Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Changi Airport
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Carlton Hotel Singapore
USD 150–190 / night
Guest rating around 4.4 with eco-certification; breakfast and parking are chargeable, and there is an outdoor pool, fitness centre and bar. Google Hotels showed a rate for the 24-25 October 2026 window roughly 16% below its usual level, which is a useful reference but should be re-checked. Estimate, confirm before booking.
Hotel NuVe Heritage, City Hall
USD 150–190 / night
Boutique property flagged as good value for a four-star, with a rating around 4.1, free Wi-Fi, breakfast and parking, and a smoke-free policy. Small room count means it sells out early around city events. Estimate, confirm before booking.
The Snooze Hotel @Bugis
USD 95–122 / night
Rating around 4.2 with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast and parking, smoke-free. Bugis MRT gives a one-stop ride to Esplanade or a 10-12 minute walk to the venue. Estimate, confirm before booking.
Grand Park City Hall
USD 150–190 / night
Eco-certified hotel with a rating around 4.2; Google Hotels showed a discount of roughly 24% against its usual rate for the show window. Walkable to Suntec through City Hall and Marina Square. Estimate, confirm before booking.
YMCA One Orchard
USD 95–122 / night
Rating around 4.3 with free Wi-Fi, free parking, pool, air conditioning and a restaurant. Good budget base if you want Orchard shopping and dining, but you will commute to the venue each day. Estimate, confirm before booking.
Pan Pacific Singapore
USD 220–320 / night
Full-service hotel linked into the Marina Centre and Suntec City mall complex, which makes it the shortest commute for a two-day show. Rates move quickly during corporate event weeks. Estimate, confirm before booking.
Conrad Centennial Singapore
USD 230–330 / night
Business-oriented hotel in Marina Centre close to Suntec City and Millenia Walk, typically used by exhibitors and speakers who need meeting space on site. Estimate, confirm before booking.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
MRT
Take the East West Line from Changi Airport, change at Tanah Merah onto a city-bound train, then alight at City Hall or continue on the Circle Line to Esplanade/Promenade for the 8-10 minute walk into Suntec.
taxi
Journey is roughly 18-20 km and takes 25-40 minutes outside peak hours. Taxis queue at each terminal arrival hall; surcharges apply for airport pickups and late-night trips.
ride-hail
Ride-hail pickups at Changi use designated arrival-level points; at Suntec, set the drop-off to the Suntec City tower nearest your hall to avoid circling the complex.
MRT short hop
One or two stops cover the distance from City Hall and Bugis hotels to the Esplanade and Promenade exits that serve Suntec; the walk from Esplanade CC3 is around 8-10 minutes under cover for most of the route.
walk
Several hotels sit within 400-600 m: Hotel NuVe Heritage around 380 m, The Snooze Hotel @Bugis around 470 m and Carlton Hotel Singapore around 510 m. Most of the route is covered by mall walkways or shaded pavements.
public bus
Several city bus services stop along Nicoll Highway and Temasek Boulevard, a short walk from the convention centre. Useful for Orchard hotels where the MRT ride needs a change.
Weather
Late October falls in Singapore's inter-monsoon period: hot, humid days around 24-32°C with frequent short, intense afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Open-Meteo guidance for the show dates suggests 24 October 2026 at highs near 32°C and lows near 25°C with rain showers, and 25 October 2026 at highs near 28°C and lows near 24°C with a thunderstorm. Treat this as a public forecast estimate and re-check a few days before travel. Practical effect for delegates: humidity around 75-90%, sudden downpours that last under an hour, and very cold air conditioning inside Suntec's halls and the linked malls.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Singapore has dense 4G and 5G coverage across Marina Centre, including Suntec City, so a local SIM or eSIM is usually enough for maps, ride-hail and email. Prepaid tourist SIMs from the major local operators are sold at Changi Airport arrival halls and in convenience stores in Suntec City and Bugis; eSIM plans can be activated before departure. Wi-Fi is normally available in Suntec's public areas, the convention centre and most hotels, but treat public networks as unsecured and use a VPN for clinic or business systems. Power sockets are British-style Type G, 230 V, so bring an adapter for European, US or Australian plugs.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and currency
English is the working language of business, transport signage and the conference programme in Singapore. The local currency is the Singapore dollar (SGD); card and contactless payment are accepted almost everywhere in Marina Centre, including the Suntec City mall and taxi fleets.
Local rules that catch visitors out
Fines apply for littering, eating or drinking on the MRT, jaywalking near the venue and smoking outside designated areas. Chewing gum is not sold locally, and vaping is restricted. Check signage in Suntec City mall and at MRT station entrances rather than assuming rules match your home city.
Dress, greetings and meetings
Smart casual or business casual is standard for a veterinary conference in Singapore. Handshakes are the normal greeting across roles and genders, business cards are exchanged early in conversations with distributors or clinic owners, and hierarchy in clinic teams is usually respected, with practice owners leading supplier discussions.
Tipping and dining
Tipping is not expected. Restaurants typically add a 10% service charge plus GST to the bill, while hawker centres and coffee shops are cashless-friendly and priced without service. Booking ahead matters on show evenings because Marina Centre restaurants fill with corporate groups.
Weather and daily rhythm
Business activity starts early and the working day can run into evening dinners. Storms usually arrive mid to late afternoon, so schedule walks between hotels, Suntec and Marina Square for the morning or use the covered mall routes when a downpour hits.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: SIN
Use Singapore Changi (SIN) as the airport code for every search; the city also has Seletar (XSP) for limited turboprop traffic, but it is not a realistic gateway for most delegates. The show runs 24-25 October 2026, so plan to land on 23 October and depart on 25 or 26 October, which puts you into the post-show corporate travel window in Marina Centre. Book 6-10 weeks ahead for regional routes and earlier for long-haul, and compare a full-service carrier against low-cost options that charge for checked bags and seat selection. Fares captured for other origins are not quotes for these dates, so run a live search before committing; if you are travelling from Europe or the Middle East, a one-stop routing through a regional hub often lands in the early morning, which suits a same-day hotel check-in.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Changi Airport (SIN). Allow road or rail time to Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre: City Hall / Marina Centre: Carlton Hotel Singapore; City Hall: Hotel NuVe Heritage, City Hall; Bugis: The Snooze Hotel @Bugis.
Ride-hail: Grab is the dominant ride-hail app in Singapore, with Gojek and TADA as alternatives and ComfortDelGro's own app for metered taxis. Fares from Changi Airport to Suntec typically quote around SGD 22-50 depending on surge and vehicle class, while short hops within Marina Centre and City Hall usually come in under SGD 15. At Suntec, set the pickup pin to the specific tower or convention centre entrance you are at, because the complex is large and drivers cannot stop on Nicoll Highway. During the 24-25 October show days, expect slightly longer waits around 08:30-09:30 and again after sessions end.
Public transit: Suntec Singapore is served by three MRT catchments: Esplanade (Circle Line CC3) and Promenade (Circle Line CC4 and Downtown Line DT15) are the closest, with City Hall (East West EW13 / North South NS25) and Bugis (EW12 / DT14) a 10-15 minute walk or a one-stop ride away. Single fares run roughly SGD 1.00-2.40 depending on distance and are paid by contactless Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the gates, or with an EZ-Link or SimplyGo card. Trains run from around 05:30 to midnight, are air-conditioned and signposted in English. The Circle Line from Esplanade puts you at the Suntec City edge in under ten minutes on foot under cover, which makes public transport practical even in a downpour.
Parking: Suntec City operates a large multi-storey car park directly beneath the convention centre, with lift access to the halls and mall. Expect approximately SGD 2-4 per hour with per-entry caps on weekends and evenings; confirm the current rate board on arrival because tariffs change. Traffic builds on Nicoll Highway and Temasek Boulevard before 09:30 and after 18:00, and the car park fills quickly during major events in Marina Centre. If you are driving in from Malaysia, check the Vehicle Entry Permit requirements before crossing the causeway, and note that parking at nearby Marina Square is an alternative overflow option within walking distance.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: Late October 2026 (show dates 24-25 October)
Temperature: Approx. 24-32°C across 24-25 October 2026, with daytime humidity typically 75-90% (Open-Meteo public forecast estimate).
Seasonality: These dates sit in Singapore's inter-monsoon transition, when short and heavy afternoon showers or thunderstorms are common. The forecast for 24 October shows showers with highs near 32°C, and for 25 October a thunderstorm with highs near 28°C; rain usually clears within an hour but can be intense while it lasts.
Packing: Pack light, breathable fabrics, a compact umbrella or packable rain shell, and comfortable walking shoes for the Suntec and Marina Square walkways. Bring a light jacket or cardigan because the conference halls, session rooms and malls are heavily air-conditioned, plus a refillable water bottle for the humid walk between hotel and venue. If you plan clinic visits or distributor meetings around the show, one smart casual outfit is enough for both the floor and evening dinners.
