com.cn Global Networking Expo (GNEX) 2012
Event Date - From : 31 January 2012 To : 02 February 2012 Location : Ritz Carlton Cancun, Cancun, Mexico. Organiser : Perspective Magazine
The second annual Global Networking Expo, GNEX 2012, will be held from January 31st to February 2nd 2012, at the elegant Ritz Carlton Cancun in Cancun, Mexico. Following the success of the recently held GNEX 2011 at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, event organizers selected the Ritz Carlton Cancun to maintain its status of staging the international event in a world-class hospitality venue whilst also adding the opportunity for its global attendees to visit one of the most highly concentrated areas for timeshare and fractional ownership developments worldwide. The Ritz Carlton Cancun is the only ocean-front resort in the world with three distinctive AAA Five Diamond Awards. Considered one of the fi nest hotels in the world, the resort won the 2009 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for Best Luxury Hotel in the World and is situated on 1,200 feet of white-sand beaches in the heart of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. “Next year’s event will be held over three days to incorporate some new features and extend those that worked best in 2011,” said Paul Mattimoe, president and CEO, Perspective Magazine. “GNEX 2012 will include more innovative networking sessions and events, only the most relevant of educational sessions with incredible speakers from around the world and also a resort tour of some of the most successful shared ownership properties in the area.” Networking and the ability to meet one-on-one with top industry leaders is the hallmark of this exclusive event, as over 80 companies from 15 countries were represented during last month’s expo. The majority of attendees held the titles of President, CEO, Managing Director or a similar executive-level designation, with the remainder primarily at a director of business development level or similar.
