Singapore Tourism Board: Business events, including conferences, to resume gradually | Malay Mail

Wednesday, 22 Jul 2020 04:25 PM MYTSINGAPORE, July 22 — The Singapore Tourism Board will gradually resume business-to-business events such as conferences and trade shows for the first time in about five months, with a new risk-management framework that will be tested at two events in August and September.

STB said that hybrid formats, with a mix of face-to-face and virtual interactions, are likely to be the norm for business events in the near future. “If these two events proceed smoothly, STB may allow other similar business-to-business events that can implement the requisite safe management measures to resume gradually,” it said.

STB said that its risk-management framework is aligned with international best practices, along with reflections and lessons learnt in the past few months. In addition, organisers must ensure participants are at least 1m apart at all times and that there is only one attendee occupying every 10 sqm in event spaces larger than 930 sqm.

This roadmap will establish best-in-class standards for new safety measures at events, create agile business models with a focus on digital capabilities, and devise pathways for professional development in the post-Covid-19 world.
