  • explore with the various types of events and their features, deliverables and contributions to the event industry (from a project and facilities management view point) in the context of today's world economy in general
  • study the events landscape in Singapore and competitive markets in the region and to discern potential issues of concern and identify opportunities for Singapore
  • Where applicable, to predict/make sense of the  new directions or trends that will shape the events space in the near and long term by applying the process of creating and designing events
