Icon to promote Conde Nast's World Savers Congress in Singapore

Icon International Communications has been appointed as the public relations agency for the upcoming Condé Nast Traveler World Savers Congress, which will be held in Singapore on 20 October.

This is the first time the event will be held outside the United States, and will discuss initiatives to limit the environmental impact of tourism, and to improve the health, education and economic well-being of communities worldwide.

This year’s World Savers Congress will feature a powerful international speaker line-up and is expected to attract an audience of more than 250 CEOs and senior executives across the global and regional travel industry. Some of the confirmed panellists include CEOs from Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts, Carlson, Six Senses Spas and Resorts and Anantara.

“Icon was selected because of its knowledge, experience and strong network in the travel industry across the region. The agency will be responsible for media relations, audience development and overall raising awareness of the Congress across the region and beyond,” said Susan Harrington, associate publisher for marketing/ creative services at Condé Nast Traveler.
