When I began my career at the national tourism board of Malaysia in the 1980s, I didn’t know that I would eventually move from leisure tourism to the business events industry. In 1989 in the U.S., I had my first break to work at the tourism board international office in Los Angeles, where I had first-hand experience with the meetings and incentive travel markets.

The events industry is like one big family. Regardless of whether you’re dealing with a competitor, supplier or customer, the interaction and communication is always friendly and driven by the love for our industry. All of us help people come together, exchange ideas and learn from each other. This common goal is what connects us and makes working within our industry something very special.
