Back in 1990, when business tourism in Malaysia was still in its infancy, the Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (MACEOS) was incepted with the objective of developing and raising the standards of the Business Events (BE) industry nationwide. The Association is the mandated representative of its members who hail from various business establishments including professional exhibition and conference organisers, venue providers, destination management, and event management companies to other affiliated members including stand contractors, AV, logistics, airlines, travel & tours and more.

MACEOS’s objectives are aligned to its four pillars - I.D.E.A. to reflect:

• Innovation: transforming BE in line with Industry 4.0 seamlessly
• Development: evolving sustainability beyond the industry
• Education: shaping the future of BE by nurturing, enabling and empowering talents
• Advocacy: becoming a catalyst of economic development delivering unprecedented value to enrich the nation, while increasing Malaysia BE’s visibility and influence at all levels in the BE arena."
