It was truly an honour for Wayne to anchor the Singapore HR Awards held at Resorts World Sentosa in August 2019.

Not an easy feat following in the footsteps of very capable celebrity hosts in previous years, Muttons In The Morning (2018 hosts) and Adrian Pang (2017 host), who set the bar super high.

But Wayne was very happy to bring his own formal but fresh flavour to this prestigious event.

The opportunity to transform into different characters to tastefully match the party theme is something that Wayne is particularly adept at.

For Prudential’s 1000 pax gaming-themed dinner and dance which occupied two halls at Marina Bay Sands in 2018, he came as the Super Saiyan Goku from popular japanese manga Dragon Ball.

Here’s an insider secret – to get pumped to appear as a ripped super saiyan without donning a clumsy muscle suit, Wayne actually did 40 pull-ups a day two weeks prior to this show.

Wayne was the official emcee of the ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) 2020, hosted by Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, which took place from 17 – 20 November 2020, featuring strategic conference content, the Vietnam Prime Minister’s opening keynote address, ministerial sessions and C-suite dialogues streamed online across the 4 days.

AEBF is the only forum in the region where all 10 Asean Energy Ministers and Public and Private Sector Energy CXOs driving the region’s decarbonisation mission forward are available to network and engage with delegates.

Wayne Chan had the honour of hosting the 7th annual Asia Clean Energy Summit (27-29 October 2020) that’s a part of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) at Marina Bay Sands, marking the resumption of MICE events in Singapore.

The three-day convention was truly revolutionary, as it was Asia’s first clean energy event since the global pandemic, seeing 1700 delegates worldwide, with about 100 VVIPs physically attending on site including Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu as the guest of honour at this first-of-its-kind hybrid show – featuring a stunning line up of 18 informative keynotes, 2 thought-provoking workshops and 11 panel discussions on clean and renewable energy that engaged and inspired the delegates and dignitaries in attendance.

Held in Jakarta, the highly successful Indonesia PE-VC Summit organised by DealStreetAsia featured high calibre speakers, editorially-led agenda and top-class networking opportunities, gathering over 450 delegates from around the globe as well as the crème-de-la-crème of the industry to discuss the myriad opportunities in Indonesia – Southeast Asia’s largest market.

As the event’s official host, Wayne shared the stage with luminaries like John Riady, CEO, Lippo Karawaci or Ridzki Kramadibrata, President, Grab Indonesia, as the sessions delved into private equity trends in Indonesia; the emergence of venture capital growth funds; lessons that investors in Indonesia can learn from other markets and much more.

The National Environment Agency’s (NEA) 2019 celebrations featured an ultra-interesting theme that was not only ahead of its time, but also a reminder of a year in the future, 2036, when our landfill at Pulau Semakau will be completely filled.

Hence the theme 2036, Party of the Future, to thank some 600 industrious NEA officers who had been working tirelessly through the years to safeguard and nurture Singapore’s environmental future –  and at the same time strengthening friendships and camaraderie through a memorable dinner and dance party.
