Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre secures award for Best Convention Centre in Southeast Asia
Marking a significant milestone in its 20th anniversary year, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) has been named Best Convention Centre in Southeast Asia by APAC Insider's Business Awards 2024. This prestigious recognition reinforces the Centre’s position as a pioneer in sustainable innovation and world-class event experiences.
The APAC Insider’s Business Awards aim to recognise organisations that excel in their industries, drive economic growth, and set benchmarks for excellence. KLCC’s award win underscores its strengths in delivering unparalleled services and pioneering innovative sustainable practices in the business events industry.
John Burke, General Manager of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre noted “this recognition, especially in our milestone year, validates our commitment to excellence and sustainable practices.
“As Malaysia’s premier purpose-built venue, we’re not just providing an event space - we’re empowering our clients to make environmentally conscious choices. Our success demonstrates that excellence in events and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.”
Sustainability remains at the core of the Centre’s operations, with initiatives aligned to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In 2024, the premier venue achieved an impressive 100% food waste diversion through an enhanced composting method. With its subscription to the Green Energy Tariff (GET) program, KLCC has significantly accelerated its transition to renewable energy, surpassing its initial target for completion by 2050.
To meet evolving industry demands, KLCC continues to prioritise innovation through strategic enhancements in its offerings. Recent upgrades include advanced LED displays and audio-visual systems, and the integration of smart controls in meeting rooms, further elevating client experience and at the same time, reflects KLCC’s adaptability and forward-thinking solutions, ensuring it remains a leader in the business events industry.
Burke added “looking ahead, we will continue to enhance our offerings with planned facility expansions and technology integrations to meet the dynamic demands of the evolving business events landscape. In combining our stellar operational excellence with environmental responsibility, we at the Centre remain focused on creating meaningful and impactful events while strengthening Malaysia's position as a premier business events destination in Southeast Asia.”
Over two decades of excellence, KLCC has hosted more than 21,800 events, welcomed nearly 30 million delegates, and generated RM12.3 billion in economic impact, establishing itself as a cornerstone of Malaysia’s business events industry.
