SINGAPORE, May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Yes, Aquarama and Pet Asia are returning to Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, its home for several editions prior to 2013.
At the time of the 2013 event, Suntec was undergoing major refurbishment and was, consequently, not available. However, we are happy to announce that the S$180-million modernisation programme has now been completed, opening the way for the return of Aquarama and Pet Asia to a venue that is highly popular with both trade and public visitors.
Aquarama 2015 is scheduled to be held from 28th to 31st May 2015, in Halls 401-403 on Level 4. Pet Asia 2015 will follow suit, re-enforcing its close association with Aquarama, at the same time, emphasising its own identity by being housed on Level 3 Concourse.
In the words of Jennifer Lee, project manager for both events, "There are many reasons why we are delighted to be returning to Suntec. For a start, it's a venue where we have enjoyed great success, despite the challenging economic climate we've had to face in recent years. It's also a world-class venue located at the heart of Asia's most integrated meetings, conventions and exhibitions hub."
Conveniently located in the Central Business District, and minutes away from Singapore's entertainment and cultural attractions, Suntec's great accessibility offers direct access to 5,200 hotel rooms, 3,100 parking spaces (the largest parking facility in Singapore), 1,000 retail outlets, 300 restaurants and 6 museums. The venue is also only 20 minutes from Changi International Airport.
As part of its ongoing initiative to use technology to change the way people look at the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences/Conventions, Exhibitions/Events) business, the new-generation Suntec now offers high-quality WiFi connectivity to delegates, allowing free, high-speed WiFi that permits up to 6,000 devices to be connected simultaneously throughout the entire facility.
Thus, Suntec is a world-renowned venue of technological excellence for events such as Aquarama and Pet Asia -- a perfect location, all in the heart of thriving, exciting Singapore.
