Hi Tom. Insha here! So sorry I had to leave today without even saying good bye. Thought I’ll drop you a message. Firstly, really appreciate and admire the amount of time, effort you take with each individual at the conference, much appreciated. Secondly you have done an amazing job at curating and organizing the event. It was really more fun than work. I really had a good time.

It was our first conference, but I must say that Mr. Tom and his crew is very professional and helpful. Their organization and arrangements were awesome, where I never experienced on other networks. There are real agents, which are keen to build mutual cooperation. I had some business at the time I was having 1 on 1. That is what you expect, having real business and having real fun. It was our first time, but will not be the last. Looking forward for next conference.

Dear Tom/Riti,
We hope and trust you have had or are having a safe and pleasant trip home to beautiful Spain. We also wanted to send a brief note of thanks for the warm welcome and hospitality during our attendance of the recently concluded Conference. We had an enjoyable time and equally important feel as though there are some genuine business opportunities. This was what we are looking for. In our experience, shipping is still about people and relationships through the good times as well as the challenging times. We value friendships dearly and hope to have made even a few lasting ones. We wish to thank you both as well as Tequilia Jonathan for everything. We also hope to see you again in the near term. Take care and once again thank you.

Thank you Tom for putting on such a great conference;
it was good to see everyone and catch up with friends and develop some new business. Wednesday’s activities were a lot of fun and our team winning made the event that much better. Wednesday’s Gala dinner and out drinking afterwards was a lot of fun. But as I had a 10:30 am flight back to the states the next morning, I should have called it a night a little earlier. Granted I have said that to myself many times in the past and still have not learned my lesson. Upon arriving back at the hotel at 5:00 am from a full night of drinking, I requested the front desk give me a wake up call at 6:30 so I could pack and be downstairs for my 7:30 taxi to the airport. I’m sure you can guess what happened, I slept through the alarm and wake up call. I woke up at 8:30 in a state of panic. Heart racing, I packed my bags and was downstairs in the lobby in a matter of 5 minutes. Jumped into a taxi and headed to the airport to try and catch my flight back home. Praying that the traffic is nothing like Chicago traffic, I headed to the airport and tried to come up with a Plan B incase I missed the flight. It’s not like I had to get back for a meeting or work thing, I needed to get back to see the Cubs play in the World Series. Well, I made it to the airport in record time and fortunately having Priority status I was able to go to the front of the line and was able to check in for my flight. I made it to the gate 5 minutes before they starting boarding. All’s well that ends well and it was a great conference and let’s make sure we all follow up and develop on sales to grow our businesses.

What a blast! Allow me to congratulate you on putting together another successful conference. It was truly a pleasure to see the old gang and meet new friends and business partners. The team-building activity was a success regardless of final standings – we all got to know each other a little better as the day progressed – lots of fun for sure. Once again, good job and great seeing you after all this time.
Warm regards, Douglas

Hi Tom,
It was a great pleasure to see you at conference and a joy to know you too. For your information; I’m member of other network; but what is different in yours ; is that you’re like a big family, one knows the other. and this is especially what I seek in the network. is to have the team spirit and business minds. I shall attend every time you organize a conference, for a moment of sharing and joy. So, wish to all members the glory and happiness! See you soon Tom,
