Deliver world-class event experiences in Vietnam's rapidly growing MICE sector with AI that complies with the Personal Data Protection Law and Cybersecurity Law.
Vietnam's events and MICE sector is growing rapidly as the country positions itself as a regional business hub, with the digital economy reaching USD 36 billion in 2024. The Personal Data Protection Law effective January 2026 introduces strict consent requirements for attendee data processing, with penalties up to 5% of revenue. The Cybersecurity Law requires foreign platforms providing internet services in Vietnam to store user data locally for 24 months, affecting international event management platforms. Vietnam's AI Law (Law 134/2025) mandates human oversight in AI decisions, which impacts automated attendee matching and engagement scoring systems. Only 15-20% of the broader workforce has business-level English, making Vietnamese-language event technology and bilingual support essential for domestic events.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in ASEAN, with a young, tech-savvy workforce and a thriving startup ecosystem. The Digital Vietnam 2030 vision and vocational training subsidies are creating strong tailwinds for AI adoption across industries.

Official SourceREGULATORY LANDSCAPE
Vietnam's AI Law (Law 134/2025), effective March 2026, establishes a risk-based classification system requiring mandatory pre-market conformity assessments for high-risk AI and human oversight for all AI decisions. The Personal Data Protection Law (effective January 2026) introduces revenue-based penalties up to 5% for data transfer violations, replacing Decree 13/2023's framework. The Cybersecurity Law (Decree 53/2022) requires 24-month local data storage for Vietnamese user data. Organisations should assess which of their AI applications fall under the high-risk category and prepare governance documentation before enforcement mechanisms are finalised.
CHALLENGES IN VIETNAM
Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law effective January 2026 introduces revenue-based penalties up to 5% for data violations. Organisations must implement explicit consent mechanisms, 72-hour breach notification, and impact assessments for cross-border data transfers.
The AI Law (Law 134/2025) establishes a risk-based classification system requiring conformity assessments for high-risk AI. Organisations must evaluate which of their AI applications fall into high-risk categories and prepare governance documentation accordingly.
Only 15-20% of Vietnam's workforce has business-level English. AI training programmes and tools must be delivered in Vietnamese with localised examples to achieve meaningful adoption across teams.
While 73% of Vietnamese companies have adopted AI, only 13.8% have deployed at scale. Organisations need structured rollout frameworks to move beyond pilots and achieve enterprise-wide AI deployment.
OUR PROCESS
We assess your current event planning workflows, technology stack, vendor ecosystem, and typical event profiles (size, complexity, geographic spread). This includes interviews with planners, operations teams, and client-facing staff to identify your highest-impact automation opportunities.
We tailor modules to your event types (conferences, exhibitions, incentive travel, hybrid events), regional markets (Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, KL), and team structure. All examples use real MICE scenarios from Southeast Asia — Marina Bay Sands conferences, BITEC Bangkok exhibitions, KLCC KL events.
Interactive workshops where participants build AI workflows for their actual events. Each module combines concept explanation with immediate practice on tasks like vendor RFP automation, attendee registration intelligence, budget forecasting, and timeline dependency mapping.
Participants develop 2-3 AI use case proposals specific to their event portfolio — venue selection automation, vendor coordination platforms, or multi-city logistics dashboards — with ROI projections and implementation roadmaps ready for leadership review.
30-day post-programme support includes office hours, Slack access, implementation coaching on your first AI-assisted event, and a follow-up session to review adoption progress and address emerging challenges as you scale AI across your event portfolio.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Event agencies and MICE companies handling 3+ events per month seeking efficiency gains
Conference organisers managing complex multi-track events with 200+ attendees
Exhibition companies coordinating vendors, exhibitors, and logistics across Southeast Asia
Incentive travel planners managing multi-city programmes with complex attendee requirements
Corporate events teams overwhelmed by coordination tasks and looking to scale capacity without hiring
Individual event planners (this is a team programme — try our AI Readiness Fundamentals instead)
Organisations handling only 1-2 simple events per year (ROI may not justify investment)
Teams already using advanced AI event platforms and seeking cutting-edge innovation (try our Engineering tier)

WHY PERTAMA PARTNERS
While Vietnamese market leaders like FPT (USD 2.47 billion revenue, USD 7.7 billion market cap) and VinAI (top-20 global AI R&D) offer strong local capability, and global consultancies (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Accenture) provide enterprise advisory, Pertama Partners occupies a distinctive position: we combine cross-ASEAN regulatory expertise spanning the AI Law, PDPL, and Cybersecurity Law with structured, practitioner-led training methodology validated across multiple Southeast Asian markets. Unlike large consultancies, we focus exclusively on practical AI capability building rather than theoretical advisory. Unlike local tech companies, we bring regulatory knowledge across ASEAN jurisdictions, enabling Vietnamese enterprises expanding regionally to build consistent AI governance frameworks.
Vietnamese-language delivery is essential: only 15-20% of the workforce has business-level English proficiency. All training materials, exercises, and documentation must be provided in Vietnamese with bilingual facilitators available. Vietnamese corporate training culture traditionally favours lecture-based, instructor-led methods; however, AI training benefits from hands-on labs and practical demonstrations. We recommend a blended approach: structured presentations followed by guided hands-on practice with Vietnamese-language AI tools. Delivery should focus on practical application to Vietnamese business contexts, with case studies drawn from local industry examples where possible. Delivery is recommended in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, where 90% of Vietnam's tech talent and business headquarters are concentrated.
