The Halal Certification Bodies Convention (HCBC) returns for its 9th year in 2018. Organised by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), the Islamic authority in Malaysia, HCBC provides an avenue for all key players and contributors of the halal industry to gather under one roof.
The event, stretching across three days instead of two days as in previous years, has the theme Halal Connecting the World in 2018. It is targeted at halal industry players — certification bodies, businesses, and entrepreneurs.
One of the focuses during the convention is to enhance halal certification bodies’ understanding on halal standards in Malaysia, with emphasis on their roles and responsibilities in managing the halal certificates. Ways to strengthen the two-way relationship between Malaysia and international halal certification bodies will also be discussed. The event also aims to strengthen bilateral relations between Malaysia through JAKIM with other participating countries.

For 2018, the colocated 2nd International Halal Training Capacity Development Programme (IHTCDP) event will have an additional training session by the Islamic Tourism of Malaysia (ITC). Existing workshops include Emerald which focuses on halal food and non-food products; Diamond which is about halal food services; Sapphire which covers halal logistics and Ruby, which is about Muslim-friendly tourism.
The Halal Professional Board will also be introducing two training workshops, the Halal Executive (Citrine) course and the Halal Internal Auditor (Pearl) course. Each workshop is open to local and international participants and will consist of five days of training. The resulting certificates are recognised by Halal Professional Board (HPB) Malaysia.
