In line with the calibrated resumption of economic activities as part of the Covid-19 recovery process, Singapore rolls out a roadmap for the MICE & Events industry - Event Industry Resilience Roadmap - that includes best practice guidelines for conferences and exhibitions, tips for hybrid events, and long-term plans to bolster capabilities development in the MICE workforce and enterprises. The Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (SACEOS), together with Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG), has launched the world’s first roadmap for the MICE & Events industry, the Event Industry Resilience Roadmap (IRR) which provides guidance on safety measures and best practices in line with the gradual resumption of business events. The Event Industry Resilience Roadmap presents three strategic objectives: Helping the industry to implement best-in-class standards under STB’s Safe Business Events Framework; creating agile business models with a focus on hybridisation; and developing pathways for professional development in the new way forward. Apart from providing advice for event organisers, venues and suppliers on the safe management of events in Singapore, the Event Industry Resilience Roadmap also includes best-in-class practices, a long-term plan for business models to pivot into, innovative solutions for hybrid events and a capabilities development plan to support the enterprises and workforce to survive, thrive, and emerge stronger from the pandemic. This will be underpinned by SG SafeEvent Standard, an industry-led national accreditation programme, which will be launched later this year. Similar to initiatives such as SG Clean, the SG SafeEvent Standard certification will be awarded as a mark of assurance that Singapore is a world-leading destination for safe, trusted and innovative business events. The “living” IRR document will continuously be updated to stay current with the evolving situation and prevailing safety, health standards. The Event Industry Resilience Roadmap’s first release (IRR 1.0) will focus on SG SafeEvent Standard and hybridisation. IRR 2.0 is in development and will expand on the business models innovation and the core capabilities that are necessary for event enterprises and professionals to pivot successfully. “The development of the Event Industry Resilience Roadmap is a significant step as Singapore resumes MICE events. Enterprise Singapore would like to congratulate SACEOS on this milestone and thank the association for leading the industry in building resilience and new capabilities. Together with SACEOS, STB and industry partners, we look forward to strengthening our enterprises through innovation and capability development so as to emerge stronger from the pandemic.” Comments are closed.
