Venue and Travel Introduction

The AVEVA World Summit - Asia Pacific takes place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore from 8-10 November 2011.

The English name of Singapore is derived from its Malay name, Singapura or 'Lion City', hence the customary reference to the nation as the Lion City.

One of Singapore's largest shopping malls, Suntec City, is home to the Fountain of Wealth, the largest fountain in the world. During certain periods of the day, visitors are invited to walk around the centre of the fountain's base for good luck. At night, the fountain is the setting for live music and laser performances.

Like the region itself, contemporary art from Singapore and Southeast Asia is diverse, dynamic and multifaceted, possessing its own distinctive aesthetics and artistic traditions shaped by different approaches to the creation and practice of the Arts. The Singapore Art Museum includes iconic works of art in its collection, encourages artists to create important new works through artist commissions, and showcases the best in contemporary art from the region.
