The announcements, including that of re-elected ICCA President, James Rees, were made at the 59th ICCA General Assembly in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has
added two new representatives to its Asia Pacific board of directors,
both industry stalwarts from Malaysia.
Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud joins with multiple awards in his service
as CEO of the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB). Dato’
Sri Khani hopes to encourage ICCA towards APAC investments, while
simultaneously carrying out a strategic market intelligence study for
the region.
"Let us focus on the sustainable growth of the region and increase benefits to ICCA members,” he said.
He is joined by Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre’s (KLCC) director of
global business development & marketing, Angeline van den Broecke.
“Of great relevance to me is for venues to be vocal and demonstrate
the value they provide as social and economic drivers, [and] as
important infrastructure assets to cities and communities.”
With experience in both the private and public sectors, her key areas
of expertise are in global business development and acquisition,
strategic marketing and organisational and destination growth
initiatives, as well as partnership and alliance engagement models.
