CEO Chat (continued)


I had the pleasure of spending some time with members in South East Asia last month when I hosted the eCMID and IIMS seminars in Singapore for the second year. Both days were a success and well attended. Personally I found the range of presentations very apt and of great interest as it seems did those present did too. Travelling to new places gives the opportunity to make new contacts. I had a number of side meetings whilst there with some interesting and influential people and the results of those meetings will be seen in the coming months. You can view five of the presentations that were recorded in Singapore on the IIMS YouTube channel at https://bit.ly/2c7Vpuz.


And finally before I sign off, I would like to promote our remaining programme of training events and seminars for 2018, which include activities as far afield as Sydney to Mumbai and Scotland to Portsmouth! More details are listed elsewhere in this news bulletin and on the website.
