Sands China Welcomes Over 6,000 International Financial
Professionals for Prestigious MDRT Global Conference 

It is the first time the large-scale annual event has been held in Macao, 
reinforcing its position as a world-class MICE destination

（Macao, Aug. 27, 2025）– Sands China Ltd. proudly hosted MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table), The Premier Association of Financial Professionals®, for its MDRT Global Conference from August 24-27, 2025. One of the most prestigious gatherings in the international MICE calendar, the event attracted over 6,000 financial service professionals from more than 35 countries. 

The successful delivery of this large-scale conference demonstrated Sands China’s, and Macao’s, impressive infrastructure, further elevating the city’s growing reputation as a premier MICE destination. Macao’s selection as host city also reinforces its ability to compete with the best globally, and highlights its evolution into a dynamic hub for high-profile, internationally-attended MICE activities. Always held in a renowned location, previous conferences have taken place in Dubai, Singapore and Sydney. 

Sean McCreery, Executive Vice President of Operations, Sands China Ltd. said, "The conference is the city’s first large-scale association conference post-pandemic, and to be the host destination  reaffirms Macao’s growing global presence on the elite business stage. Macao continues to evolve into an important centre where business, culture, and connectivity converge, and we’re proud to play a role in that transformation.”

Alex Che, President of Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute of the Macao SAR (IPIM), added, "It was an honour to welcome MDRT to Macao. Attracting top financial professionals from around the world to Macao reflects its appeal as a destination for world-class business events, highlighting not only our outstanding convention infrastructure and seamless travel access, but also our emergence into modern finance as a key sectoral strength. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have welcomed MDRT and are confident that Macao’s business events ecosystem and cultural distinctiveness make it the ideal setting for high-impact global gatherings like this.”

Unmatched Scale, Seamless Delivery
Throughout the four-day programme, MDRT members heard from a variety of expert speakers and engaged in networking and cultural activities - mostly within Sands Resorts® Macao, an unparalleled single venue that eliminated logistical complexity and maximised engagement. Experiences were spread across its integrated resorts, including The Venetian® Macao, The Parisian Macao, and The Londoner® Macao – collectively offering almost 11,000 rooms and suites, more than 150 restaurants, and over 150,000 square metres of flexible MICE space. This unmatched scale and integration allows Sands China to easily deliver seamless and inspiring events. 

Stephanie Tanpure, Vice President of Sales, Sands China Ltd. said, "Behind every great MICE success story are the people who brought it to life. In this case, it was the MDRT organising team; the delegates, who came with incredible energy and purpose; and our own teams, who worked tirelessly to ensure an exceptional conference. This week was a powerful reminder that people are at the heart of it all and it’s those connections that truly elevate Macao’s international MICE status.”

Carol Kheng, ChFC, 2025 MDRT President said, “Sands Resorts Macao provided beautiful and convenient spaces for our worldwide membership to connect, share ideas and learn how to better serve their clients. The top-tier facilities enabled MDRT to deliver informative sessions to our members, who seized opportunities to explore emerging trends, refine their business strategies and expand their global networks.”

As Macao continues to raise its profile, the successful execution of the MDRT Global Conference sends a strong message: Macao is not only open for business, it is ready to inspire, connect, and lead as a preferred destination for international MICE.
