Once again there will be a chance to take part in a series of workshops targeting local and regional potential buyers as well as governmental officials from the Malaysian Ministry of Education.

BES is a brand associated with quality educational resources events. A key component of the BES strategy is to ensure that the events work as much for the exhibitors as the visitors. This is delivered through a highly personal exhibitor service, to ensure the event reflects the business interests of the participants, and an impressive series of workshops which are considered by visitors as effective professional development opportunities. In addition, Key Note speakers and panel discussions address issues of particular interest to the local educational community.

More importantly, BES Asia have secured the support of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), who view BES Asia as a unique opportunity to deliver their own objectives of sharing best practice and helping UK firms develop business overseas respectively.
