During the inaugural MICE Connect event in Singapore, the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) announced that it has renewed its agreement with the Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (SACEOS). Both the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and SACEOS are very supportive partners of IAEE, and they represent Singapore’s leading exhibition organizers as well as the suppliers of facilities and services.
IAEE president and CEO David DuBois participated in a panel discussion prior to the agreement signing to extend IAEE’s partnership with the intention of continued collaboration and information sharing on all products, services, meetings and events that are offered by SACEOS and IAEE.
“I am very proud that IAEE has extended its agreement with SACEOS,” said DuBois. “This collaboration underscores a key objective of IAEE’s strategic mission of continuing to engage international organizations and members to create paths for members to succeed on a global basis.”
As part of the agreement, IAEE recognizes SACEOS as a Certified in Exhibition Management (CEM) licensee to provide the certification to exhibition and event industry professionals in Singapore. Both organizations will share research, data and information as well as create jointly-sponsored activities and events to encourage interaction and participation between the leaders and members of each organization.
“We are excited to continue our positive relationship with IAEE and look forward to expanding our efforts as they are mutually beneficial,” said Edward Liu, immediate past president, SACEOS. “Our collaboration will provide members of both organizations a multitude of opportunities to further enhance and develop their careers in the exhibitions and events industry for their long-term success.”
