Singapore. The Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre, together with its convention wing, MAX Atria, are set to host some of the largest international events to be held in Singapore this year, which are expected to attract over 50,000 foreign visitors and will bring positive impact to Singapore’s economy.

Singapore EXPO will play host to the highly anticipated 28th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in June, featuring sporting events such as boxing, wushu, sepak takraw, judo, taekwondo and pencak silat. US-based Jeunesse, a direct selling company that specialises in skincare products, will hold its annual incentive conference, the Jeunesse Global Expo Unite Annual World Conference at Singapore EXPO in September. The conference is expected to attract over 10,000 international delegates and will contribute towards the local tourism industry.

One of the most prestigious events in the oil and gas industry calendar, GASTECH 2015 will take place in Singapore for the first time in October, and will be held in conjunction with the Singapore International Energy Week. Occupying 50,000sqm of gross exhibition space, the event will feature 10 country pavilions and over 400 exhibitors.

Singapore EXPO will also be hosting several new-to-market events in March, including the 1st International Brain Stimulation Conference 2015, which will bring together medical practitioners and experts specialised in this field, as well as Last Mile Fulfilment Asia 2015, a trade event for the logistics and fulfilment industries. Another inaugural event, Radiology Asia 2015, which comprises a scientific meeting alongside an exhibition featuring the latest innovation in medical imaging technology will be held in May. The World Rubber Week 2015, an event combining the World Rubber Summit, Rubber Exchange Forum and Tyrexpo Asia, and slated to attract over 6,000 global rubber industry players to Singapore, will also take place in March. In April, Metrology Asia 2015, which will be held alongside MTA 2015, will showcase the latest measuring and inspection applications to maximise productivity and accuracy.

Aloysius Arlando, Chief Executive Officer of SingEx Venues, the management company of Singapore EXPO and MAX Atria says, “We are honoured to host these key industry events, some of which are being held here for the very first time. The robust line up of business events represents our ability to reach into the key verticals that are aligned with Singapore’s vision of becoming a knowledge-based economy, while concurrently generating significant spin-offs for the tourism and MICE industries.”
