our exemplary players who have demonstrated their innovation, creativity and excellent service standards to deliver world-class business
events. This year, we’ve introduced a bonus point system that rewards industry players who have undertaken green and CSR initiatives.

Singapore's appeal as a business events destination. The focus on Singapore’s dynamic MICE industry will
hopefully attract more newcomers, both individuals and companies, to join this exciting industry,”
