Urban Sustainability R & D Congress

It is my first day post-moustache.  Don't worry, I will be alright.  In more serious news, this week, we (Henry, Meghan, and myself) are representing the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance at the Urban Sustainablity R & D Conference at Biopolis.  The convention is set-up in order to provide a platform for the public sector, industry, and researchers to come together and discuss urban sustainability issues.  Of course networking is large part of this event, along with booth exhibits and speakers.

Our new friend from work Kalyan, was quite fun to work with at this event.  He comes from the research and scientific side of the isle and offered us a great deal of insight.  Most of our work at this events included representing the organization, distributing pamphlets and information, and directing intersted parties to further information where they requested. 

It also happened that a French girl worked a booth across the way, so I even got in a few minutes of French conversation.  How convenient.  Finally, the fact that the food was on the house, was also I nice perk to this event.  As we move forward in the week, we will be working hard to finalize plans for the opening of ASC Pandan, the science center, next week.
