The ‘venue of choice’ for medical business events in Malaysia
It was a strong year for Medical conferences at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre) in 2018, with seven high-profile events attracting over 7,300 participants and delivering RM38.7 million in economic impact to Malaysia.
This included the Congress of the World Council of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) 2018; World Congress of World Society of Intravenous Anaesthesia Onlus-Target Controlled Infusion (SIVA-TCI) 2018; World Cancer Congress 2018; Asia Pacific Congress of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA) 2018; International Diabetes Federation-Western Pacific Region Congress (IDF-WPR) 2018; Malaysia International Dental Exhibition and Conference (MIDEC) 2018; and the 3 Masters: 4-Day Oral Rehabilitation Symposium & Hands-On 2018.
Speaking after the recent conclusion of the World Congress of SIVA-TCI 2018, Organising Chairman, Dr Raveenthiran Rasiah, said “Hats off to the Centre, the professional team played an important part in making our event so memorable, it was truly a shared success. We organised this meeting without a professional conference organiser, which was only possible thanks to the Centre’s support and guidance. Everyone was fantastic and their flexibility was outstanding, every request we made (even last-minute ones) were taken care of immediately, with no questions asked. We received so many positive comments from our delegates, especially about the delicious food. We can’t wait to come back and are aiming to have our next national meeting at the Centre.”
Echoing Dr Raveenthiran’s comments, Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Congress & Events Specialist, Ronan Carella added, “Overall, running an event at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre was a smooth experience. The Centre’s staff were professional, efficient, and very responsive which was crucial to us. During the whole preparation phase, the team had been very reliable in terms of assistance and follow-ups with information being provided in a timely manner. I would recommend the Centre as a conference venue without reservation.”
