This year delegates were treated to the hospitality of their host, the National University of Singapore. The scientific program was as diverse as the population of Singapore, ranging from statistics in genomics, distribution theory, finance, stochastic processes and many more interesting (or should I say, incomprehensible) topics. Papers delivered by the three representatives from the Department of Statistics, at the University of Pretoria were of high quality and therefore well received by peers from all over the world. Delegates were also given the opportunity to explore and enjoy the rich Asian cuisine, and the beautiful orchid gardens.
