Greetings from EduTech Asia in Singapore. The trade show is about the same size as last year. I was surprised there was not more mention of AI on vendors stands, although there is in the title of conference talks. The conference venus takes some getting used to for those familiar with academic events. Rather than have to go upstairs to the conference rooms above the exhibition floor, some of the floor has been curtained off around the periphery.
There are stages for the speakers and rows of seats for delegates, but the area I am in has 1,000 seats and three stages. The roar from the exhibition floor comes through the curtains. To overcome the noise the audience wear headphones, which are tuned to one of the three presentations taking place. The sound is excellent with the headphones, but the panel member farthest from the chair is having to wear headphone as well to hear. Also the room is very dark and so the large projection screens look uncomfortably bright.
