The growing variety of onsite lifestyle events and leisure experiences aligns with Singapore EXPO’s refreshed brand identity – ‘Playground of Possibilities”, Constellar said in a statement, describing it as a “commitment to innovation and creating dynamic experiences that stay ahead of the changing MICE and tourism landscape”.
“While continuing to host world-class MICE events, the venue is also investing in cutting-edge solutions across its facilities and implementing a holistic approach to sustainability by integrating green initiatives throughout its venue-wide operations and offerings.”
