Attend as part of the AusNZ mission

Those that have done business in China will be familiar with the term “guanxi” and the concept of “three cups of tea” of stranger to friend to part of the family.

Mission leader Stacey Martin, Founder of Expat Advisors Community, shared her AFF journey from first year overwhelm, second year focus, third year a clear proposition, fourth year holding expat and Significant Investor Visa events and fifth year running the mission.

Leveraging these learnings, this year there will be individual delegate consultations to ensure those that decide to come along will be well prepared. This includes networking tools, clear positioning on what they have to offer and who they would like to meet for the Delegate Booklet and social media profiles.

Following the Sunday evening welcome event and the two day AFF conference, delegates will have the opportunity to showcase their services at the migration and property seminars which are being promoted to local networks and businesses.

A day trip into Shenzhen to see the real China will be followed  by the Family Office Conference back in Hong Kong. There will also be an evening Junk cruise on Hong Kong Harbour.

You can view the current draft itinerary here.

Despite having been to Hong Kong around 50 times, Vincent Lim of Sumo Group still finds the AFF a great forum for gaining up to date knowledge and insights whilst catching up with business partners.

Drew Waters, past CEO of AustCham Hong Kong now back in Australia shared how the local Chamber is there to help Australians looking to do business in Hong Kong, with representative committees including Finance, Legal and Tax providing Thought Leadership and representation.

Who Should Attend

Whether a first time trip and study tour to hear from leading experts on the opportunities in Asia, are ready to do businss and want to build relationships or have an extablised network, there is something for everyone wanting to benefit from the growth in Asia.

Delegates will include services providers across finance, wealth management, legal, accounting, migration and property. Also business and project owners, particularly Agriculture, seeking strategic investment partners at the AFF Deal Flow.

One of the key benefits of attending with a group of like-minded business people is the comradery among the delegates who can position each others businesses.
