DESTINATION: SINGAPORE
Business events have become an integral part of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay attraction. Created following an international
master plan design competition that drew more than 70 entries from more than 24 countries, the attraction has opened in sections over the past two years. As well as public events, Gardens by
the Bay hosts incentive dinners, product launches and themed corporate events. It has Singapore’s largest outdoor garden event space, The Meadow, which has a standing capacity of 30,000 people and offers a panaromic view of the park’s conservatories and supertrees as well as downtown Singapore. Inside the Flower Dome, Flower Field
Hall offers event guests with a sensory experience. It overlooks the ever- changing Flower Field display on one side and the Marina Bay skyline on the other. Programmed LED lights cycle through a rainbow of colours. Under the canopy of the silver-hued
supertrees and overlooking Dragonfly Lake, Silver Leaf offers an intimate setting for exclusive events. In the background are the Flower Dome and Marina Bay skyline. With views of theMarina Bay waterfront
and Bay East Garden, the Waterview Room can be used as a standalone venue or supplement events in the adjoining Flower Field Hall. INFO
