The moderate growth in the inbound tourism sector in 2017 has given the economy some stronger momentum, while the tight labour market conditions have given a push to domestic consumption. However, with lingering uncertainties \u2013 such as the U.S. interest rate hike cycle and other geopolitical events \u2013 the economic outlook for 2018 remains murky at best.<\/p>\n In view of these economic trends at home and abroad, what should we expect for 2018?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n5:00pm<\/strong><\/td>\n| \n Event Technology Trends in 2018<\/strong><\/p>\nMr. Sankar S.\u00a0Villupuram, Head of Business Development & IoT, JOS<\/i><\/em>
