Prior to joining, all our members undergo in-depth assessments on financial position, length in operation, and market rank with proven ability and commitment to their business development.
Our Events
Our members meet face-to-face for three days twice a year at our AGM and EGM. Our events enable bilateral meetings to discuss and review operational issues, profit share matters, performance reviews, and business development plans.
In 2020 we successfully hosted CONNECT 2020 bringing together members for bilateral meetings in a virtual setting. Nothing will replace the experience of meeting members in person, nevertheless under the current constraints, the initiative was to provide a forum for members to meet and network across all time zones in a scheduled format.

Next General Meeting
Our 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) takes place from 18th to 21st April at the Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, Nice, France.

CONNECT 2020
Our first virtual meeting took place from 12th to 16th October. More than 100 delegates participated representing 104 countries with more than 640 bilateral meetings during the course of the event.
