FESTIVAL GROWS TO FOUR DAYS
5 February 2014 – The Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity, Asia Pacific’s premier Festival & Awards for the creative communications industry, has announced this year’s Festival dates as 23 – 26 September 2014.
Taking place at Suntec, Singapore, the 2014 event has been moved to take place in the week following the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The revised dates allow for an exciting change to the Festival, as 2014 sees it grow from a 3-day to a 4-day Festival.
Commenting on the changes, Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals, says “Moving the Festival back by a week positions it better for growth, allowing us to offer delegates even greater content with four days of relevant and essential industry learning and networking. It’s an exciting time for the region and we look to reflect that in the Festival and Awards.”
