The Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) and Vietnam Business Lawyers Club (VBLC) – Vietnam Bar Federation (VBF) are honoured to invite you to the IPBA Regional Conference on “Investment in APEC Emerging Markets” to be held on 4 November, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam at Sheraton Saigon Hotel.
We sincerely apology that due to the Government’s request to reserve Danang for APEC summit, the Conference has to be relocated to Ho Chi Minh City instead of Danang as planned. However, Ho Chi Minh City – Saigon is the business center of Vietnam, and most of International and Vietnamese law firms present in Ho Chi Minh City. We hope that the relocation will allow us to have a look and feel about an emerging economy in Asia, visit law offices and clients in Vietnam.
The Conference, first time in Vietnam, aimed at strengthening relationship between IPBA members and Vietnamese practitioners and in-house lawyers. On Saturday 4 November 2017, participants will meet and discuss business opportunities and challenges in emerging countries and the role of lawyers in APEC members. The conference will move on to specific booming areas such as arbitration, equitisation, IPO, infrastructure, finance and international trade. For Agenda, please click here.
For those who come on Friday 3 November, VBLC and IPBA Vietnam members will organize welcome receptions in Vietnam.
