The MPOB International Palm Oil Congress and Exhibition (PIPOC) is a biennial event organised by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). PIPOC will once again be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) which offers a stimulating environment for conferences and exhibitions.
PIPOC 2017 is expected to draw more than 8000 participants and trade visitors comprising mainly CEOs, directors, researchers, policy makers, plantation managers, millers, traders, export personnel and all those who are involved directly and indirectly in the palm oil industry, from 50 countries. It will be one of the world’s largest palm oil technical and trade congregations.
PIPOC has five concurrent conferences to provide a strategic platform for interaction and in-depth deliberation of the many facets of oil palm and the palm oil industry, on innovations, latest developments, challenges and the way forward for the industry.
The theme for PIPOC 2017, ‘Treasuring the Past, Charting the Future’, is timely with the commemoration of 100 years of commercial planting of oil palm in Malaysia. The theme reflects an emphasis on the vital aspects of research and development and commercialisation in the effort to chart the way forward for the palm oil industry. The Congress will provide participants with a platform to explore opportunities for further advancements in the technologies related to the palm oil industry.
A trade exhibition with more than 340 exhibition booths will also be held throughout the Congress to provide opportunities for delegates to view and discuss current technologies, state-of-the art equipments and products related to the oils and fats industry. The exhibition also provides networking opportunities for buyers and sellers.
We value your presence at this Congress to hear what the industry experts and researchers have to share about the oil palm industry technology advancements and their impact on our businesses and daily lives. We would also love to hear your thoughts and opinions at this not-to-be missed event – PIPOC 2017, from 14-16 November at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
Thank you, and we look forward to your confirmed participation.
