Sibos 2015 Singapore takes place as the city-state marks its 50th Birthday – 50 years of innovation and success!</p> In recognition of this important milestone, we have worked closely with the Singaporean population to implement some exciting initiatives for what will be the largest Sibos in the Asia Pacific region to date.</p> Firstly, we are bringing the SG50 celebrations on to the Sibos exhibition floor.</p> The Singapore Crossroads house the local institutions that are exhibiting, who have come together to allow us to create a dynamic feature out of their presence.</p> Visit the crossroads on Level B2, near Innotribe and the SWIFT stand.</p> Encouraging talent</h3> For the 2015 Art at Sibos project, the Art Walk, we have partnered with the Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF) to help local young artists showcase their talent.</p> Look out for the 20 specially-commissioned pieces across the convention centre. The artworks, which include paintings and sculptures, are based on the key issues impacting today’s financial services landscape.</p> Upon arrival, you will receive a catalogue containing information about the pieces, and the artists themselves. More details can also be found through the Sibos App.</p> We have compiled a collection of sketches and pictures</a> that illustrate the creative process behind the Art Walk.</p> All of these original artworks will be available to purchase, with the funds supporting BT BAF and partner-beneficiaries. Details of the auction can be found in the catalogue and on Sibos.com</p> Test out your skills…</h3> ..Whilst helping us to support the local community!</p> In the Singapore kampongs (‘villages’ in Malay), people play a popular game called Gasing, which involves spinning tops in a short match of skill - and luck.</p> Each season after the rice harvest, several villages come together to challenge each other.</p> We have created a digital version of the game at the SWIFT stand in honour of this tradition. We invite you to take on your fellow delegates, with SWIFT donating 15 EUR per game to Beyond Social Services – the official Sibos 2015 charity.</p> We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow.</p> </p> </p>
