Large-scale events in Singapore, from MICE conferences at Marina Bay Sands to outdoor activations, live or die on manpower execution. Use this checklist to stay ahead of common bottlenecks.
Six weeks before
Lock headcount by zone: registration, ushering, brand activation, backstage, and VIP handling. Share floor plans, run-of-show, and uniform requirements with your agency. Confirm MOM-compliant rest break schedules for shifts exceeding six hours.
One week before
Conduct a unified briefing, ideally on-site, covering wayfinding, emergency exits, VIP protocols, and comms channels. Issue lanyards, radios, or WhatsApp groups. Confirm backup headcount of 10–15% for no-shows.
Show day
Deploy a supervisor per zone with direct line to your event producer. Brief staff on staggered meal breaks before doors open. Debrief within 48 hours to capture learnings for your next event.
