Venue
Singapore is located at one of the crossroads of the world. If there is one word that best captures Singapore, it is “unique”. Singapore's strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for both business and pleasure. A dynamic city rich in contrast and colour, you'll find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture here. Brimming with unbridled energy, this little dynamo in Southeast Asia embodies the finest of both East and West.
PyCon APAC will be held in the Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium at Level 2 of the School of Accountancy of the Singapore Management University (SMU) campus.
SMU's campus is purpose-built over 4.5 hectares of prime Singapore land. It is the first of its kind to be designed, integrated and constructed in the heart of a fully developed cityscape and surrounded by museums, theatres, educational institutions, art galleries, cafés, restaurants and a range of retail outlets. It offers an open environment in the heart of Singapore, with the ground floor of the buildings and the underground concourse freely accessible to the public.
