First5000 readers invited to special events to mark the Sydney ASEAN Summit
The Australia-ASEAN Business Council is hosting a number of events in the week of the Special ASEAN Leaders Summit in March in Sydney.
First5000 readers are invited to attend the following events:
1. ASEAN-Australia Business Insights Dinner on 14 March 2018 in Sydney. This is a welcome dinner for the ASEAN Business Advisory Council comprised of successful business CEOs from all 10 ASEAN countries, appointed by their respective Governments, to advise ASEAN Leaders on establishing and building the ASEAN Economic Community including global trade and investment connections.
Limited seats remain available at a cost of $150 per person. Register by emailing welcome@australia-aseanbc.org and referencing ‘Welcome Dinner’. Registration closes on the 7th of March.
2. The ASEAN-Australia Entrepreneurs Business Forum on 15 March in Sydney will include representatives from the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Council comprised of successful young business CEOs from all 10 ASEAN countries mandated by their governments as the official voice of young entrepreneurs in the ASEAN policy-making process, and to activate and connect young entrepreneurs across the region.
This event will see the Australian launch of the ASEAN Mentorship for Entrepreneurs Network (AMEN). AMEN was annoucned by President Duterte in the Philippines as a key initiative during the Philippines chairmanship of ASEAN and we are proud that its first launch outside of ASEAN will be at this Forum.
