Planner Insights

**Best For:** - Large-scale conventions and international conferences (500-45,000 delegates) - Trade shows and exhibitions (up to 2,000 booths) - Major corporate galas and formal banquets (utilizing the 11,000-capacity ballroom) - Multi-day events requiring diverse breakout spaces across multiple levels **Estimated Budget Range:** Without published pricing, budget estimates are difficult to pin down. However, as a premium convention center within a luxury resort in Singapore's CBD, expect venue rental in the range of SGD $50,000–$300,000+ depending on space selection, duration, and season. Additional costs for catering, AV, and staffing will substantially increase total event budgets. Request itemized quotes early, as pricing structures for convention centers of this scale typically vary significantly by space configuration and timing. **What planners usually like:** - Massive flexibility with 120,000+ sqm across five levels—accommodates everything from intimate breakouts to record-breaking attendance figures - Integrated resort amenities (hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment) simplify logistics and enhance attendee experience without leaving the complex - Sustainability credentials (LEED Platinum, BCA Green Mark) appeal to organizations with corporate responsibility commitments - Prime CBD location reduces attendee travel time and offers strong visibility for major events **Things to clarify before booking:** - Get specific pricing tiers for different spaces, day rates vs. multi-day packages, and any seasonal surcharges - Confirm technical capabilities (internet bandwidth, AV infrastructure, simultaneous session support) for your event scale - Understand catering policies—whether in-house options are mandatory or if external vendors are permitted - Verify setup/breakdown timeframes and labor costs, especially for complex exhibitions or multi-level events
