Feedback from last year's conference attendees
Andrew Outhwaite - Managing Director, For Blue
"Without Cockburn's leadership there is no way we could have gained the exposure, planned travel, met the key people nor had the confidence to progress the initiatives that we have. It has been foundational and just slightly ahead of the State Government's approach. The connections have proven 'real', matching technical expertise in the Cockburn region with markets and opportunities in Indonesia. While relationships are key and will take a long time to develop, this has been an incredible kick-start".
Steve Hall - General Manager, The Electrical & Communications Association WA Inc
"Entering the international trade market can be daunting, but the City of Cockburn’s Digital Exchange Forum demystified doing business in SE Asia. The opportunity to meet not only business leaders, but also key government officials, such as the Consul General, really made the forum worthwhile. Their insights and positive reinforcement of the opportunities and commitment to working together was particularly a stand out. Also, meeting with like minded businesses, and hearing their journeys, provided valuable intelligence on how we could better approach entering the market. This included understanding IP protection and cultural awareness in doing business".
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting gathering of global trade and opportunities.
