APM 2024

Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) is a biennial trade show in the globally important market of Singapore. Maritime Singapore is home to more than 5,000 maritime establishments, including major shipyards and over 140 of the world’s top international shipping groups. These groups encompass ship management, agency, finance, insurance, broking and surveying, all based locally.

The sector is responsible for 160,000 jobs in Singapore. The sustained and strong growth of intra-regional trade within the Asia Pacific region continues, making it one of the world's fastest-growing markets. This exhibition attracts visitors from the surrounding region, so you can expect to see attendees from Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and China.

APM is a leading exhibition and conference in Asia, showcasing a comprehensive overview of vessel sector services and solutions, technology, vessel equipment, supplies and much more.

Graphics

The cost of the production of the backwall graphic and logo on your information counter is included in your stand. Advantages for you include:

• Professionally produced graphic which enhances the presentation of your company - Cost saving by not needing to produce graphics in the UK and ship to Singapore
• Reduced burden on staff in terms of stand build You will need to supply artwork for your backwall which is typically a high-resolution, pdf format.

Your logo should be an .ai or .eps file so it does not pixelate in a larger size. Further technical specifications and deadlines will be supplied.

Stand Size and Position

The minimum stand size is 9sqm however larger stand sizes are available at your request. If you wish to exhibit on a corner stand, please make your request at the time of booking. Corner stands will be available in strict order of booking, while we will do our best to fulfil any requests; locations cannot always be guaranteed and are strictly first-come, first-served.

Please kindly note: No extra pop-ups or stand systems will be allowed as they will interrupt the open sight line format of the pavilion. It will also cause your neighbouring stand to see the unfinished back of it which would be unacceptable.
