Tan also oversaw the repurposing of Singapore EXPO into a community care facility to support the national efforts on containing Covid-19, as well as the expansion of SingEx’s trade-events such as the Singapore Fintech Festival.

“While the pandemic upended the MICE industry, it has accelerated the digitalisation of the business and catalysed hybrid platforms for continued customer engagement and serving customers’ business and networking needs. As SingEx adapts to the changing MICE landscape, we look forward to working closely with Robin to transform SingEx into an agile and resilient MICE player that drives innovative MICE events and experiences in a Covid-safe world,” says SingEx CEO Aloysius Arlando.
