Singex’s new convention wing to open in 2012

News this week: Singapore Expo (Singex) has provided details on the announced expansion plan of its facilities. Named MAX Atria, the new convention wing will feature 23 meeting rooms and pre-function areas, providing an additional 8,000 m2 to Singex.

Construction of MAX Atria is expected to be completed by early 2012 with costs estimated between US$43 and US$47 million – that figure is inclusive of upgrades to other parts of the venue initiated last year.

Chairman of Singex, Bob Tan was quoted in an article, “More concurrent activities are now held alongside the main convention or exhibition, and this has spurred demand for more flexible and focused venue settings that make meetings and events meaningful. Max Atria will be well-suited to host not just conferences, corporate meetings and their companion break-out sessions, but also a multitude of events, such as plenary sessions, product launches, award ceremonies as well as banquets and receptions.”
