Plenty of space choices
THE convention and exhibition industry is growing rapidly these days. And one of the factors for a successful meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition (MICE) or business event is location.
The business events industry has become increasingly important for companies as venues become platforms to gather, network, learn and share ideas, as well as offer opportunities to build lasting relationships.
Recently crowned winner in The Edge Top Property Developers Awards 2017 for the 10th time, property developer SP Setia is making its mark in the Malaysian business event industry.
