Editor's Note
Editor's Note Contents A New Dawn
For this issue of Events Asia, we would like to start things off by thanking Natalie Chen for the great work which she has done for the publication. She has left to pursue other career options. The fi rst edition of magazine debuted in April under her watch, and she has set the bar. As Events Asia grows, it will continue to evolve. Events are serious business, yet they are also fun. A juxtaposition of two polar
opposites, but yet they make sense. They are serious based on objectives and execution. Fun when guests are enthralled and their joy radiates through to the organisers. This likewise will be the underlying philosophy for the magazine. Though seeking to bring you the latest hard hitting news, we hope you will enjoy the ride too. The end goal is you the reader. What you expect to see, what you would like to read, what will inspire you, it's all about you. To that end, do feel free to send in your feedback and comments. You have heard us. We shall now hear from you.
