What does it take to bring a nation’s boldest dreams to life on the global stage? Join us for an exclusive guest talk with the team behind the breathtaking 'Dream Sphere' at the 2025 World Expo. 

This presentation by the Singapore Tourism Board will pull back the curtain on the pavilion’s conceptual origins, reveal the intricate web of local and international collaborations that power it, and detail the true scale of the endeavour—from its economic footprint to the vast commitment of human resources. This is a unique opportunity to discover how a small nation turns monumental ambitions into breathtaking reality. 

The talk will be followed by a panel discussion with BA (Hons) Arts Management students who will share their impressions of and insights into the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

Speaker: Carrie Kwik, Singapore Pavilion Director, Singapore Tourism Board

Crystal Chu, Executive Creative Director, KR+D, Creative Arm of Kingsmen
