10 Annual Major Exhibition Events in Malaysia
Each year, there are many exhibitions held in different areas of Malaysia. Here I would love to share with you 10 of the most famous exhibition events in Malaysia that are being held annually. And most of the events are held in the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre) which happened to be the iconic convention centre strategically located in a busy city in Malaysia. You may already attend some of the events before but for those who never know of their existence, it can be good information for them if they are interested in some of the events that being introduced below.
Mega Career Fair
This is the major careers fair mostly held in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It brings all the major companies in the region to participate in this event so that those who are looking for a career can easily find the one that matches their major. By attending the fair, a person can apply for a job from the company that he/she admires.
here are companies that took part in this event to offer internship and full-time work opportunities for all people who are looking to get hired.
Overall, it is an ideal event in Malaysia organised for most people but from the previous feedback of those who paid their visit to the fair, they found that it lacked of opportunities for those in the arts, social sciences, and food & beverages field.
Also, some people noticed that even though the event was great with a lot of company stands, there are not many job opportunities for foreigners as most of the employers only hire locals.
Hopefully, everything is going to improve in the next Mega Career Fair.

Wedding Fair
Most of the wedding boutique love to hold their wedding exhibition at Mid Valley. There is no difference for KLPJ Wedding Fair. Every year there will be at least one fair that is taking place in Mid Valley for the exhibitors.
For wedding boutiques, they need to have strong creative background and interest in art, interiors, history, and fashion. They can therefore envisage many different ideas and concepts and think of ways to make venues and ideas fit and work for people.
As a visitor, you will need to be a bargain-hunter and enjoy the “hunt” of finding perfect things for the right price. This is a key skill when couples are working on a tight budget but don’t want to compromise on style or quality. Consumers can go the extra mile which is so important when planning for their wedding.
The important thing for most exhibitors is to give brides confidence in you and your ability as a person. If customers feel confident in you, they are far more likely to trust you and believe that you’ll do all you can for them and to achieve their wishes.
Therefore, in a wedding fair, an exhibitor always has to be understanding too as this is one of the biggest days of their life and they are potentially spending a lot of money, so they need to feel like they are in good, trustworthy hands!

TCE Baby Expo
You can see a lot of baby events in Malaysia. Among the baby event that is very popular is the TCE Baby Expo. This baby expo is supported by some of the industry’s biggest names including Aprica, BabyBjorn, Bio-Oil, Butt Naked Baby, Combi, Dr Brown, Drypers, Enfagrow A+, Enfamama A+, Early Learning Centre (ELC by Mothercare), Friso® Gold, Gerber, Graco, Hauck, Heinz, Huggies®, Maclaren, MAM, MamyPoko, Maxi-Cosi, Medela, Mothercare, Motorola, Peg Perego, Philips AVENT, Pureen, Putto’s Angel Magic, Quinny, Stephen Joseph, Tommee Tippee, and over 700 brands to this industry
You can find a lot of ideas for what to buy for your baby when you are visiting a baby fair. For many parents, the first priority item that they are looking for would be diapers. Pampers seem to be the brand most parents are searching for.
Some expectant moms may start to buy bay items very early. This is not a bad idea at all to buy earlier cause when your belly is getting bigger and bigger, you will be very lazy, have little energy to walk, and you might have no mood to do the shopping anymore. Also, buying earlier will not make you feel spent out of money when you get a lot of baby things to buy at the last minute.
Anyway, it is good for the expo to spare extra seats for pregnant women to relax. There are times when I was in a baby expo, I saw most of the chairs being occupied by men.
