Nu Skin Academy celebrates record attendance at Macau event

A RECORD 5,000 participants attended the 2013 Greater China Nu Skin Academy, an annual event organised by global direct selling company, Nu Skin, earlier this week in Macau.

This is the third Greater China Nu Skin Academy to be hosted in Macau, and the destination has again secured a win for the 2014 edition.

Explaining the company’s preference for Macau, Nu Skin Greater China, regional vice president, leaderships and president, Hong Kong & Macau, Patrick Yeung, said: “Accessibility is key, as the event is attended by business partners from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and China (the latter contributes 80 per cent of the event’s attendees).

“Furthermore, Macau is an excellent conference destination. The event’s venue, Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central, provided great support on logistics and accommodation arrangements.”

Yeung revealed that the company had invested over US$10 million to prepare for the gathering a year in advance.

To ensure a “smooth organisation” of the event, a taskforce comprising members of Nu Skin’s internal events team, staff from various departments as well as an external production house and other vendors was formed.

The programme featured seminars, workshops, teambuilding activities and a gala dinner.

Delegates also came together to set a new Guinness World Record for having the most number of people seated on a single chair. Nu Skin’s 1,666 delegates made the successful attempt to break the former record set by 1,311 people in Onojo City, Fukuoka, Japan, in October 2012.

Dubai and Hong Kong will stand to gain from Nu Skin’s lineup of massive events next year through an 8,000-pax incentive in April and the 40,000-pax Nu Skin Greater China Regional Convention in June, respectively.
