The event, endorsed by Tourism Malaysia, welcomed over 10,000 independent distributors from more than 30 countries, serving as a powerful testament to the company’s global community and the significant economic benefits of its flagship events.

Held for the 13th consecutive year in Penang, the five-day convention underscored Malaysia’s position as a premier MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination.

The partnership with Tourism Malaysia highlighted how major corporate events drive tourism, hospitality, and local economic activity.

A Global Stage for Innovation and Culture

The convention opened with a vibrant celebration of Malaysian culture at the SPICE Arena, featuring music, dance, and the appearance of ‘Wira’ and ‘Manja’, the Malayan sun bear mascots for the upcoming Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign. This fusion of global business and local tradition set the stage for an event focused on empowerment and connection.

Driving Entrepreneurship with Cutting-Edge Products

V-Malaysia 2025 served as the launchpad for QNET’s latest innovations designed to enhance personal wellness and lifestyle. Key launches included:

• Harmoniq-Snooze: An adhesive bio-signaling patch designed to promote deeper, restorative sleep.
• Qwik-Vibe: A clean, fast-acting oral strip for instant energy and mental focus.
• The Bernhard H. Mayer PTLuxe & Insignia Collections: New lines of platinum jewellery symbolizing resilience and style.

“For 27 years, QNET has been about empowering individuals to take control of their health and financial future,” said Trevor Kuna, Chief Marketing Officer at QNET. “V-Malaysia is the physical embodiment of our mission—a place where innovation meets culture, inspiring our entrepreneurs from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia to achieve more.”

Inspiring a Global Audience with a Story of Resilience

A defining moment of the convention was the keynote address by Sparsh Shah, a global youth icon, motivational speaker, and recording artist.

Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease), Sparsh has overcome profound physical challenges to become a beacon of resilience and determination.

He captivated the audience of thousands by sharing his life’s journey, weaving his powerful narrative with his original music. His message urged every participant to recognize their own unique potential and to harness an unstoppable mindset in the pursuit of their ambitions.

“Having Sparsh Shah share his incredible story was a deeply moving experience for our global community,” said Trevor Kuna, Chief Marketing Officer at QNET. “He embodies the very essence of RYTHM, rising above circumstances to inspire others. His presence reminded us all that entrepreneurship is not just about business success, but about the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle.”

A Legacy of Empowerment and Economic Partnership

Beyond the celebration, QNET used the occasion to announce its next major regional convention: V-Africa 2026, scheduled for the first quarter of 2026 in Ghana.

This strategic move signals QNET’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and contributing to economic development in key growth markets.

“Our conventions are more than just meetings; they are economic partnerships with host nations,” Kuna added. “The success of V-Malaysia demonstrates how business tourism creates a positive ripple effect. We are thrilled to build on this legacy and bring the same energy and opportunity to Ghana with V-Africa 2026, further solidifying our commitment to empowering entrepreneurs across the African continent.”

V-Malaysia is rooted in QNET’s mission of RYTHM – Raise Yourself To Help Mankind, serving as a global platform for entrepreneurship, personal growth, and community.

For five transformative days, from June 21 to 25, the city of Penang played host to QNET’s flagship convention, welcoming delegates from over 30 countries, including hundreds of hopeful entrepreneurs from Nigeria, each drawn by a shared belief in innovation, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation.

A Global Family, Rooted in Purpose

For more than a decade, QNET has made Penang its home for this annual convergence of minds. But V-Malaysia is more than a tradition — it’s a lifeline.

Here, global strategies are unveiled, bold ideas are nurtured, and aspiring business leaders discover they’re part of something much bigger than themselves.

Among the crowd were first-timers from Abuja, veterans from Lagos, and rising stars from Port Harcourt. They had come not just to listen, but to learn, connect, and return to their communities with fresh tools, clearer vision, and renewed purpose.

“For QNET, Penang is not just a venue; it’s a home for inspiration and transformation,” said Trevor Kuna, chief marketing officer of QNET. “And for our community across Africa, especially Nigeria, V-Malaysia is a powerful catalyst — a place where dreams take shape and networks come alive.”

Building Bridges, Fueling Growth

This year’s convention marked a powerful collaboration between QNET, The V (V Global Management), and Malaysian institutions like Tourism Malaysia, MyCEB, and the Penang Convention & Exhibition Bureau (PCEB).

Their combined support helped bring together entrepreneurs from emerging and established markets, creating a truly borderless business experience.

For Nigeria, this matters. QNET has steadily built its name as a force in the direct selling and wellness space, empowering thousands of micro-entrepreneurs.

Through QNET’s model, ordinary individuals across Nigerian cities are building extraordinary legacies — and events like V-Malaysia provide the spark to fuel that momentum.

Innovation Meets Wellness

This year, the spotlight also shone on new wellness innovations designed to enhance everyday life. Attendees got a first look at:

• Harmoniq – a bio-signaling patch developed to boost energy and well-being
• QWIK – a fast-absorbing strip line for oral health and nutrition

These are more than just products; they represent a future of accessible wellness, set to launch in key African markets, including Nigeria, in the coming year.

Penang’s Role as a Global Stage

For the host city of Penang, the event also underscored its growing status as a business and tourism hub.

“Penang recorded an estimated RM1.29 billion in economic impact from business events in 2024 alone,” noted YB Wong Hon Wai, Penang’s State EXCO for Tourism and Creative Economy. “Events like V-Malaysia don’t just boost our economy—they connect us to the world.”

This global significance is backed by MyCEB’s strategic direction. In 2023, the agency facilitated 248 international business events, bringing in over 180,700 delegates and generating an economic impact of nearly RM2.8 billion.

What it Means for Nigeria

For every Nigerian distributor who returned home from Penang, V-Malaysia wasn’t just a trip. It was a transformation. In hallways, breakout sessions, and product showcases, they found practical insights, visionary leadership, and a vibrant community that believes in rising together.

At the core of it all was RYTHM – Raise Yourself To Help Mankind, QNET’s guiding philosophy. In every bead of sweat and spark of connection, it was clear: this wasn’t about products alone. It was about people. And Nigeria’s people — its entrepreneurs, dreamers, and doers — are ready.

As the curtain falls on V-Malaysia 2025, the ripple effect begins. From Penang’s grand halls to the streets of Lagos, Ibadan, Kaduna, and beyond — the next chapter of growth is already being written.

This partnership marked a significant milestone in May 2018 when City welcomed QNET as the first sleeve partner in the Women’s Super League.

Throughout the next phase of this partnership QNET will continue to provide City-led football clinics to communities around the world, as well as engaging with consumers and distributors through this relationship with City.

In a message to the leaders of QNET and the 8,000 VCON participants from over 30 countries, Ferran Soriano, the chief executive officer of Manchester City FC, said they are pleased to achieve great milestones that would not have been possible without the support and the commitment of everybody at QNET, “and every single one of you. I do remember back in 2014 when I met the leadership of QNET for the first time, and we discussed our plans, our ambitions, and we promised a lot.

“We promised that Manchester City would be a great football team, and that they would play beautiful football. Now, 10 years since then, we hold 28 trophies. I have to be honest and say that when we promised we were going to do well, we didn’t think we were going to win 28 trophies.

“We’re excited now we’re starting a new season, and guess what? We want to win again, and if we do, it would be another record. Maybe we can win the fifth Premier League in a row. Obviously, something that hasn’t happened before. I can promise that we will fight for all the trophies like you fight for all your objectives. Manchester City and QNET have the incredible power to engage people from every country, create a sense of community and empower individuals and teams to achieve their aspirations”.

He promised Manchester City’s support to the QNET brand to achieve even more successes in the coming years.

Trevor Kuna, the CEO of QNET said that the partnership with Manchester City has made positive impacts on the business.

QNET’s grass-roots business model enables ordinary people from all walks of life to start their own business with minimal overhead.

With hard work and dedication, QNET distributors, known as Independent Representatives (IRs) have the opportunity to become economically self-sufficient, raising the standard of life for their families and communities.

QNET is driven by two important philosophies: ​RYTHM (Raise Yourself to Help Mankind) and InService.

Meanwhile, the highlight of the QNET and Manchester City celebration was the presentation of a 10-year partnership anniversary plaque by John Kirton, senior partnership marketing manager, Manchester City Football Club to the QNET team.
