The Business Events industry will continue to be a major contributor to Singapore's tourism performance. Events ranging from corporate meetings, workshops and conferences, all the way to conventions and tradeshows. I have had the opportunity to see (especially from my years as a business events manager) how the coming together of professionals and business executives generate high levels of collaborative initiatives, business development, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for individuals to grow professionally. One of Singapore Tourism Board's newer videos is a great reflection of how impactful business events can be: https://lnkd.in/gKS3Ti3c I do, however, have one caveat. Our tourism industry cannot just rely on Business Events to drive performance. As a destination, we need to be continually looking at how we create and curate new and desired experiences that bring meaning and aspirational fulfilment to potential visitors. Although small, we do have greenfield spaces in Singapore for the development of such products. This requires immediate attention as time is required to develop and build these experience offerings. BUT the Business Events industry is going to remain strong for Singapore!!!

The Business of Events Policy Agenda - objective 4 🌍 Strengthening the UK's position as a global events hub 🌍 The UK has long been a premier destination for international events, from global conferences to world-renowned exhibitions. To maintain and enhance this status, we need more government support to attract international events to our shores. 🏆 Why this matters: 1. Economic boost: International events bring in significant revenue, benefiting local businesses, hotels, restaurants, and transport services. 2. Global influence: Hosting international events enhances the UK's global influence and fosters international collaboration and innovation. 3. Cultural exchange: These events promote cultural exchange, diversity, and understanding, enriching our communities. 📌 Proposed solutions: 1. Increased funding: Allocating more government funding to support bids for international events and provide incentives for event organisers. 2. Marketing campaigns: Launching global marketing campaigns to showcase the UK's strengths as an event destination, including world-class venues, infrastructure, and cultural attractions. 3. Collaboration with industry: Establishing partnerships with industry stakeholders to create a unified strategy for attracting and hosting international events. 🏛️ Call to action: We recommend the UK Government provides more support and resources to attract international events to the UK. Together, we can ensure the UK remains a top choice for global events and continues to thrive as a vibrant, dynamic destination. 👥Followers: share your views and comments #BusinessEvents #UKGovernment #InternationalEvents #PolicyInitiative #EconomicGrowth #GlobalHub #UKElection2024

Chapter 3 | Growing the Business Today I met Nicolas de Ménis at the Fukuoka Convention & Visitors Bureau office. I met with him to discuss a business expansion opportunity. Organizing a Market Entry Exposition here in Fukuoka. The idea was initiated by Paul Yang who I got introduced to by Francis Fung. Organizing this expo will be no easy task; we expect it to take five years for the first edition to take place. But with today's meeting concluded the first step has been made, but there is a long, long way ahead of us. If you are interested or have ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out to me. #marketentry #businessinjapan #international #expo #collaborate #fukuoka #growth

🇫🇷 Discovering International Opportunities with Business France 🇫🇷 At the ProPak Asia 2024 exhibition, held in Bangkok on June 13th, I had the opportunity to meet with Business France and their French Pavilion. I had the chance to talk with Clémentine Roche, Project Manager of the French Pavilion, who explained the role of Business France, especially at international trade shows. Indeed, at international trade shows through the French Pavilions, Business France ensures: - Coordination: Organizing and coordinating the presence of French companies. - Visibility: Grouping the stands under a common banner for greater visibility. - Logistics: Managing the booking and installation of spaces. - Promotion: Showcasing French products and services. - Networking: Facilitating meetings with buyers and partners. - Support: Providing assistance before, during, and after the event. - Training: Offering workshops to optimize participation. I also had the opportunity to discuss the VIE program with Gael Bensoussen, Trade Advisor at Business France. The VIE program allows young French people aged 18 to 28 to undertake assignments abroad for French companies for a period of 6 months to 2 years. This meeting was very informative and pivotal for my career. The commitment of Business France to support French companies internationally and the opportunities offered by the VIE program are remarkable. I recommend taking advantage of their services and initiatives. #ProPakAsia2024 #BusinessFrance #FrenchPavilion #InternationalTrade #VIEProgram #CareerDevelopment #Networking

From Hong Kong to Bodrum, Madrid, and Dubai, it’s been a fascinating month of traveling witnessing firsthand the latest developments across diverse markets. Turning what I do into a global footprint has been both rewarding and humbling. Each destination has provided unique insights, offering a fresh perspective on what South Africa is doing right, what needs improvement, and where future opportunities lie. The support and interest from global companies has been exciting, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with individuals from around the world. It's a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of staying open to new perspectives. One highlight over the past quarter was my visit to Hong Kong, where I had the chance to explore the latest developments at Cathay Pacific. Collaborating with the award-winning Iana Strydom (she took these photos), we delved into how the airline is integrating cutting-edge technology and personalized service to elevate the flying experience for passengers. As I continue to share my experiences and insights through platforms like The Sandton Times and various speaking engagements, I'm energized by the pace of change and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. The world is evolving rapidly, and it's essential to stay agile and proactive in embracing innovation and the SHIFT. So, if you're planning an event in 2024 that deserves nothing less than high energy, charm and a touch of humour with some global insights, let's connect and make sure your next event levels-up – be it an awards ceremony, forum, a conference, or an executive retreat! Together, we can make your event a resounding success, keep the audience captivated, create a vibrant atmosphere, and ensure that each moment is filled with excitement, meaning and a laugh for good measure!
