03 Aug 2013  2036 | World Travel News

SINGAPORE'S events sector will get a boost in standards in the near future, as the International Special Events Society (ISES) gets ready to unveil a Singapore chapter within the next few months.
Benjamin Fox, general manager at Turning Point Solutions and president of the ISES Singapore Chapter, said: “It is a very exciting time for the local events sector because everyone is looking at raising the industry standards today, so this is an appropriate time for us to come in.”
ISES, which aims to “deliver creative excellence and professionalism in special events”, currently comprises more than 7,000 professionals across 36 countries. Hong Kong is the only country in Asia with an ISES chapter so far.
Fox said: “This will be an internationally-recognised platform that brings all the people in the events industry together, to network, advance their businesses and improve their quality. Members of this Singapore chapter will be able to participate in educational seminars and networking events.”
He added that ISES’ monthly seminars would raise topics such as risk management and how to ensure safety during events.
With six other committee members, Fox said he was targeting roping in at least 40 members once the chapter was officially up and running.
Open to “good and reputable” event specialists from all industries, Fox said annual membership fees started at S$500 (US$393) and would vary according to company size.
