SINGAPORE, Feb 6 (The Straits Times/ANN): The decision by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to postpone its leadership summit in Singapore has not deterred those planning other major events here, such as the Shangri-La Dialogue in June.

Several organisers of upcoming high-profile meetings, conferences and exhibitions told The Straits Times on Friday (Feb 5) they would press ahead. While some pointed to pre-existing plans to scale down or adopt a hybrid format including virtual elements, all acknowledged that they were still working out specifics amid the uncertainty of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
