KUALA LUMPUR: Penang Halal International (PHI) will be organising the Penang International Halal Expo and Conference 2022 (PIHEC2022) from July 1 to 3 this year.
The annual event, which was put on hold the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic would be themed "Building Resilience and Sustainability Towards Stronger Growth".
PHI chief executive officer Fazil Irwan Som said the event aimed at promoting halal brands for business survival post-pandemic.
"This year's expo and conference will be focusing on the halal supply chain within Asean countries.
"We will also be bringing together the best trade communities in the region, to discuss post-pandemic coordination issues such as digital adaptation in halal products, logistics sector challenges due to high inflation as well as global food security.
"We aim to get about 700 participants for the conference, and more headcount for the expo this year," he told the press at a breaking of fast event with the media this evening.
