You did not say how long it takes from the airport to City Hall and vice versa?

Unless you arrive in the middle of the night, the normal way to get to
the hotel is to take the underground (subway in American) which is
called the MRT.  It runs from about 530 AM to 1115 PM.  Like
everything else in Singapore, the MRT is clean, safe, and reliable.

There is a MRT station in the airport.  Find a ticket machine and buy
a ticket to the City Hall station for about S$2.50.  Use the ticket to
touch in and keep it since you can reload it for future trips cheaper
than buying a new one, or see below.

The airport line is two stops.  At the end change to a westbound train
toward Tuas Link and take it 10 stops to City Hall station.  Touch
out, and there is an exit from the station into the Raffles City
Centre which is connected directly to the two conference hotels.

If you plan to travel around Singapore at all, rather than getting a
ticket, go to the ticket booth and buy an EZLink or NETS stored value
card for S$5 plus whatever you load onto it.  Fares using the cards
are less than with tickets, and you can also use them to pay for buses
and taxis.

If you arrive late at night when the MRT isn't running, taxi or (if
you are OK with insurance fraud and cheating drivers as a business
model) Uber are the options.

Any chance you can tell your employer that this sort of disclaimer makes them look
ridiculous?
