SINGAPORE: It was slightly more than a month ago when authorities announced that capacity limits at large-scale business events here will be raised to 750 people.
This kicked in from Apr 24 and was cheered by some in the pandemic-battered meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry as a move that brought “renewed optimism”.

Singapore has launched a new certification programme for the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (Mice) sector for large-scale events to be conducted in a safe manner.
Event organisers, venue owners and suppliers who uphold the best practices in areas such as hygiene and sanitisation, safe distancing and emergency management will be able to display a mark of assurance that they meet Singapore government standards, which can serve to assure conference attendees.
The SG SafeEvents Certification, billed as a first-of-its-kind programme, was launched yesterday by the Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (Saceos).
The certification is aimed at giving Mice players here a competitive edge in a Covid-19-safe marketplace, said Saceos president Aloysius Arlando.
