Representatives of IPIM and UFI’s Macao members at the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2019 in Tokyo

The Acting President of IPIM Irene Va Kuan Lau and representatives of Macao’s MICE sector attended the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2019 – themed Facing the Future – in Japan from 14 to 15 March. Previously, IPIM formed a bidding team together with UFI members in Macao, including the Macau Fair & Trade Association, the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association, Nam Kwong (Group) Company Limited, Nam Kwong International Conference & Exhibition Co., Ltd, and the Venetian Macao, in order to bid for the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020. Through the joint endeavour of Macao’s different sectors, the city is built into an ideal location for hosting conferences. This solid foundation, together with months of hard work and meticulous planning of the bidding team, brought in the gratifying result – at the final session of this year’s UFI Asia Pacific Conference, the President of UFI announced that the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020 will be staged in Macao. It is the second time for the UFI Asia Pacific Conference to be held in Macao after it was hosted in Macao in 2008.

During this year’s conference, Macao MICE delegation took the chance to meet with nearly 300 influential UFI members and international exhibition elites from all parts of the world. It allowed the delegation to update themselves with the latest developments of sector while exposing to the world the advantages of Macao’s exhibition and conference facilities and IPIM’s “One-stop Service” for Bidding MICE and Support. It also allowed Macao’s exhibition industry to internationalise itself and gain international exposure.
