ICANN 1 was held in Singapore, between March 2nd and 4th, 1999. It was the organizations debut public conference, and consequently involved laying the groundwork for its actual structure and functioning. The meetings were held at various venues, namely the Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Pan Pacific Hotel.[1] Currently, Singapore is one of only three cities that have hosted more than one ICANN conference; Los Angeles, California and Marina Del Rey, California , which is ICANN's headquarters, have both hosted two conferences.
