Singapore – The new Marina Bay Sands resort has signed more than 30 deals for its new Expo and Convention Centre, including the Industrial Fabrics Association International Expo Asia 2011 trade show.
The development of the new site has resulted in events such as the Inter-Pacific Bar Association 2010 Conference, held in May, which will be the first time lawyers from the region have gathered for the event since 1994. The event will have a climate change theme, and counts former US vice president and environment champion Al Gore as its keynote speaker.
Other events to return include the 2010 UFI Congress, which comes back to Singapore after a 15-year absence.
A spokesman for Marina Bay Sands said it has sealed further events from industries including the engineering and legal sectors, life sciences and renewable energy.
