In today's increasingly competitive business environment, companies must not only strengthen their brand influence but also manage operating costs effectively in order to maintain long-term competitiveness.
Organised by the Asia Pacific TOP Excellence Brand Committee (APC), the APC CEO Talk will be held on 1 August 2026 (Saturday) at 1:00 PM at APC Headquarters. The event will feature two distinguished speakers who will share practical insights on brand development and smart energy management with business owners and entrepreneurs.
The first keynote speaker, Dato' Prof. Dr. Albert Tan, President of the APC, will present a session titled "Brand Positioning & Momentum". He will share valuable strategies on how businesses can build stronger brand influence, enhance market recognition, and leverage branding to create greater commercial value, enabling companies to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
The second keynote speaker, Vonny Lai, Founder of ACO ECO Sdn. Bhd., brings over ten years of experience in solar photovoltaic system design and construction. Her session will focus on one of the most common challenges faced by businesses today—rising electricity costs.
Many companies experience increasing electricity bills despite having no factory expansion or additional equipment. While businesses strive to control expenses, the real cause often lies in hidden operational costs that are easily overlooked.
During the session, Vonny will explore how smarter energy management strategies can effectively reduce electricity charges associated with Maximum Demand (MD). By lowering fixed operating costs without affecting daily business operations, companies can improve operational efficiency, strengthen profitability, and enhance their overall competitiveness.
In addition to the keynote sessions, the event will also feature a business networking session, providing entrepreneurs, business owners, and brand leaders from various industries with the opportunity to exchange ideas, build meaningful business relationships, and explore potential collaborations. Guided by the spirit of "Connecting Through Meaningful Conversations", the event aims to create a relaxed yet high-quality networking environment where every connection has the potential to become a valuable business opportunity.
