Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 takes place from 18 to 20 November 2026 at Singapore EXPO (1 Expo Drive, Singapore 486150), in Halls 1–6 and Foyer 1 Level 2. Delegates come from around the world, and the three days are packed with sessions, side events and meetings across the city.
Singapore EXPO is in the east, a short distance from Changi Airport. Most visitors, however, stay in the city centre, so the daily journey is usually between a Marina Bay, Orchard or Civic District hotel and the EXPO. This guide covers how to get to the venue, when a private chauffeur makes sense, and how to plan a multi-day schedule.

How to get to Singapore EXPO
By MRT
Expo MRT station (CG1/DT35) is the nearest station and sits on the Downtown Line and the Changi Airport branch of the East-West Line. According to the festival's venue page, it is closest to Foyer Two and Hall 6. Bus services 20 and 118 also stop at Expo station.
By taxi or ride-hailing
The venue has taxi stands at Foyer One and Foyer Two. At the start and end of each day, expect queues and heavier road traffic around the venue.
By car
The festival's venue page lists road access from the East Coast Parkway (ECP), the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and the Tampines Expressway (TPE).
From Changi Airport
The airport is very close to the venue. The official page describes Singapore EXPO as one MRT stop or a few minutes' drive from Changi Airport. For a delegate flying in with only a laptop bag, the MRT or a taxi is an easy option. A private transfer makes more sense if you are travelling with luggage, a team or a client, or you want a confirmed ride at an awkward arrival time.
When a private chauffeur makes sense
The value of a private car at a large conference is rarely the airport run. It is everything that happens across three days:
- Hotel to EXPO and back at the start and end of each day, when taxis and ride-hailing are in highest demand
- Evening events at hotels, rooftops and venues across the city, often finishing late
- Back-to-back meetings between the EXPO and offices or hotels in Marina Bay and the CBD
- Hosting clients or executives who expect a car waiting, not a booking app
- Group travel for a team arriving together
Hourly chauffeur for conference days
An hourly chauffeur keeps one driver and one vehicle with you for the whole schedule, so you can leave the venue the moment a meeting ends. The minimum booking is three hours. Tell us your planned stops, and we will build the day around them.
Executive sedan for senior delegates
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is our executive sedan, suited to a senior delegate or a client meeting. It is a quiet, comfortable place to take a call between sessions.
MPV or van for teams
A Toyota Alphard or Noah suits small teams travelling together. A 13-seat Toyota Hiace fits a larger delegation in one vehicle, with one pickup point and one driver.

For regular or multi-day business travel, see our corporate transport service.
A practical plan for the three days
- Day one (18 November): allow extra time. Entry queues build at opening, and the roads around the venue are at their busiest then.
- Between sessions: decide in advance whether you will return to the hotel or stay at the venue, and tell your driver the pickup point rather than waiting for a call.
- Evening events: agree a pickup window instead of an exact minute. Receptions often run late.
- Final day (20 November): if you fly out the same evening, plan the departure transfer from the venue or your hotel, allowing time for traffic and airport check-in. The EXPO is close to Changi, but a departure from a city hotel is a longer drive.
Checklist for delegates
- Note the hall and entrance for your sessions
- Save the driver's number and share it with your team
- Choose a vehicle that fits the whole group and the luggage
- Plan evening events and late pickups in advance
- Keep your flight details handy for the departure transfer
- Check the festival's official site for venue or schedule updates
Frequently asked questions
How far is Singapore EXPO from Changi Airport?
Very close. The festival's venue page describes it as one MRT stop or a short drive from Changi Airport.
Which MRT station should I use for Singapore FinTech Festival?
Expo MRT station (CG1/DT35), on the Downtown Line and the Changi Airport branch of the East-West Line.
Is a private car worth it if I am staying in the city?
For a single trip, the MRT or a taxi is usually fine. A private car is worth considering if you have several meetings, evening events, senior guests or a team to move, or if you want a confirmed ride at the busiest times.
Can we book a chauffeur for all three days?
Yes. An hourly chauffeur has a three-hour minimum, and you can book each day separately. Share your daily schedule and we will plan the pickup points with you.
