10,186 participants from 62 countries attended Sea Asia 2009 conference and exhibition held at Suntec Singapore from 21-23 April.
342 exhibiting companies occupied over 5,533 sqm of net exhibition space, nearly doubling in size when compared to the inaugural event held in 2007
671 delegates attended 10 conference sessions held over 3 days, where 68 high-profile speakers comprising thought-leaders and subject matter experts debated on various issues ranging from finance to insurance and LNG shipping.
The 2nd Sea Asia conference and exhibition held 21-23 April 2009 exceeded all expectations, more than confirming the region’s appetite for a major pan-Asian maritime event held every two years in Singapore.
If Sea Asia 2007 had proved an impressive debut, Sea Asia 2009 was a resounding success, providing a unique and lively platform for the massive and expanding sector of Asian shipping.
Sea Asia will return to Singapore for the 3rd time from 12-14 April 2011 and will provide all the features that were so well received and even more:
- a conference programme that allows the Asian Voice and Perspectives to be projected,
- a sequence of lively, relevant and informative seminar sessions on diverse subjects,
- a bright and bustling exhibition floor containing some of the biggest brand names in the business
- a social programme that is both productive and enjoyable
Asia's remarkable forward progress in all aspects of maritime affairs, and the talented people who are driving it, needs a platform that reflects its status in the global industry; a platform which brings the international community to Asia to see for themselves.
The organisers of Sea Asia, Seatrade and the Singapore Maritime Foundation, are committed to providing such a pivotal event, which matches Asia's achievements and projects them outwards to the world.
