  • (1888PressRelease) October 25, 2011 - Singapore - The organisers of International Furniture Fair Singapore 2012/29th ASEAN Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS 2012), Deco Asia 2012 and Hospitality Asia 2012, together with The Pinnacle Group International (TPGI Pte Ltd), Singapore's leading conference organiser, will take the trilogy of furniture trade events to greater heights next year by premiering a conference segment in response to industry demand for a knowledge-based platform at the annual exhibition.

    Titled Hospitality.Design.Furniture CONVERGE Asia 2012, the conference is expected to attract more than 200 professionals from 9 - 10 March 2012, including developers, architects, designers, purchasers, retailers, manufacturers and hoteliers from the relevant sectors.

    Mr Clement Ng, Business Development Director of IFFS Pte Ltd said, "The hospitality and design industry is going through unprecedented change, and we are very positive that this new conference will help to explore untapped opportunities in the convergence of the three distinct yet related businesses of hospitality, design, and furniture. Within these industries, we've witnessed significant cross application of ideas throughout the years, so we're looking forward to bringing the complementary sectors together in a single pivotal location within a professional conference programme."

    Reflecting the emerging trend of industry convergence, the new IFFS conference will enable participants to discover new ideas and markets where partnerships can be forged and profitability achieved. An international panel of experts and industry leaders will share their insights on future trends and innovations during the 2-day programme. With the conference, IFFS' enviable reputation as Asia's one-stop furniture and furnishings sourcing platform will be reinforced, in addition to its strong position as a "must-visit" event for international buyers and industry players on the calendar.

    Mr Melvin Chan, Senior Director for TPGI added, "It is a new partnership for us to work together with IFFS. We want to seize the opportunity to capitalise on the market to discuss hidden trends and explore new agendas which are at the forefront of the industry. The addition of this conference allows international delegates to network with key decision makers across various industries in a conducive environment. Hospitality.Design.Furniture CONVERGE Asia 2012 is the first of its kind in the world where speakers will share their views on how the three industries can work effectively together for future growth. Together with IFFS, we are confident that this inaugural conference will debut in a successful way."
