International and regional companies in China, Malaysia, Vietnam Thailand, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Indonesia will now have access to Asia Conventions conference and exhibition management services. "The need for a combined Asia-wide solution for conference and convention management has increased over the past three years," said Asia Conventions president and CEO Mr Christian Frei, who heads the expansion from Bangkok. "In general, the conference, convention and meetings sector will increase by 20% within the next two years in Asia. We also plan to expand our online presence with a joint venture."
