The Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre, together with its convention wing MAX Atria, won the Best International Venue award at the 10th Exhibition News (EN) Awards 2016 in London at the end of last month.
In the large scale category, for venues of size 10,000 sqm and more, Singapore EXPO with its 123,000 sqm of exhibition and convention space, beat stiff competition from four finalists, including the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, the Shanghai New International Expo Center and the RAI Amsterdam.
The centre will host the forthcoming Torque Expo Singapore in 2017.
The award winner was selected by a panel of judges from organiser, venue and supplier companies in the exhibition and events industries. Venues were judged on performance and versatility, commercial success in terms of financial growth, excellence in terms of steps taken to improve facilities and capabilities, initiatives to provide a better experience for organisers and exhibitors and organisers testimonials.
