We put so much effort into winning the bid together with SCB who has been there for us from the very early stage of the bidding process.”
“We presented to our colleagues in Finland the uniqueness of Sarawak, our amazing peat land and the credibility and strengths of the Malaysian Peat Society. On behalf of the committee, I am honored that the international decision makers from around the globe has accepted Malaysia’s bid especially as we faced such strong competition from our colleagues in Latvia” She added.
Mrs. Jill Henry, CEO of the Sarawak Convention Bureau added, “Winning this prestigious event will add to the credibility of Sarawak as a preferred MICE destination and also as a new hub for scientists and professional researchers to come together. The Bureau is very thrilled with this bid win and will continue to assist other organisations that are prepared to bid nationally and internationally.”

Since 2006, this is their third conference working with Sarawak Convention Bureau in their bidding and marketing. The committee has been instrumental in the success of the bid, and this will help secure more business meetings and conferences to Sarawak.
