There are 19 bonsai and Suiseki clubs in Malaysia & leading regional organizations support the event for Malaysia in the spirit of unity. The non-profit Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture Malaysia in support of international events.

We'll provide delegates with once-in-a-lifetime city excursions before and after the conference. All Malaysian bonsai clubs have 2,500 members. Approximately 300 local and 700 international registrations are expected. To spread bonsai love in this region, we desire 1,000 registrations and 50,000 show visitors.
