pirits were high and anticipation filled the halls of Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre as the APACRS organizing chairman, Dr. Chan Wing Kwong (Singapore), delivered his welcome speech, promising an exciting, informative program this year. “The committee has worked very hard to put up a program that is curated, focused, relevant, and up to date — delivered by some of the most eminent speakers from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond,” he noted. He also took the audience on a wonderful trip down memory lane with a video showcasing APACRS milestones and meetings in different countries over the years since its inception in 1987.
