“After three decades of organizing trade show, finally we’re able to help put the Philippine MICE industry in the map,” said Patrick-Lawrence Tan, CEO of Global-Link MP. “We started the business just loving the thrill and adrenalin rush of organizing trade exhibits. Now we’re here, organizing some of the biggest exhibitions in the country. There’s a long list of companies and people I owe my deepest gratitude to because they helped us reach where we are today and in order for me to stand here before you, undeserving but appreciative.”
