UBM Live has decided to switch the venue for its upcoming Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific 2012 conference and tradeshow to the brand new Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS).
Originally scheduled to take place at the Sands Expo and Convention Center (TTG Asia e-Daily, December 12, 2011), the event will now be held from September 17-18 at the 28,000m2 MBCCS, which is operated by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services and offers approximately 11,500m2 of event space on non-cruise days.
“The opportunity to have Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific in one of the world’s newest and largest terminals is thrilling,” said Daniel Read, portfolio director of Cruise Shipping, UBM Live.
“The cruise market is dynamic and agile, and we know that our audience is constantly evolving and developing their offerings. Having a unique perspective of one of Asia’s largest cruise terminals while discussing key pressure points and opportunities for the industry is certainly going to produce a groundbreaking event,” he added.
Melvin Vu, CEO of SATS-Creuers Cruise Services, said: “We are very pleased to have Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific 2012 at our terminal this year. I am sure that delegates, exhibitors and visitors will find our venue conducive for networking and sharing knowledge and information.”
“The collaboration between UBM and MBCCS demonstrates how stakeholders can find synergies and work together to grow Asia’s cruise industry, while positioning Singapore as the region’s leading cruise destination,” he added.
