Yes. The Business Events in Singapore (BEiS) scheme is administered by the Singapore Tourism Board through the Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau (SECB). It supports qualifying international business events, including association conventions, trade conferences, corporate meetings, and incentive travel, by providing financial assistance to organisers who bring substantive international delegate participation to Singapore.

Applications are evaluated on event content, the brand and profile of the conference, and the level of foreign visitor ship the event is expected to generate. We help clients structure their event narrative and delegate acquisition plan in ways that are aligned with SECB’s evaluation criteria.

As a professional conference organiser, Twist Media has substantial experience managing conferences that require elevated security and protocol management, including ministerial-level government events, multi-agency public sector conferences, and high-profile corporate summits.

We understand that high-security events often involve additional approvals, specific vendor clearances, or constraints on photography and public communications. We’ve navigated all of these before, and we flag potential friction points early rather than discovering them on the day.

We can support the administrative side of international delegate and speaker travel, including the preparation of formal invitation letters, visa support letters on event letterhead, and coordination of the documentation packages your overseas participants will typically need for their visa applications.

For conferences with a significant international attendance component, we also coordinate with the relevant Singapore government bodies where event-level facilitation is available.

Our approach covers the full cycle: developing the sponsorship prospectus, structuring tiered packages that reflect genuine value for sponsors, supporting your outreach and sales process, and then managing all fulfilment commitments on the ground.

On the prospectus side, we work with you to identify what you can credibly offer sponsors — brand visibility, delegate data access, speaking slots, exhibition space, branded activations, hosted dinners — and build packages around those assets honestly. An over-promised sponsorship that under-delivers will damage your next edition more than a smaller sponsorship pool this year.

Once sponsors are confirmed, we build their entitlements into the master production plan and assign a dedicated fulfillment lead to manage each sponsor’s requirements from contract to close. This includes artwork submissions, branded collateral, signage, digital integration, acknowledgements in the programme, and any experiential activations in the venue.

Managing registration fees involves more moving parts than most clients anticipate — payment gateway setup, early bird and category-based pricing tiers, group registration handling, invoice generation, refund and cancellation policy enforcement, GST treatment, and final financial reconciliation. We handle all of it.

We configure and manage a branded registration portal specific to your conference — covering delegate categorisation (member vs. non-member, local vs. international, student vs. professional), dynamic pricing windows, and automated confirmation and receipt issuance. All payments are processed through secure, auditable channels with real-time reporting available to your finance team.

Smart badges (typically RFID or NFC-enabled) enhance how conferences manage delegates, sessions, and data. We’ve implemented these systems across events of different scales and can recommend the right setup based on your event size and objectives. At a practical level, they enable contactless check-in and session access, giving you real-time attendance tracking without manual processes. This is especially useful for conferences with CPD or accreditation requirements.

On a more advanced level, smart badges can support sponsor lead retrieval, seamless networking, and even gamified engagement across your event. They’re most valuable for conferences with 200+ delegates where data, compliance, and sponsor ROI matter. For smaller events, we’ll advise if a simpler approach makes more sense.

Our approach starts with designing the conference for both audiences simultaneously, not adapting an in-person event for remote viewers after the fact. That means every session is built with a remote audience in mind: speaker positioning, presentation design, Q&A mechanics, and networking activities are all structured to give remote delegates a genuine sense of participation.

On the technical side, we deploy dedicated encoding hardware with redundant internet connections for reliable streaming, multi-camera production that captures both the stage and the room, and real-time monitoring of stream quality throughout the event. Remote delegates access a branded virtual event portal with session navigation, resource downloads, and live Q&A submission built in.
