KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan.
25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2021 edition of ASEAN Super 8,
Southeast Asia's leading trade
show for the built environment brought exclusively by Informa
Markets, will be rescheduled to new dates from 9 -
11 November 2021 at the Malaysia
International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). The leading
trade show was initially scheduled to take place in June 2021. In addition, the International
Construction Week (ICW) hosted by the Construction Industry
Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia will also be moved to the same
date in November 2021. ASEAN
Super 8 held in conjunction with ICW will be featured in a
hybrid form with both Face-to-Face and Virtual Exhibition,
Conferences, Webinar, Business Matching, and Networking
activities.
The decision to reschedule ASEAN Super 8 is taken with regret,
following careful consideration and close consultations with key
stakeholders, exhibitors and industry partners.
ASEAN Super 8 will feature niche expositions namely ASEAN
M&E, TENAGA Expo, ASEAN Lift, ASEAN Solar, ASEAN Light, REVAC
Expo, Futurebuild SEA, Heavy Mach and IFSEC Southeast Asia.
"We believe the revised new dates will allow more time for
normality and confidence to return to the marketplace and provide
all-around better conditions for exhibitors and visitors to
engage," said Gerard
Leeuwenburgh, Country General Manager, Informa Markets
Malaysia.
He added, "I am pleased that our exhibitors, visitors and
stakeholders have leveraged this crisis as an opportunity to
embrace the digital format. The 2021 edition of ASEAN Super 8 held
in conjunction with the ICW will adopt a hybrid format
complementing the physical exhibition. We wish to thank those who
participate in and support ASEAN Super 8, we greatly appreciate
your understanding and regret any inconvenience. We will
continue our commitment to provide an event of enhanced quality to
make your participation a huge success."
Chief Executive of CIDB Malaysia, Datuk Ir. Ahmad 'Asri Abdul
Hamid, said, "The hybrid format for the ICW and ASEAN
Super 8 will address the needs of all exhibitors and visitors,
giving us the flexibility to go fully virtual should the need
arise. The hybrid format was conceived following the success of the
ASEAN Super 8 Virtual Connect Exhibition launched in November 2020. We are working closely with
Informa Markets, industry stakeholders and the relevant government
agencies, and are committed to supporting the entire construction
industry and the continued success of ICW and ASEAN Super 8."
The 2020 edition of ASEAN Super 8 Virtual Connect Exhibition
attracted 31 exhibiting companies covering various industry
sectors, with a solid turnout of 1,132 unique visitors from 37
countries. ASEAN Super 8 Virtual Connect Exhibition digitally
connected built environment industry players with real time trade
opportunities.
In the meantime, ASEAN Super 8 has launched its first and unique
digital platform. Via the ASEAN M&E Traders Connect,
Futurebuild SEA Traders Connect and IFSEC Cyber Hub, the companies
can have their very-own listings and showcase their latest product
offerings virtually to a global audience. This means that
the companies can stay open for business 24/7/365 and connect with
prospective clients via the platform. More information about
digital platform, visit

ASEAN Super 8 continues its work to ensure that the rescheduled
2021 edition of ASEAN Super 8 and ICW from 9 - 11 November
will be another success for all exhibitors, visitors and
industry.
As the organiser, Informa Markets will continue to closely
monitor developments of COVID-19 and will provide timely
communication.
