P.S. To all members if you haven’t already sent your vote for next years various conference venue proposals please email Robert now.

Hi All  I’m not sure if I made it very clear in my email 27th October that I would like you all to comment on the 3 venues suggested by the committee i.e. Antalya- Turkey, Dubai UAE (if the war in Iran ends soon), Phuket – Thailand. I also asked for any other venue suggestions.

So to clarify the above can you please let me have your comments on above and any other venue suggestions as soon as possible.  I have so far received approx. 12 replies and need to hear from all of you.

If you have already replied there is no need to reply again.

Please also note that for 2027 we want to bring forward the annual conference to a date later in September.

Many thanks

Best regards

Robert

To all members, firstly I want to tell you we have just finished our 22st annual ASA Conference/meeting in Shenzhen, and by all accounts from the feed back from those participating it was a very enjoyable and successful meeting, and I need to make a special mention of our host member Eastrong International for a fantastic Gala Dinner at a very special “Traditional Dinner & Chinese Dance show”. It was spectacular and very entertaining.

The  Committee suggested the date for next years conference/meeting should be brought forward a bit to 3rd or 4th week in September 2027. This was advised to all participating members in Shenzhen meeting and it was agreed by the majority present.

Re Venue for 2027, I should like to update you on the various main selections proposed by the Committee and put to the members as the Shenzhen Conference. These are Antalya- Turkey, Dubai UAE (if the war in Iran ends soon), Phuket – Thailand.

We also received a few other recommendations form members during conference including Philippines, & Morocco. We want to go to a country that does not operate such strict controls on Visa as we recently had with Shenzhen ,China.  We are open to any other suggestions you may like to put forward, but these must be received fairly quickly, therefore can you let me have your suggestions before the end of November.  Please also take into account costs as many countries the cost of hotels and food/drinks can be very expensive.

Once I have received all recommendations I will discuss these with the committee and narrow this down to say 3 choices and then circulate these to you to vote on so we can come to a decision by early in January, as the sooner we can finalise this and find a suitable hotel at the chosen venue the better. The target would be be able to open up the booking system by early March.

Thank you for your time and any suggestions on the above.

Many thanks
