PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will house South-East Asia’s largest meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) venue following the combination of the Malaysia Exposition and Convention Centre (MyExpo) and existing Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) by 2021.
When officiating the groundbreaking ceremony of MyExpo at Precint 5 in the nation’s administrative capital on Tuesday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the convention centre with a total gross floor area of 1.5 million sq ft would be the largest exhibition centre in Malaysia on completion in 2020.
MyExpo, which features unique design and can accommodate 60,000 people at a time, had projected a total annual revenue of RM500mil, he said.
