Attendance at<br />
Singapore’s<br />
OS+H Asia Jumps<br />
Singapore – Messe Dusseldorf Asia<br />
reported the largest crowd at the<br />
Occupational Safety & Health Exhibition<br />
for Asia (OS+H Asia) since the biennial<br />
show opened in Singapore in 1998.<br />
<strong>Trade</strong> visitors at the September 12-14<br />
show at Suntec totaled 5,918, a 15%<br />
increase over the 2010 event, and<br />
the exhibitor count grew to 163.<br />
“OS+H Asia is the only event of its<br />
kind in the region,” said Gernot Ringling,<br />
managing director of Messe Dusseldorf<br />
Asia. “We will continue to work with the<br />
industry to raise the bar for OS+H Asia<br />
and enhance its position as a mustattend<br />
event in Asia.”<br />
Ringling said post-show surveys<br />
revealed that four out of five exhibitors<br />
planned to return to the show in 2014.<br />
The show was also used as a launching<br />
pad for the co-located inaugural Medical<br />
Manufacturing Asia, which included 150<br />
exhibitors and 4,449 attendees. The<br />
two shows were held alongside the<br />
9th Medical Fair Asia.<br />
OS+H Asia reached out to a different<br />
audience demographic than the two<br />
medical device shows. Asia’s booming<br />
construction and manufacturing sectors<br />
have increased interest in work place<br />
safety and health. Messe Dusseldorf<br />
targeted buyers in heavy industries including<br />
petrochemicals and oil refining,<br />
shipbuilding and maritime, electronics<br />
and hospitality.<br />

Architects Converge<br />
on Landmark Marina<br />
Bay Sands<br />
Singapore – It’s hard to miss the Marina<br />
Bay Sands in Singapore, and its unique<br />
design was certainly appreciated by the<br />
more than 1,800 architects and designers<br />
who attended the October 3-5 World<br />
Architecture Festival (WAF) at the hotel.<br />
Marina Bay Sands<br />
The fifth edition of the WAF was highlighted<br />
by presentations by the world’s<br />
leading architects, including keynote<br />
speaker Moshe Safdie, who designed<br />
Marina Bay Sands.<br />
“There was a real sense of energy and<br />
activity here,” said WAF Director Paul<br />
Finch. “And with more architects, designers<br />
and press attending the festival than<br />
ever before, it was a very lively three days.”<br />
One of the highlights was the presentation<br />
of the WAF World Building of the<br />
Year. It didn’t go to Marina Bay Sands,<br />
but rather to its neighbor, the Cooled<br />
Conservatory at Singapore’s Gardens<br />
by the Bay.<br />
