A Message from the COO,
Mark Saunders
I have just returned from a simply wonderful AAANZ conference in Panama.
Every aspect of the event was enjoyable, from the excellent hotel, superb speakers, great food and entertainment and a very interesting visit to the Panama Canal. A huge vote of thanks is due to our host firm Chen Gordon Y Asociados and particularly to Gabriel Gordon who was so helpful during the whole planning process and with his colleagues and his family during our time in Panama City. His firm were extremely generous hosts and made everyone feel very welcome.
We had a superb attendance with members travelling from across the globe but it was particularly rewarding to meet some of our members from Latin America whom we had not met in person before. I thank all the members for attending and for making their own contributions towards a wonderful conference.
My thanks also to our sponsors, SymTek and Think LLP and of course to Rosa Flores for all her hard work both before and during the conference. For the very first time we enlisted the help of a translation service which worked extremely well and enabled all of us to fully participate in the event.
I always go to great lengths to encourage everyone to attend our Integra conferences as there is simply nothing to compare with meeting your fellow members in person and building lasting relationships. It is always so enjoyable to meet again with old friends and to make new ones. I'm sure that all those that experienced Panama will have returned home enriched by the experience. The atmosphere is simply so special and, after our work in the conference room is over, we show that Integra also knows how to enjoy a party! Watch the post-conference video!
We now therefore turn our attention to Athens and our next conference in just a few weeks. I do hope you will be able to join us and the details to register are included in this newsletter. We are arranging an exciting and engaging agenda and social programme. I look forward to meeting you there, to enjoy the local the hospitality of Prooptiki SA, our host firm and experiencing the amazing sights and history of one of the world's most iconic cities.
