After a highly successful debut earlier this year, The Meetings Show Asia
Pacific has strengthened its team with the appointment of Nelson Khoo as its
new event director.
This strategic hire comes as the show looks to build on
strong momentum and capitalise on significant interest from new and returning
exhibitors ahead of the 2025 edition, which will take place on 16-17 April at
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
Nelson brings more than 16 years of
experience in the events sector and officially took on the role in September.
As event director, he will be responsible for shaping the overall programme development, ensuring alignment with global standards, while driving innovation
and growth across the Asia-Pacific region.
Nelson also takes on the role for
the newly announced Business Travel Show Asia Pacific, which will be co-located
with The Meetings Show APAC. His focus will include uniting and coordinating
the efforts of teams working across three continents to deliver an elevated
experience for exhibitors and attendees alike.
Before joining Northstar, Nelson
served as head of events for Southeast Asia at CWT Travel Services, where he
successfully managed a diverse portfolio of events, including large-scale
conferences with thousands of delegates.
“We are delighted to welcome Nelson to The Meetings Show APAC at such a pivotal
moment,” said David Blansfield, executive vice president of Northstar Meetings
Group. “The Asia-Pacific region is a critical market for us, and Nelson’s
expertise and vision will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our
presence and elevate our team in this dynamic region.”
The Meetings Show Asia Pacific
is part of the Northstar Travel Group and represents the largest show launch in
the company’s history, exceeding expectations in both revenue and attendance.
