Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, Convention center in Marina Centre, Singapore
Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, also known as Suntec Singapore, is a convention center in the Marina Centre area of Singapore. It forms part of the larger Suntec City complex and offers multiple levels of exhibition halls, meeting rooms, and a large auditorium.
The convention center opened in August 1995 as the Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. It was renamed Suntec Singapore in 2004 and later renovated between 2012 and 2013.
The name Suntec comes from the Chinese phrase xin da, meaning new achievement, a detail that reflects the ambitions behind the development. Inside, the scale of the halls and the constant flow of conferences and trade shows give the place a busy, businesslike feel.
The center sits within Suntec City, so follow signs from the mall to reach the main entrances. When attending an event, allow extra time to navigate the different levels and check which hall your event uses.
The center is part of Suntec City, whose five towers and convention building are arranged to look like a left hand from above, with the Fountain of Wealth as the palm. This design follows feng shui principles, and the bronze fountain is said to symbolize prosperity.
