Penang will be hosting its largest incentive group convention once again after a hiatus of 2 years. The renowned V-Convention Malaysia by V Global will be coming back with close to13,000 delegates from 50 countries.
The five-day event will see a series of motivational speeches, product, and services training, a trade exhibition as well as a corporate conference happening simultaneously at Setia SPICE Convention Centre. Themed 'Be The Change', the conference serves as a platform to motivate
individuals to not only improve their lives and the lives of others but at the same time to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship.

Quoting the theme of the convention this year, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow quoted, "I would  like to highlight the theme of this year's V-convention which goes as, BE THE CHANGE that caught my attention. It's indeed an amazing message to people of all ages that all failures and successes must be reaped with our own hands. It's pivotal to find our purpose, paving the way, and choose to be the creators of our own journeys. And I have to mention that Penang has always stood by this and created a name and legacy on its own. And the milestones achieved by Penang during these years are significant and impeccable."

The convention will show that the Penang industry is now ready, capable, and well-equipped to welcome a large number of delegates for conferences such as the V-convention. It paves the way to raise the standards and put Penang on a global pedestal as a capable and preferred Incentive and tourism destination in the Asia Pacific.

Most importantly, this convention is set to play a significant role in activating the incentive travel sectors again in order to boost demand for the destination. And, this will be a great opportunity in strengthening the state tourism sector.

Dato' Sri Subahan Kamal, representing V Global Management and QI Group said, "We have been waiting for this day for almost 3 years now! Penang has been the home of the V-Convention since 2008 over the past 15 years bringing over 200,000 people to this beautiful island. We've missed being back here. This is our biggest event of the year and a very important platform for us as we celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship over a 5-day period.

We are looking forward to welcoming around 13,000 entrepreneurs from around the world to this beautiful island. We will also be bringing in more than 200 staff and global dignitaries to give our participants a memorable experience as they get to know not just our company, but also explore all the delegates that Penang has to offer .We want to show the world that Malaysia is back and Penang is the place to visit!”

The conference is expected to be attended by V Global leaders all around the globe. The wealth of knowledge and expertise that the convention will bring to Penang will not only benefit and enrich the entrepreneurs but also catapults the local tourism sector. The 5 days conference is expecting estimated delegates of 13,000 pax and an economic impact of RM157 million.
