Having taken into consideration the fact they were ‘running out’ of past SCL presidents to speak at this annual event, this year’s organisers invited (for the first time) one of the SCL MOU partners to contribute. This year's after-dinner speaker was from our MOU partner, Singapore Institute of Architects. Its president, Ashvinkumar Kantilal delivered an entertaining, light-hearted take on ‘Glocalisation of Practice’- The colourful ingredients and approaches that the Singapore Architect can embrace and adopt in endeavouring to become a successful professional, from small to large organisations, going beyond the shorelines to market themselves to secure new business and re-brand the ‘Singapore Inc’ approach.
