Face to face meetings plays a major part in communication. It is not just how you said something, but also your facial expressions and body posture. Nobody handles his client’s cargo with someone never met. 

Scheduled one to one meetings were made between delegates on 9 May and 10 May 2016.

Delegates were ready on their tables to catch human touch, make friends, win new partners and increase their shipment volume in one shot through one to one meetings.

There was an optional site visit to Modern Terminals Limited (Hong Kong Container Port). Modern Terminals was visited with 20 delegates on 09 May 2016. Delegates, who attended to MTL site visit had the chance to see operations at site. This was amazing and beneficial site visit!

On the evening of 9 May, 2016 all delegates were invited to go to the Victoria Harbour for a magnificent dinner cruise and enjoy the spectacle of Hong Kong’s skyline at night. Delegates had a chance to capture the magic of the harbor while having international buffet dinner, enjoying live band performance and meet with other delegates in a non-business environment. It was the evening of fun and relax.
