This series is written by Katie about her trip to AAMAS 2016 in Singapore, Singapore.
I found my time in Singapore to be jam packed. Between attending the AAMAS Agents Summer school, presenting a paper at AAMAS, networking, and enjoying the city, I admittedly did not take the time to blog nightly as I often do on trips. As such, this post is more of a photo college than a normal blog post.
I enjoyed my time in Singapore, and found that with a 9 night stay I was able to really integrate myself into the city and culture. I look forward to visiting Singapore again – the food, culture, and tourism infrastructure are exceptional.
