When life throws you a pandemic, you go virtual!

Malaysian Media Conference (MMC) now free and virtual with MMC Tuesdays!

The 14th Malaysian Media Conference (MMC) was set to take place at the Sime Darby Convention Center on 23 October, which is just a week from today.

However, following the government’s announcement on a statewide CMCO starting October 14, MMC 2020 will no longer be held as a physical conference.

Which is why we’re proud to introduce MMC Tuesdays!

MMC Tuesdays is essentially our solution to turning what was supposed to be a one-day physical conference into a 4-part virtual mini-conference, aired Live on our Facebook page every Tuesday in November.

The conference content will remain the same, except we decided to divide it across four days so you don’t have to spend eight consecutive hours in front of your screen.

What makes this more exciting is MMC Tuesdays will be completely FREE for everyone to tune in.

In addition to participating in the live event for free, all attendees will have the opportunity to submit their questions to specific speakers and panelists prior to the event. Questions that are submitted before 23 October will be answered directly by our speakers and panelists!
