2020. The year of COVID-19.
Has 2020 been a rollercoaster year for you so far?
Typically, most of us would look forward to the end of the year; travel to an exotic overseas location, wind down and relax before the start of the next year. But this year is atypical - the world is still in lockdown, most borders stay closed to international travelers, countries are challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. People are still struggling with their face masks, vaccine manufacturers are racing to produce a fully validated vaccine, online meetings are de rigueur... even our upcoming ISPE Singapore conference has evolved to become a virtual meeting as well!
Amidst the global chaos, we are proud to say that ISPE is and has always maintained its familiar, comforting presence with its members. In this final quarter edition of the newsletter, be sure to check out our Editor's picks, video interview and upcoming events. Also, please visit and like our updated LinkedIn page
Till we meet again in Dec 2020 (for our annual affiliate conference), stay masked, stay sane and stay positive!
Our show will still go on(line). We look forward to re-uniting with you then, virtually of course.
Best regards
Nicholas Tan
ISPE Singapore Affiliate
