Another Success!

The 13th Post Graduate Education Fair 2010 (PGEF) which was held from 8th to 10th October 2010 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre was officially graced by YB Senator Dato’ Maznah Binti Mazlan, Deputy Minister of Human Resources. The 13th Post Graduate Education Fair 2010 was held for the 9th consecutive year was our 13th edition which offered universities and institutions a valuable platform to showcase courses and relevant information to working professionals and graduates. PGEF is served to connect the bridges and move audience one step further in their lives by providing professional advice on specific subject areas and future career path opportunities.
PGEF is Malaysia’s largest postgraduate education fair and has attracted more than half a million visitors since year 2002. This is also the first time the PGEF is held twice a year. As we believe that no matter what industry we are in, getting a master or doctorate degree inside and outside of our field will enhance our career substantially. It also broadens our horizons and enable us to see a different perspective. Thus, the PGEF is held to promote the Lifelong Learning culture among Malaysians.

With our concerted efforts in presenting the largest postgraduate education fair during the 3 days exhibition at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, our events attracted 98,269 working professionals and graduates during the 3 days event which comprises of (46%) male and (54%) female. Extensive publicity in respect of print media, social media, online media, outdoor banners, buntings, billboards, talk shows, advertorials, press releases were organised before, during and post event.

The event attracted about 60 institutions including Singapore, Taiwan, German, France, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Netherlands, Brunei, Thailand and of course, Malaysia participated in the 13th Post Graduate Education Fair. With the large number of international participants, the International Pavilion with upgraded shell scheme was formed to effectively help foreign institutions / universities to promote their courses and study experience. In a nutshell, the objective of PGEF is to provide an all-under-one-roof channel to the audience as talking to the right people is the most important aspect for decision making process when choosing an international or local Post Graduate program!

Talents play a key role in our nation’s economy and prosperity. With some RM 118 billion worth of projects set to kick off this year under the Economic Transformation Programme, the need for talents across the country is greater than ever. Besides delivering top Malaysian talents to employers, it is essential to also ensure jobseekers understand that continuing education is an important part of keeping our skills and knowledge level at par with the best in the world. This is important if we were to reach our goals to become a high income economy. AIC Exhibitions, as the organiser for this event, will continue our concerted efforts in creating a bigger platform and enhancing values to all the working professionals and graduates to achieve both their personal and career goals.
