    The impressive performances proved that autistic people can have a quality life with the proper support and guidance from the loved ones. Indeed, music intervention is something that gives them a focus and helps to build confidence and self esteem to support their social skills and improve their quality of life. Through MBEW 2022, a big shout-out was given on the endless effort of the parents and teachers in supporting children with autism and learning disabilities.

Moreover, the international speakers are representatives from key international business events associations such as International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA), Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) and Union of International Associations (UIA).

    “‘Reshaping business events’ is what we do today, planting seeds for the future and building legacy for the industry. We are delighted to learn from the top leaders from Malaysia and around the world, especially the presence of key international associations such as UFI, IAEE, PCMA, AFECA and ICCA. 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,” said Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB.

    The key agenda of MBEW 2022 was the Signing of Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) between Malaysia and Indonesia Industry stakeholders, marking the strategic collaboration between both countries in boosting the business events market within the region.

    “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,” said YB Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC).

    SDG Deep Dive Workshop @ Rumah Tangsi KL 

    What is Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and how it concerns Business Events industry? 

    “That’s core for ensuring that whatever events we do have a long-lasting impact, not only to the city but also to the community and the environment. That’s more important than just having an impact on the economy,”  said TPr. Ts. Norliza Hashim, CEO of Urbanice Malaysia.

    Sustainable development begins with education that allows every human being to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values to shape a sustainable future. Hence, implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is vital for any nation to move forward in the years to come during the economic recovery. This is where business events professionals play an important role in implementing SDGs, no matter how small their starting point is.

    CSR and Sustainability Initiatives

    ‘Lend a Hand’ CSR Initiative

    In conjunction with the MIM @ MBEW 2022, MyCEB and BE industry partners come together for the ‘Lend a Hand’ CSR initiative that carried out at Zoo Negara Malaysia on 25 August 2022, contributing the well-being of the zoo with a variety of activities such as painting and refurbishing the facilities. Under the glow project, we lend a hand to repaint the facilities and welcomed 60 children from Rahoma Darul Fakir with fun activities exploring and learning about wildlife and biodiversity.

    Besides creating awareness on the vital role of zoos as a source of education and learning about wildlife and biodiversity, the CSR initiative incorporates a deeper meaning that transcends into social impact and legacies back into business events. It is also the way of initiating a small act of contribution with the aim of leaving behind a larger and everlasting impact of a better tomorrow.

    Sustainability Initiatives

    MyCEB also partnered with Kloth Cares and Food Aid Foundation from 27th to 30th August 2022 on the ongoing commitment to spark positive change in the communities through the sustainability initiatives, which includes minimising food waste, avoiding single-use plastics, and support the underprivileged by donating pre-loved clothing and non-perishable food. Small actions can make a big difference in BE community and the environment!


    As a whole, The MIM @ MBEW 2022 brings together strong momentum in developing the country’s business event and tourism sector through knowledge sharing, establishing new connections and discovering business opportunities with industry experts, and sustainability for growth. In conclusion, the heart of building resilient business events landscape is through the power of domestic and international collaboration as the key strategic direction for future business events industry.

    ~ Let’s BE Greater, Together. Meet in Malaysia! ~
    Stay tuned for MBEW 2023 that is scheduled to be held from
