As 2024 comes to a close, the Venue Management Association [Asia and Pacific] has looked back on “a year of growth, collaboration, and learning”.

In a social media post, the VMA executive team advised “we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported us throughout the year.”

It stated “from our incredible members, dedicated sponsors and talented speakers and instructors, your commitment drives our success. The VMA community thrives because of your passion, expertise, and generosity. This year, we’ve had the privilege of delivering valuable programs like the VMA Congress, the Venue Management School, Mentoring Program, and numerous other events, all made possible by your continued support.

“We’re grateful for the collective energy that helps shape the future of venue management. The VMA Board, office team, speakers, instructors, and everyone behind the scenes - thank you for your hard work and dedication in ensuring our events run smoothly and our vision moves forward.

“Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited for the new opportunities and challenges that await. With your collaboration, we’ll continue to innovate, grow, and strengthen our industry’s position.

“We wish you a joyful holiday season filled with rest, reflection, and time with loved ones. Let’s celebrate our accomplishments and step into the new year with renewed purpose and enthusiasm.”
