Re: Expanding the ACCCIM YEC’s Event
I like to propose to ACCCIM 青商团 to hold a concurrent business expo and business matching events during ACCCIM AGM and YEC (the event can be extended from 2 days to 4 days).
Reasons:-
- to attact ACCCIM members who had been attending YEC for more than 3 years and may be loosing interest in YEC if the event is on talk only;
- for the new members/ young entreprenuers, they can listen to successful entreprenuers sharing their success (this is the current model of YEC);
- for the mature members/seasoned entreprenuers, they can do business matching or showcase their products and services to members of other states, effetively show casing to whole of Malaysia;
- to use ACCCIM YEC as a platform for creating business opportunies among ACCCIM members (right now YEC is focusing on talking/sharing);
- since the visitor numbers is substantially huge during the ACCCIM AGM and YEC, we can utilise this time to hold or launch concurrent events (this will reduce the advertising and promotion cost to pull the crowd and to have better bargaining power with hotel);
- long term goal — to make ACCCIM YEC an international event where it can draw international visitors/entreprenuers and ACCCIM members can use this platform to find new business opportunities with local as well as overseas partners, e.g. COMPUTEX was originally a local event but became an international event;
- furthermore the theme of ACCCIM YEC this year was “Global Opportunities, Malaysia and Beyond”, therefore, ACCCIM YEC should also go global.
