 » Best Benefit Ever: Event Pros Extend Their Reach to Malaysia

**What’s the benefit?** In order to advance its mission within exhibition and events industry, the [International Association of Exhibitions and Events (opens in a new tab)](http://www.iaee.com/)
 (IAEE) has announced a new partnership with the [Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (opens in a new tab)](http://www.maceos.com.my/index.php)
 (MACEOS). Members of both organizations will be able to access each group’s research data and will be able to purchase products and services at a discounted rate. As MACEOS Chief Executive Amos Wong [said in a statement (opens in a new tab)](http://www.iaee.com/articles/detail/IAEE/IAEE-Teams-Up-with-MACEOS-to-Support-Exhibitions-and-Events-in-Malaysia)
, members “can benefit in their upskilling process for the coming years.” They will also be invited to attend major events organized by the two groups.

**Why it works for members:** Having access to data is always useful, especially when it helps members understand and build upon existing best practices in exhibition and event planning. And in an industry where [networking is key](http://associationsnow.com/2014/07/quick-tips-networking-game/)
, the strengthened ties between MACEOS and IAEE can help open the Malaysian events market to the world and provide event planners with brand new venues and inspiration.

**Other Perks:** Both organizations also have useful training programs for members. [IAEE’s CEM Learning Program (opens in a new tab)](http://www.iaee.com/cem/)
 and [MACEOS’ GST Planning Workshop (opens in a new tab)](http://www.maceos.com.my/activities/training/108-training/232-gst-planning-workshop.html)
 give members the opportunity to learn best practices from veterans in the industry and get a leg up on the competition.
