    Lightbulb Speak Cantonese? Interested / work in Marketing? Free this Saturday??

    The Chartered Institute of Marketing's conference is taking place this Saturday in Kowloon with speakers from HSBC, Coca Cola, JVC etc. I can take one free guest but only if they are Cantonese speaking as all the papers are given in the local language. Personal message me if you are interested.

    NB You don't need to be a member of CIM

    Here: Wei Hing Theatre, City University of Hong Kong,
    Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon

    When: 9.30 - 5.30 this Saturday.

    Who's speaking:

    Morning Session:

    HSBC - Building a Global Brand in Asia
        Speaker : Mr. Anthony Lau, Head of Branding and Marketing Communications
    The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
    Sheraton - Building Employee Branding
        Speaker : Ms. Winnie Chiu, Director of Human Resources
    Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel and Towers
    KCRC - Strategic Alliance in Public Transportation
        Speaker : Mr. Wilson Shao, Marketing Manager
    Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation




    Afternoon Session:

    CLP - New Market Creation: Induction Cooking
        Speaker : Mr. Lewis Soo, Manager, Residential Market
    CLP Power HK Ltd.
    Coca-Cola - Capturing the Health & Wellness Trend in Beverage Category
        Speaker : Ms. Karen So, Marketing Director, Hong Kong & Macau
    Coca-Cola China Limited
    JVC - Redefining the Market - the JVC Approach to Achieve Strategic Breakthrough
        Speaker : Mr. Andre' Lau, General Manager
    Shun Hing JVC Ltd.


    WHY???
    Situation is that I don't speak Cantonese so they've offered me a free place for a Cantonese-speaking friend who could be my 'buddy' and help me understand a little bit of what's going on :-) Don't worry, I'm not expecting simultaneous translation!! It would just be great to meet another Marketer and to talk to you about the content of the presentations and network.

    Cheers,
    Meerkat
