Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre has secured six major international conferences that are set to attract over 6,150 delegates in 2026 and 2027 and inject an estimated RM77.5 million (US$18.3 million) into the country’s economy.
The successful bids highlight the venue’s strategic focus on high-impact sectors, aligning with Malaysia’s national priorities under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030.
The conferences, won through competitive bidding in 1H2025, will bring together global experts and thought leaders. They are expected to generate significant visitor spending across accommodation, dining, transportation, and tourism.
Among the notable events secured are the Global Health Security Conference 2026, Energy Tech Summit Asia 2026, and 85th FIP World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2027.
“Winning these bids is a resounding vote of confidence in Malaysia’s capacity, connectivity, and collaborative spirit,” said John Burke, general manager of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
“Beyond the direct economic contribution, these events will spark new partnerships, accelerate talent development, and showcase our nation’s commitment to driving solutions for critical global challenges.”
