INNOVATION
XCHANGE
CONNECT
TriBE Innovation is an initiative that is designed to propel Sarawak’s business events leaders, industry players and stakeholders to newer heights and is aligned with BESarawak’s direction to build stronger communities.
As Sarawak continues to mature in business events, the need to raise the standards of the business events supplier chain became vital to Sarawak’s positioning and future success. Sarawak’s successes can only be sustainable by working closely with the local industry players, potential local hosts and the government.
Through the success of Redefining Global Tribe campaign, the Tribal Warrior Challenge and the TriBE 2018, BESarawak: Educating has evolved to be TriBE: Innovation, with the vision “To be Sarawak’s Primary Education and Innovation Arm in all Core areas of Business Events”.
Knowledge Camp
Knowledge Camps are short courses or webinars that cover a wide range of topics, such as general management, motivation, human resources, marketing, tourism, basics of business events, and various how-to sessions relating to business events. These short sessions, which are no more than an hour-long per session, are led and shared by selected industry experts in a short and crisp format that will keep you wanting for more.
All these sessions are developed and delivered to you at no cost. Anyone can attend the session, as long as they are a part of the Campus Community. All registered BEPartners are part of the Campus Community.
Associations Connect Series: How can associations create more income and become more sustainable?
The cornerstone of every association’s survival is how financially sustainable they are. Join our conversation with Dr. Lydia Makaroff from the World Bladder Cancer Coalition along with Jodie Sim and Genevieve Tan from the Sarawak Children Cancer Society to get some great ideas on how to generate more income especially during the current pandemic.
Business Event Wellness Podcast Series: Overcoming Stigma of Mental Illness
Several studies have found that social isolation, poor housing and homelessness, unemployment, and poverty are among the few linked to mental illnesses. It’s time for society to break the silence on mental health and confront what’s really going on. In this episode, we talk to Hazel Saw and Joachim Then on how the pandemic has affected conversations surrounding mental health, about how their respective communities react to this particular topic, and how we can advocate for better mental health awareness.
Business Event Wellness Podcast Series: Depression, Anxiety, Burnout and Business Events Industry
It’s more important than ever to address the mental health issues faced by event professionals. In this episode, Kimberley Tan speaks to Vera Pillai, a clinical psychologist at Thrive Well, and Mona Manap about their personal battles and how each manages stress, anxiety and burnout especially during one of the most stressful moments - COVID-19.
BESarawak works in collaboration with experts and other professional associations to deliver world-class programmes. Some of these Masterclass programmes will also award participants CE hours so that they can register to sit for relevant internationally recognised certification.
The Masterclass will be divided into two major categories; one that is created for Industry needs and the other for Associations. There will also be occasional programmes designed to address the needs and challenges faced by both Industry and Association.
These programmes are heavily sponsored for the benefit of our business events community and anyone who is interested can register to be in our Campus Community to take advantage of this golden opportunity.
