The chief executive officer of SingEx, the management company of Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre, Aloysius Arlando, says that the International Association of Congress Centres (AIPC) is a “choice platform” for Asia centres as the continent rises in prominence within the global meetings industry.
