Ceria Popstar Xtra cukup membuktikan kebolehannya sebagai penyanyi sandaran hari ini.

Kini, Dania hadir menceriakan industri muzik tempatan dengan single terbaharu berjudul ‘LARI-LARI’ yang dicipta oleh barisan komposer terkemuka negara, Iqie Hugh, Firdaus Rahmat dan juga John Jeeves, dan diterbitkan oleh jenama peneraju bidang hiburan tanah air, Rocketfuel Entertainment.

“Pengorbanan saya dalam bidang seni ternyata bukan sia-sia lagi apabila kini bergelar penyanyi sekaligus tampil dengan lagu sendiri, ibarat mimpi menjadi kenyataan, saya rasa sangat terharu dengan peluang yang diberikan oleh pihak Rocketfuel terutamanya,” jelas pemilik nama sebenar Dania Zafirah Sulaiman, 18 tahun.

Anak kelahiran Kuala Lumpur ini sememangnya meminati bidang nyanyian sedari kecil lagi, Dinda mula mencari rezeki ketika berusia 13 tahun dengan ‘busking’ di beberapa tempat di sekitar ibukota dan dari situlah bakatnya mula diasah dan pengalamannya ditimba, katanya, “Saya mula menyanyi seawal umur 4 tahun, kemudian di usia 10 tahun saya rajin menyertai banyak pertandingan nyanyian di antaranya Bintang Kecil RTM 2016, Ceria Online Star 2020, Ceria Popstar 2021 dan yang terakhir adalah Ceria Popstar Xtra 2022 dimana saya dinobatkan menjadi juara lantas dilamar oleh pihak Rocketfuel untuk menjadi artis di bawah label mereka.

“Pihak Rocketfuel yang menentukan lagu pengenalan saya kerana mereka lebih arif apa yang sesuai dengan saya untuk ‘kick-off’ single pertama, selain mengambil kira trend lagu sekarang, LARI-LARI mengisahkan tentang seorang wanita yang terkejar-kejarkan cinta seorang lelaki namun dibayangi perasaan cemburu kerana lelaki yang disukainya sering dikelilingi oleh wanita-wanita lain, lalu wanita tersebut memendam perasaan cinta yang tidak kesampaian.

Single pop ini bernuansa EDM (Electronic Dance Music) yang moden sesuai dengan halwa telinga pendengar zaman sekarang mengambil masa selama 2 hari sahaja untuk dirakamkan, namun video muzik (MV) masih lagi dalam perancangan dan hanya lirik video sahaja yang diriliskan terlebih dahulu.

Menurut Encik Feros Sayna, Ketua Rocketfuel Entertainment, “Dinda adalah di antara penyanyi pelapis tanah air yang patut diberi perhatian, bakatnya dalam bidang nyanyian sememangnya terserlah dan tidak perlu diragui lagi kerana telah memenangi beberapa pertandingan nyanyian sebelum ini.

“Saya berharap lagu LARI-LARI nyanyian Dinda mendapat perhatian dan menyerlahkan lagi bakat semula jadi yang dimilikinya, semoga Dinda terus sukses dan maju dalam industri hiburan negara kita.

Kata Dinda penuh pengharapan: “Semoga peminat yang sudah mengenali saya sukakan lagu LARI-LARI ini dan terus memberikan sokongan terhadap perjalanan seni saya, serta jangan lupa untuk mendengar dan ‘download’ di kesemua ‘digital platform’!

Lagu ‘LARI-LARI’ boleh dimuat turun di iTunes dan boleh juga dijadikan sebagai nada dering panggilan menerusi ke semua syarikat telekomunikasi tempatan serta boleh didengar dan nikmati pada bila-bila masa melalui aplikasi penstriman atas talian pilihan utama seperti Joox, KKBox, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music dan juga YouTube Music.

Manakala lirik video ini boleh ditonton secara eksklusif di saluran YouTube Rocketfuel Network.

 

During its eleventh appearance at IMEX Frankfurt (“the trade show”) this year, Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) will continue to lead and promote Malaysia’s thriving corporate events industry. In order to actively engage its worldwide audience and present the nation’s new options for 2023 and beyond, the Bureau is collaborating with 15 industry participants, including state bureaus, recognised hotel brands, and conference centres.

Malaysia’s delegation led by YBhg. Datuk Mohd Zamri Bin Mat Zain, Deputy Secretary General (Tourism), Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia says that MyCEB is an avid supporter of the tradeshow as it is an effective platform for participants to draw attention from key parties and continuously push Malaysia as the preferred business events and international sporting events destination in Asia.

“Last year, we were able to identify 113 leads from IMEX Frankfurt and this year, we target to increase the number of this generation as we place our trust and confidence in one of the best platforms for the business events community. Our focus is to continue to create and explore new ties while strengthening existing relationships for the long term. In addition, we are looking to gain and exchange insights for better growth of the destination and industry,” he continues.

At a designated pavilion at B200, Team Malaysia will showcase the opportunity to highlight our vibrant hotels, venues, team-building offerings and experiences to key global incentive decision-makers, who are responsible for bringing in large groups that support our tourism industry and broader visitor economy. Inspired by Malaysian’s cultural heritage ‘Tekat’, Malaysia aims to produce and fabricate golden opportunities in creating a masterpiece event, which also represents the inspiration behind the overall theme for this year’s trade show. As diversity and inclusion becomes front and centre, MyCEB aspires to break all potential barriers to delegates and provide alternative ways to make the event experience rewarding for the community and nation building.

“The formation of ACA is a regional effort to rebuild and boost the business events industry and MyCEB is proud to be a contributor to the alliance. MyCEB also reveals that the Asia Convention Alliance (ACA) is conducting several key meetings during IMEX Frankfurt 2023,” says YBhg. Datuk Mohd Zamri Bin Mat Zain.

For the past year, Malaysia has seen progress in the recovery of its business events industry as the pandemic recedes, attributing to the government’s effective inoculation processes and citizens’ awareness. The nation is getting back on track as international borders reopened last year and saw an increase of tourism visitors to the country. The country’s strategy in steadily strengthening the business events industry includes vigorous promotional campaigns and international collaborations, which is already witnessing short term results of 114 business events secured from this year till 2030.

Sarawak has unveiled the Legacy Impact Master Action Plan (Legacy MAP) 2023-2025 at IMEX Frankfurt in Germany today, in light of the destination’s recent declaration on being Malaysia and Borneo’s first legacy capital on 12 May.

The Legacy MAP is a course of action for the next three years developed by Business Events Sarawak (BESarawak) alongside the Sarawak Government and consultancy group, GainingEdge, to define and drive decisions about hosting business events in Sarawak. It aims to leverage the relationship between business events and legacy impact and optimise this to contribute to Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 goals.

With the business events industry being 1 of the 6 key priority sectors under tourism in Sarawak’s PCDS 2030,  the Legacy MAP is carefully designed to support the key outcomes sought by the strategy which are economic prosperity, social inclusion and environmental sustainability and help business event planners create greater value when designing event programmes.

With an action plan in hand, Sarawak will pay closer attention to events that are strategically important to the community. To achieve the greatest impact, Sarawak will actively seek events that align with the PCDS 2030 and prioritise those under the strategy’s 6 economic sectors (manufacturing, mining, agriculture, forestry, tourism and services) and 7 enabling sectors (digital, innovation, education, infrastructure, utilities, transport and renewable energy).

“We are wasting no time in establishing Sarawak as the first legacy capital for business events in Malaysia and Borneo,” said The Honourable Datuk Snowdan Lawan, Sarawak’s Deputy Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts. “With Indonesia’s new capital city in development, Sarawak is ready to seize any and all opportunities. The Legacy MAP is closely aligned with the government’s development policies therefore we are positioning business events as a frontline sector to facilitate strategic collaborations and open a host of economic and social opportunities. Legacy impact is Sarawak’s unique value proposition to the world and we believe that this transformative thinking will allow the industry to enjoy greater returns on both objectives and investments”.

The Legacy MAP changes the traditional narrative about business events only contributing to Sarawak’s economy via delegate numbers and expenses. Instead, it cements the new narrative that business events — with the vast knowledge, connections and innovations it carries — can contribute to the 5 core legacy pillars of sectoral growth, community development, environmental sustainability and good governance on top of economic impact.

A national survey conducted by BESarawak last year indicated that 93% of respondents from Malaysia’s business events industry viewed legacy as a positive move to add greater value to business events. “We have expanded our economic-based business model to include legacy because it is more sustainable as years go by,” stated Amelia Roziman, BESarawak’s CEO. “Every stakeholder group in the business events ecosystem has unique areas of interests and influence and the Legacy MAP is going to speak directly to their needs and how they can impact Sarawak’s legacy goals as well as their event goals. We aim to create value for both sides of the table – business event planners and Sarawak’s local communities. My sincerest appreciation goes to the  Sarawak Government and GainingEdge for supporting the industry throughout these years.”

Sarawak is well-versed in business events legacies having achieved numerous milestones since 2019. Some milestones include having the industry prioritised by the Sarawak Government in its development policies; hosting two ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) Congresses twice in 4 years; launching the Business Events Sarawak Legacy Initiative; creating the world’s first International Journal of Business Events and Legacies; appointing 5 business events legacy ambassadors under its Business Events Sarawak Legacy Ambassador Programme and now, the Legacy Impact Master Action Plan.

Meanwhile, at IMEX Frankfurt, Sarawak launched its first standalone pavilion in the morning themed “Business Events Support Community Development” to reflect the destination’s commitment to economic and social development. Exhibiting at the “Tribe Legacy Sarawak” pavilion by BESarawak is:
