Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre recently received the Prominent Company Award at the inaugural Malaysia Independence Award 1957 for its role in helping to build the country’s reputation as a preferred destination for meetings and events. It has hosted many global medical conferences lately, including the 13th International Congress of Infectious Diseases 2008; and the 20th Video Urology World Congress 2009, which included 11 live surgeries via videoconference from the city’s Hospital Kuala Lumpur during the plenary sessions.

Coming soon to the KLCC are the 14th Asia Oceania Congress of Endocrinology and the 10th International Conference on Low Vision.
