Our EXPORT EXPERTISE NETWORKING FUNCTION
at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Sandton Johannesburg, on Tuesday 29 January 2002, attracted an interesting cross section of guests.
From seasoned export gurus - to entrepreneurs  keen to "enter" into the export field.

A number of "service providers" expressed their satisfaction with the "making of new contacts" and establishing "potential" new business.

Our guest speakers, added immense value.

A comment received from a potential exporter:

"I had no idea these services were available!
Can't wait to get cracking! - Thank you!"

**********************************

We would once again like to express our gratitude to our principle sponsor ESKOM ENTERPRISES, to our regular sponsor Hewlett-Packard Africa and our "part sponsor" The African Extension for their contributions.

**** COMMENTS RECEIVED ****

Hi,
just a quick note of thanks for your hospitality and the opportunity
to experience one of your functions. I really had a wonderful time
(bar the slight headache this morning!).
Kind regards,
Stephen

**********************************

I felt it was more of an advertising medium for certain businesses rather than an information sharing session.
I would like to hear more about problem areas experienced by other companies, possible business opportunities etc. Less advertising.
