“ I attended the TradeTech Asia Conference in Singapore (November 2011) as a first timer at a WBR event. I was impressed at the way the event was hosted and organised, with a great agenda, most of the important players in attendance, and a professional feel from the outset. Its often that case at these events that speakers and panellists use the opportunity to sell rather than inform, but every session I attended was informative with a minimum of firm-specific agenda-pushing, but plenty of thought provoking discussion about the industry“
