IGP Asia-Pacific
International Employee Benefits Seminar
The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong
September 8, 2011

IGP and our Network Partners in the Asia-Pacific region were pleased to welcome a record number of employee benefits professionals from the world's leading multinational companies and their advisors who joined us for this highly regarded and informative event, held at the newly opened Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Hong Kong.

After registration and coffee, the Seminar was officially opened by Peter de Vries, head of the IGP Network. Peter welcomed the attendees and gave an engaging presentation on how subsidiaries can benefit from participating in their parent company's IGP pool.

After the opening session, each registrant was able to attend at least five presentations given by our Network Partners. Each presentation covered the social security program and customary private employee benefits practice in the Network Partner's respective country. Depending on the country's typical benefits practice, these presentations included plan design, funding requirements, mandatory benefits and legislative updates, as well as a discussion of recent trends and new products.

These sessions provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to quickly acquire valuable information about issues related to employee benefits in the countries of their choice - in a single day! Ample time was also allowed for participants to ask specific questions and discuss solutions. Feedback provided by attendees for each session was overwhelmingly positive.

One of the many highlights of the day was the luncheon served in a stunning venue located on the 118th level of the hotel. The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is the world's tallest hotel, and guests had a delightful lunch while enjoying a magnificent panoramic view of the harbour and surrounding hills. The lunch, as well as the coffee breaks, etc., provided many opportunities for participants to network and discuss topics of mutual interest with both the Network Partners and other attendees.

Based on post-seminar feedback, attendees had a very productive day, making this one of our "best ever" IGP Asia-Pacific Seminars!
