The Changi International Exhibition and Convention Centre (CIECC), formerly also commonly referred to simply as the Changi Exhibition Centre, is a convention center in Singapore located just beyond the northern edge perimeter fencing of Singapore Changi Airport, and had served as the venue for the Asian Aerospace since its completion in 1988 until 2006 when it was managed by Reed Exhibitions. It currently offers over 23,000 square metres of space, as well as 14,000 square metres of outdoor space for exhibitions and functions.
The Singapore Airshow is now held at a new purpose-built centre, the Changi Exhibition Centre. The status of the current facility is still pending as there are considerations for Singapore Changi Airport to expand and subsume the site into a new facility or other purposes related to it.
Famous quotes containing the words exhibition, convention and/or centre:
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“Belief and love,—a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
