Aloysius Arlando is currently the Immediate Past President of SACEOS (Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers). He was President of the International Association of Convention Centres (AIPC) from 2017 to 2021, the association’s first Asian president and Vice-Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) in 2013-2014. He also sits on the Industry Advisory Committees of the Singapore Institute of Technology and Temasek Polytechnic for their hospitality and events business course programmes.

He is an active member of the Tourism Recovery Action Committee and the Emerging Stronger Taskforce, which are public-private sector efforts to restart Singapore’s tourism and business travel & MICE industries in a Covid-endemic world.

Aloysius is the former Chief Executive (Venues) of Constellar Holdings, a merger of MICE players SingEx and Sphere Exhibits, and owned by Temasek Holdings and Singapore Press Holdings. Prior to the merger in 2021, Aloysius was Chief Executive Officer of SingEx.

Under his leadership, Singapore EXPO, Singapore’s largest purpose-built MICE venue was temporarily converted into a Community Care Facility in support of the nation’s COVID-19 containment efforts. He also oversaw Constellar Holdings’ role as a key partner in Connect@Changi, a short-stay facility located within Singapore EXPO for the safe business exchange between international travellers and Singapore residents.

At SingEx, he has built up a portfolio of MICE-related ventures in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as developed the organisation’s suite of hybrid event solutions and venue management services to new standards. Singapore EXPO & MAX Atria was awarded Best International Venue 2016 by UK’s Exhibition News (EN) and Best Business Event Venue 2018 by Singapore Tourism Board. The exhibitions arm of SingEx was awarded Best Trade Conference Organiser and Best Exhibition Organiser for the world’s largest fintech festival, Singapore FinTech Festival 2018 and 2019 and Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific – A Hannover Messe tradeshow in 2018 respectively.

Prior to SingEx, Aloysius spent 18 years in various leadership positions in Singapore’s public sector, principally at the Singapore Tourism Board and Ministry of Trade & Industry where he oversaw the development plans for Singapore’s business travel and MICE industries. He was a key member of a multi-agency committee responsible for the MICE development aspects of Singapore’s Integrated Resorts projects and the organizing committee for the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix, the world’s first night race. He also served in the Ministry of Manpower where he spearheaded lifelong learning and workforce development efforts.

In 2004, Aloysius received a Public Administration Award in recognition of his achievements. Aloysius capped off his stint in the public sector as the Assistant Chief Executive of Business Travel and MICE in STB, where under his watch, Singapore emerged as the Top International Meetings City and Asia’s Top Country and City for Meetings by the Union of International Associations for the first time. He was also concurrently serving as the Executive Director of the organising committee for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Singapore 2009 high-level meetings.
