I'll just start with this data and will collect event attendance details later this week.

Additionally, I will post a venue for Friday night drinks later this week.
Is not all this info in the Wiki above?

Want to make sure everything is captured for everyone and to use that to complete a list of who is attending each event.

Quick update is that lunch on Sunday will be in the Little India area. I'm finalizing the exact venue and will post that this week.

Well.. didn't keep it. Was exciting, but would cost more miles (and time) to return home from DXB. Haven't been to BKK yet either, so will be nice to see a new city.

Other question: seems a lot of folks are staying at the Hilton and I currently have a res there... is it that much better compared to the HGI as a Gold? Yes I've been reading the threads, but for the purposes of the DO the Hilton sounds good.

Very good location - near the MRT and good shopping if that's your bag, or may be a fish spa. Also close to the Hyatt where quite a few participants usually stay, although don't know about this year as not many listed on the wiki. Haven't stayed at the HGI (or the Hilton for that matter) so unable to compare but if the savings are considerable you may want to reconsider as Singapore is easy to get around and well served with MRT and buses.

I live very close to the Courtyard in Singapore. I guess I should be tentative for lunch. Tentative because not 100% sure I'll be in Singapore.

I haven't see any agenda for BKK. Has one been published?

I usually stay at the Conrad, which is fantastic as a gold (and especially as a Diamond which I am). However, the Conrad was sold out when I booked so that's why I'm at the Hilton. The location of the Hilton will be good, but I can't speak to the quality of the hotel as its my first time there.

I usually take a taxi for about $30(Singapore Dollars). The MRT(subway) is viable if you aren't in a hurry and want to save money.

In looking at the wiki, there may be a carpooling opportunity.

I have updated the wiki, for my flight inbound, not heading to any post do.
Staying Friday night at the Holiday Garden Inn, and the 2nd and 3rd nights at the Conrad.
Fly home Monday on Emirates.
Not seeing any locations for dinners while in Singapore unless I am not looking in the right section.
Looking forward to catching up with old friends.

Dinner venues will be added by January 10. I expect we'll switch the Friday dinner venue to Newton Hawker center.

Not in the Wiki but post 2 has the meals

18th says Newton which i assume means the Newton Hawker center and 19th is Chui Huay Lim Club. Both are right by the Newton MRT stop
