Welcome Message
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at the 18th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical
Physics (AOCMP) in conjunction with the 16th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics
(SEACOMP), which will be held at Connexion Conference & Event Centre (CCEC), Nexus, Bangsar
South City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 11 to 14 November 2018.
AOCMP and SEACOMP are both important annual events in medical physics. The objective of the
congress is to gather the medical physics and allied health professionals in the region for the sharing
of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange and medical technologies updates.
This is the second time Malaysia is given the honour to host this event (the first time was in year
2004). The congress is expected to attract more than 400 participants from the professions of
medical physics, biomedical engineering, radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiation
protection, biophysics, radiobiology and the related fields.
The theme for this conference is “A Sustainable Future for Medical Physics”. We have put
forward a comprehensive scientific programme including orations, talks by eminent speakers, oral
paper presentations, poster presentations, lunch symposiums, panel discussions and some pre-
congress workshops that cover most of the disciplines in medical physics, i.e. diagnostic and
interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, radiation protection, radiobiology and new
emerging techniques. We also look forward to promote collaboration between the various disciplines
and our regional partners.
Malaysia sits at the heart of Asia, the largest and fastest growing economic country in the region.
The country enjoys multicultural diversity, a multitude of venue and accommodation options, as well
as an exceptional range of travel experiences for visitors attending business and leisure events. The
congress will take place at the Connexion Conference & Events Centre, Bangsar South City, Kuala
Lumpur which is a new emerging and exciting city within the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territories. There
are so much to see and experience in Kuala Lumpur as well as in Malaysia. We suggest you to
spend some time before or after the congress to explore the beauty of this city.
We look forward to welcoming you in a warm Malaysian way, “Selamat Datang!”
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Chai-Hong Yeong

KUALA LUMPUR IN BRIEFA city that is truly one-of-a-kind. You’ll find the world in this city but you’ll never find anything quite like it anywhere else in the world.
For starters, KL (as we fondly call it) has its very own global icon in the PETRONAS Twin Towers, soaring 452 metres above street level and 88 stories tall. This mega structure towers majestically over KL, presenting a universal view of the icon from any corner of the city. Just beneath the Twin Towers are Malaysia’s best shopping spots, featuring haute couture brands to trendy street fashions. For those with a penchant for Broadway-like theatres, meet KL’s talented acting community that brings you fine shows and performances from the traditional to the satirical. Partygoers will find KL’s vibrant night scenes perfect to satiate their appetite for the most happening places to party.
But of course, if you yearn to experience the traditional old world appeal of Malaysia’s culture and values, the old streets of KL with its captivating day-to-day activities and aromatic smells will charm you. You’ll experience this city, with the echoing music of its entertainment outlets, the beam of vehicle lights searching for the perfect late-night snack and colourful streetlights - a spectacle that proves KL as a definite place to visit for world travellers.
Here, we will show you the must-see destinations and must-do activities that will thrill you for sure. With so many places to go, a trip to KL may seem overwhelming. But to help, we’ve rounded up the best attractions that’ll guide you in and around this amazing city.
