Cartier at Capella Singapore — Cartier Women's Initiative Awards 2018 (2018)

Capella Singapore hosted the 2018 Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards, including a TED collaboration on female entrepreneurship.

The venue

Capella Singapore is a hotel venue in Singapore used for ceremonies, conferences and private gatherings. Its event areas are arranged for seated audiences and stage presentations, with adjoining spaces for reception and circulation. The record does not verify which room was used; the described setting is an indoor hotel event space rather than a public gallery, retail floor or street-level site.

How the space was used

For the 2018 Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards, the hotel’s event space hosted an awards ceremony and a TED collaboration on the same day. The room was dressed as a typical New York City apartment for a special TED session, with five speakers addressing the theme “daring to innovate, turning ideas into gold.” The setting moved the audience from a formal ceremony into a conversational, residential-style interior.

Why it works here

Hotel event spaces suit award programmes that combine ceremony, private conversation and controlled presentation. Capella Singapore can hold a seated audience and stage programme indoors, then shift to a designed room narrative for the TED session. This format depends on privacy and sequence rather than public footfall, which matches a hotel venue.
