MACEOS organised EventXpo 2024 to provide a new platform for business event players in Malaysia to connect and explore new markets. 

MACEOS president Datuk Dr M Gandhi told Bernama news agency the association is encouraging its members to focus on bringing in relevant technologies and exhibitors from abroad, ensuring these contributions align with Malaysia’s economic and nation-building goals.

“We need to bring the right exhibitors from overseas and introduce technologies relevant to Malaysia, such as in the electric and electronics, aerospace and service industries.

“By fostering strategic international collaborations, MACEOS aims to elevate the local industry while driving sustainable economic growth,” he concluded.
