Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: SIN
Captured Google Flights rows for the March 2027 planning window show Singapore-origin fares rather than inbound congress fares: Hong Kong nonstop from SGD 319, Denpasar nonstop from SGD 156 and Tiruchirappalli nonstop from SGD 445. Use these only as a scale reference for Changi pricing. Search your actual origin to SIN closer to the date, compare direct versus one-stop options, and book a flexible fare if the final congress dates are not yet confirmed.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Changi Airport (SIN). Allow road or rail time to Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium: Havelock / Singapore River: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium by IHG.
Ride-hail: Grab is the dominant ride-hail app in Singapore, with Gojek and TADA also available. Fares are dynamic; a 10-20 min city trip such as Havelock to Marina Bay typically falls in the SGD 8-18 range outside surge. Use the app's fixed-fare option where offered and confirm pickup points at the hotel or venue.

Havelock station on the Thomson-East Coast Line serves the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium area; Outram Park and Marina Bay are the main interchanges for the East West and North East lines. Contactless bank cards and SimplyGo are accepted at gates; single fares are roughly SGD 1.20-2.50. Bus routes along Havelock Road and Zion Road connect to Chinatown and Orchard.
Parking: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium has on-site parking, but rates and availability were not captured. Confirm the current hourly or daily rate with the hotel before driving. For day delegates, Havelock MRT is usually easier than finding parking in the Havelock/Singapore River area.

Glossary
- Immuno-oncology
- The branch of cancer treatment that uses the immune system, including checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy and cancer vaccines, to recognise and attack tumour cells.
- Checkpoint inhibitor
- A drug that blocks proteins such as PD-1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4 so that T cells can mount a stronger response against cancer cells.
- Targeted therapy
- Treatment that interferes with a specific molecular driver of cancer, such as a mutated kinase or overexpressed receptor, rather than killing all rapidly dividing cells.
- Biomarker
- A measurable biological indicator, such as a gene mutation, protein level or imaging feature, used to diagnose cancer, select therapy or monitor response.
- Liquid biopsy
- A blood or body-fluid test that detects circulating tumour DNA, cells or other cancer-derived material, often used when a tissue biopsy is difficult or to track resistance.
- CAR-T cell therapy
- A personalised treatment in which a patient's T cells are engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor that targets a specific cancer antigen.
- Radiopharmaceutical and theranostics
- Radioactive drugs used for cancer imaging or therapy; theranostics pairs a diagnostic radiotracer with a matched therapeutic radiopharmaceutical.
- Multidisciplinary tumour board
- A meeting of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and other specialists who agree on a coordinated cancer treatment plan.
- Progression-free survival (PFS)
- The time from treatment start until tumour growth or death from any cause, a common endpoint in oncology clinical trials.
- Overall survival (OS)
- The time from diagnosis or treatment start until death from any cause, often considered the definitive endpoint in cancer trials.
- Real-world evidence
- Clinical evidence derived from routine care data, registries and electronic health records rather than controlled trials, used to test how treatments perform in everyday practice.
- Supportive care
- Services that prevent or manage treatment side effects and improve quality of life, including pain control, nutrition, psychosocial support and survivorship planning.
