Constellar

Our Constellar-Worldex Exhibitions (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. team organised the second edition of Food2China Expo last week. The largest comprehensive B2B food trade event in South China, it brought together over 40 countries and regions, 2,000 exhibitors and brands, and showcased more than 100,000 food products across 60,000 square metres. Comprising the Guangzhou International Food and Ingredients Exhibition (GlFlF), Wine to China Expo and Guangzhou (Jiangnan) International Fruit and Vegetable Exhibition, this year's edition was also co-located with the 10th Guangzhou International Fisheries & Seafood Expo for the first time, solidifying its position as one of Southern China’s largest food trade exhibitions offering unparalleled business opportunities. Over three days, the Expo was a vibrant marketplace with a variety of sectors including Agrifoods, Dairy, Seafood, Drinks & Beverages, Fine Foods, Food Service, and Sweets & Snacks. International pavilions from countries like Italy, Chile, Australia, Northern Ireland, Argentina, and many others also showcased their premium locally-produced food products, highlighting an increased interest in, and appeal of, imported food to Chinese consumers in Southern China. With over 50,000 trade buyers, industry experts, and entrepreneurs, the Expo continues to be a key platform contributing to the growth of the imported food industry and a boost to F&B consumption in Southern China. We are deeply grateful for the support of our partners in organising this show - China Commerce Development Center, Guangzhou CCPIT, Guangzhou Jiangnan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., and China Food Safety News. We look forward to building on this platform empowering businesses with more expansion and growth opportunities at the next Food2China Expo in September 2025.

Thank you TTG Asia for recognising Singapore EXPO as the ‘Best Convention & Exhibition Centre – Singapore’ at the 33rd TTG Travel Awards 2024. The awards were a result of votes from TTG's readers, and we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, suppliers and fellow industry counterparts for their recognition, trust and support. As Singapore’s largest purpose-built MICE venue, Singapore EXPO is committed to empowering our event organisers to organise sustainable events and create unique experiences that have a meaningful impact. We are excited to continuing supporting Singapore’s vision in becoming the World’s Best MICE City and a trusted global-Asia node for knowledge exchange, networking and doing business.

We’re delighted to share that Constellar is now a participant of the LowCarbonSG programme. A national initiative helmed by Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC) Singapore, the decarbonisation arm of UN Global Compact Network Singapore (GCNS), and supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG), LowCarbonSG strives to guide and encourage local businesses in Singapore to monitor and reduce their carbon emissions. Our participation in the LowCarbonSG programme, through Singapore EXPO, is the latest milestone in our journey to reduce our carbon footprint, instil sustainable event practices at the venue, and empower our event organisers to organise sustainable and impactful events. We’re excited to continue taking positive strides towards achieving Singapore’s vision of becoming APAC’s leading sustainable MICE destination by 2030. #LowCarbonSG #Sustainability

It was a bustling weekend at COMEX 2024 as crowds came through to discover, test-drive and hunt for the latest technology, best deals and exclusive bargains with their family and friends. While online shopping is always available and accessible, there’s truly something special about physical events such as COMEX that online shopping cannot replicate: Having the industry’s best and leading players in consumer technology, retailers and telcos to provide consumers a one-stop experiential marketplace experience premised on innovation and unbeatable deals. A huge Thank You to Challenger Technologies Limited, BEST Denki Singapore Pte Ltd, Singtel, StarHub and all our exhibitors for sharing our vision and in joining us on this quarterly pop-up consumer IT festival with generous offers and discounts. Making the festival experience a seamless one this year were our cashless payment providers – Grab, NETS, ShopBack and TikTok – who offered exclusive privileges and giveaways, as well as our tech partner Searix, who transformed our popular Instant Lucky Dip experience into an interactive screen game that was fun for everyone. We look forward to welcoming everyone to The Tech Show - our next quarterly consumer tech show - from 14 to 17 November 2024. #ConstellarEvents #MICE #ConsumerEvents

It's been a privilege to manage Singapore's largest purpose-built MICE venue, Singapore EXPO, for 25 years. The space has been a unique canvas that enables versatile, transformative and captivating experiences, and is a testament to the venue’s flexibility and scalability that have attracted some of the world’s most influential events to Singapore. As we celebrated its 25th anniversary yesterday night, amongst the people and partners we've had the privilege of working alongside in our journey, it was also a celebration of innovation and experiential excellence that the Singapore MICE industry continues to raise the bar for. Events of the future demand imagination, sustainable practices and scale to build meaningful impact. In the next stage of growth for Singapore tourism and #MICE, we're excited for #SingaporeEXPO to support Singapore’s ambition to be the World’s Best MICE destination with its refreshed canvas or #PlaygroundofPossibilities. The power of events to convene people, ideas and resources across sectors and domains means that we can multiply the economic impact of these platforms to spark innovation, foster collaboration and in the long-term drive meaningful and sustainable business growth. Congratulations, Singapore EXPO: Here's to another 25 years of innovation and excellence. #BusinessEvents #MICEVenues

Singapore EXPO has been as essential part of the Singapore exhibitions industry journey in the last 25 years. As Singapore’s largest purpose-built MICE venue, its versatility, scalability and customisability of space and offerings has been key to attracting international events such as Food & Hotel Asia to be anchored in Singapore. As we celebrate Singapore EXPO's 25th Anniversary this year, our commitment to our customers remains: Empowering them to host impactful, engaging and innovative events that drive positive impact. This means having the imagination to expand the scope of what is possible, to cater to various event formats, sizes and audiences from around the world. As Asia’s most sustainable MICE venue powered by onsite renewable energy, it not only empowers organisers to hold sustainable events, but also plays a significant role towards Singapore’s vision of becoming APAC’s leading sustainable MICE destination by 2030, as well as Singapore achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
