Challenge: To better understand and develop a comprehensive execution plan to ensure a successful event. The planning began in 2013 when the Marina Bay Sands team visited Sibos Dubai and later Sibos Boston in 2014.
Solution: A dedicated group of Marina Bay Sands managers was assigned to work closely with the organiser, exhibitors and partners to meet their expectations by:
• Assigning a floor manager to handle on-site requirements such as conference setups and turnovers, as well as F&B requests.
• Installing a record number of over 650 sets of hoists across 585 rigging points. 1GB switches were also employed to allow seamless multicasting during the event.
“If you look at Sibos, we really needed a venue that could deal with 8,000 delegates, 180 exhibitors, and 1,500 lunches a day. We’ve looked at venues in Singapore and the one which understood our requirements and actually delivered them was Marina Bay Sands. That’s the reason why we have chosen Marina Bay Sands for Sibos 2015.”
– Sven Bossu, Head of Sibos
