Did you know Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets? The main island has a total land area of 682 square km. However, its compact size belies its economic growth. In just 150 years, Singapore has grown into a thriving centre of commerce and industry. It is the busiest port in the world with over 600 shipping lines sending super tankers, container ships and passenger liners to share the busy waters with coastal fishing vessels and wooden lighters.

Singapore is also one of the world's major oil refining and distribution centers and has become one of the most important financial centers of Asia, with more than 130 banks. Singapore's strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for both business and pleasure.

We sincerely hope that you will plan to attend this fascinating conference and exhibition, as you will enjoy not only the educational program and networking opportunities, but also the history, culture, and much-admired surroundings of this captivating destination - Singapore.
