Getting to Wellness Summit 2008

If this is your first visit to Malaysia, you will be delighted to know that you will be going through one of the world’s best airports, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang which has a serene environment in line with its ‘airport in the forest and forest in the airport’ concept. This award-winning airport has received numerous accolades including ‘The Brand Laureate’, the Grammy Awards for branding for Best Brands Transportation Airport 2006-2007.

From KLIA, a 35-minute drive will lead you to Palace of the Golden Horses, official venue of the fourth Wellness Summit. Although the Wellness Summit will only be held later in the year in October, you are advised to book a place early so that you have ample time to make your travel plans. 

For Malaysian nationals or residents, the Wellness Summit venue is only 20 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur city centre.

Please view our programme or visit the venue page.

We hope you will join us at Wellness Summit 2008 from October 15 - 17, 2008.

Selamat Datang!
