all run in a relaxed and conducive environment.

Most importantly, this professionally-curated event provided investors and business leaders with the opportunity to network in a setting where every conversation is worthwhile.

The conference attracted some of the most dynamic companies in the Asia-Pacific, as well as government and global institutional investors. Delegates range from key industry thought-leaders, to company heads, senior executives, investors and board members.
