Tuesday, October 18th, 2022 - Singapore: planitswiss Asia is pleased to announce its 10th year Anniversary operating in Singapore as an event production and innovative digital events solution provider on this October 18th, 2022.

planitswiss began its international expansion in 2012 with Singapore as the first international office for planitswiss global operations since its inception in 2006 in Switzerland. It now has offices in Rwanda, France, and Switzerland; all of which strive to expand the company motto of “You host, we care.

The decision was based on the business-friendly environment, good economic structures, and strong relationships we held in Singapore and Asia as a whole” said Michel Huguenin, planitswiss Global CEO. “We were stimulated by the feedbacks we received from our partners in the market on the need for our expertise along with the brand we had built of championing the Swiss quality in the creativity and coordination of events we held.

At the time, the Asia market was growing at a rapid pace with the institutions eager to receive newcomers, take risks and keen to innovate.

planitswiss Asia office started with humble beginnings. We were coordinating small to medium events, but quickly grew thanks to the ecosystem. A few years later, we could tap into big conferences and rapidly the Asian events became our biggest events in planitswiss group.” notes Arthur Bontemps, 2012 Singapore Country Director.

planitswiss Asia acknowledge and thanks the clients who entrusted us with the events in Asia as we decided to embark on the journey. The strength of the long-standing relations we had with our clients such as Nespresso, Eurocham and PARIMA became the foundation of our presence in Singapore.

It is a proud achievement for us to have maintained these relations to a point of us hosting 6 or 7 editions of their events in various regions over.

planitswiss Asia created a virtual registration platform and online event tool inspired by the technological, and innovative ecosystem of Singapore. We pioneered by developing AIO event solution which enabled us to deploy virtual events, and hybrid events globally from our various offices.

The last 2 years have been extremely challenging for the industry. We had to adapt and provide support to our clients amid a global pandemic. Our digital solution of AIOEvents, which was developed 6 years back now– All In One platform played a crucial role alongside a solid experienced team. It made us stronger and impacted our growth as we continue serving our customers in the region.” Said Michel Huguenin, planitswiss Global CEO

We could not have accomplished such a triumph without our super-star, ingenious team, and their motivation to the success of the Singapore office led by Samantha Soo as our Country Director for Singapore.
