London, United Kingdom - Northstar Travel
Group, the leading B-to-B information, events and marketing solutions company
in the travel industry, announces the launch of a major hosted buyer led tradeshow
for the Asia Pacific meetings industry.
The Meetings Show Asia Pacific (www.themeetingsshow-apac.com),
supported by Singapore Tourism Board, will take place from 17-18 April 2024 at Sands
Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, welcoming global
exhibitors and an audience of pre-qualified and hosted buyers.
Singapore is a Global-Asia node for MICE and
business. As a gateway to the fast-growing Asia Pacific region and home to a
vibrant business community, Singapore was chosen as the host destination for
the debut of The Meetings Show Asia Pacific, offering access to new
partnerships and business ideas.
Featuring Asian and international destinations,
venues, hotels and other key suppliers, the event will be supported by an
exclusive hosted buyer programme, bringing senior meetings, conventions, events
and incentives buyers to a bustling tradeshow floor. A unique prescheduled
meetings platform will provide an intimate platform to do business, as well as
a conference providing a thought-provoking education programme and a series of high-quality
networking events.
The Meetings Show Asia Pacific is an extension
of the long standing ‘The Meetings Show’ brand, which takes place annually in
London, and will further complement Northstar Meetings Group’s global portfolio
of media, events, information & marketing solutions.
Jason Young, CEO, Northstar
Travel Group, said: “With our continued commitment to greater serve the APAC
region, our depth of industry knowledge and the experienced meetings
professionals who work in our UK, Singapore and US offices, it became apparent
there was an opportunity to bring our world class experiences to the Asia
Pacific meetings market under the established and successful brand of The
Meetings Show.”
Commenting on the launch, Yap Chin Siang,
Deputy Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are pleased to
welcome the debut of The Meetings Show Asia Pacific in Singapore, an ideal
platform for global MICE businesses to network, forge new relations and grow
their businesses. The choice of Singapore as host affirms our position as the
preferred destination for MICE events here in the region. We look forward to
welcoming The Meetings Show Asia Pacific participants to Singapore in 2024.”
