The Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (MACEOS) has created a youth wing.
This is part of MACEOS’ succession planning, and provides a platform for younger members to network and become more engaged with the association’s happenings.
Jason Teh (extreme left) with his committee memberJason Teh, a MACEOS member since 2013, has been appointed youth president and is part of a committee of nine. Teh is the account director, exhibitions & events marketing division at Pico International in Kuala Lumpur.
Through MACEOS Youth, Teh hopes to attract young talents to join MACEOS to build a larger membership filled with people below the age of 40 for the business events industry.
He added: “It is also about finding avenues to engage with university students involved in event management courses, and to provide them with an opportunity to learn more about the industry. It is also a good way for them to network and build their contacts while still in university.”
Francis Teo, honorary secretary at MACEOS, concluded: “The youth wing is a good way of getting youths involved in activities within the organisation, and for us to impart knowledge to the next generation of leaders.”
