Singapore will host Asia`s largest leisure industry event at Suntec from 17 – 19 July 2002. Over 3,500 renowned speakers, delegates and visitors from more than 35 countries will converge for 3 intense days of exhibits and industry networking opportunities.
Developed over 11 years, the Leisure and Entertainment Asia Conference is the region`s established senior management forum for key industry decision-makers and practitioners. Be it attractions or retail, facilities or entertainment destinations, the conference provides insight into current and future leisure developments, changing attitudes and expectations of customers. It also presents a unique look at the practical and profitable strategies offered by renowned operators of amusement & leisure facilities. The two-day forum, which runs from the 17-18 July 2002, will feature 25 speakers from 23 different organisations, 12 case studies and three panel discussions.
With the leisure sector perturbed by issues of security and survival, Leisure and Entertainment Asia addresses the key concerns of creating memorable customer experiences, generating demand and reaping profits in these difficult times. From venue management to the role of festivals and major events in generating traffic, entertainment organisations will take the stand and explore the key elements of creating a total venue and truly lifestyle experience. Attraction operators will further discuss promotion of regional leisure as well as the considerations that make or break a leisure business. Finally, there will also be presentations on how to create unique and branded experiences to add value to an entity.
