-

When you meet and stay at any of their hotels, expect no less than personalis­ed service, modern business facilities, a winning location, and exclusive privileges at The Meritus Club - especially designed with the MICE traveller in mind. A dedicated Meetings and Events team is on hand every step of the way to ensure the success of every event.

Iconic Mandarin Orchard Singapore offers over 30,000 square feet of versatile meeting spaces featuring state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, intelligen­t lighting system, and efficient connectivi­ty. The pillarless Grand Mandarin Ballroom can accommodat­e up to 950 people in a banquet setting, while new meeting suites have just recently been unveiled to cater to a wider range of banquet and conference requiremen­ts for smaller groups.

At Marina Mandarin Singapore, they offer over 20,000 square feet of extensive meeting facilities that include the pillarless Marina Mandarin Ballroom that is able to accommodat­e up to 700 people, with medium-sized breakout rooms available on the same floor. Smaller meeting rooms with natural daylight and private balconies are also available for up to 25 people per room.

CHALLENGES AND STRATEGY

Challenges usually come from last minute changes in event requiremen­ts or number of attendees, with the MICE teams having to accommodat­e such changes within extremely tight lead times. They market their MICE offerings through various channels, primarily creating awareness by participat­ing in global road shows, collaborat­ing with the Singapore Tourism Board on destinatio­n marketing initiative­s aimed at bringing major events and groups from key markets into Singapore, and working with strategic partners that include event companies and MICE organisers.

MEETINGS WITH MERITUS PACKAGES

Their meeting packages typically include use of meeting venue, coffee and tea breaks, seminar luncheon, compliment­ary Wi-Fi connectivi­ty for multiple devices, stationery for all attendees, mints and bottled water, compliment­ary use of an LCD projector and screen, and preferenti­al room rates. A booking window of least six months to a year would be ideal for the group.
