Singapore to host first-ever World Engineers Summit

Summit to tackle climate change solutions.

Singapore will host the first-ever World Engineers Summit (WES) 2013 from 9th to 15th September at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

Themed “Innovative and Sustainable Solutions to Climate Change”, the Summit will be held in conjunction with the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) General Assembly and committee meetings.

WFEO is an international, non-governmental organisation representing the engineering profession worldwide; it brings together national engineering organisations from over 90 nations and represents some 20 million engineers from around the world.

Furthermore, the Summit will be held alongside two other industry events – Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia 2013 and the International Green Building Conference 2013.

Organizers said this convergence of events will allow engineers from multiple disciplines to congregate and share innovative and eco-friendly solutions and best practices drawn from around the world.

Organized by the Institution of Engineers Singapore and managed by Reed Exhibitions, the Summit is expected to draw more than 1,000 attendees, making it the largest international gathering of engineers in the history of Singapore.

Delegates attending WES 2013 can look forward to industry keynotes, panel discussions and over 12 concurrent breakout sessions all aimed at fostering dialogue among industry, academic and government leaders whilst providing insights and analysis on hot topics related to climate change and sustainability.

Luminaries who will be delivering keynote addresses on 11 sectors ranging from governments to corporations to NGOs, and regions from Asia to Europe to Latin America. They include Mr Bindu N Lohani, Vice President, Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development, Asia Development Bank, Dr Noleen Heyzer, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Dr Suzana Kahn-Ribeiro, Green Economy Sub-Secretary, Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Environment, Brazil, and Dr Roland Busch, CEO, Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Siemens AG.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
