FT Leadership conference: Thanks for your support!

Recently, thanks to their participation in our 12th Annual Furniture Today Leadership Conference, I got to meet many of the great people associated with the International Famous Furniture Fair, which many of us refer to as the 3F show.

I want to personally thank everyone from the group for making the trip from China to attend our Leadership Conference!  Specifically, thanks go to  Jason Chen – Secretary General, Dongguan International Trade Enterprises Assn., Fang Hui, Secretary General, International Famous Furniture Fair, Dongguan, Charley Wang – Director of International Relations at the International Famous Furniture Fair, Dongguan, Helen Tu – Rong Feng Furniture, Dongguan, David Wu, General Manager, Dongguan City Yang Chen Furniture, Zeng Xuhui, President and Managing Director, Yongxin Industrial Holdings Ltd., Michael Peng, CEO, Yongxin Industrial Holdings Ltd., Fu Shuang Cheng, Asia-Pacific Media Group and David Wang, Business Manager, Hong Kong Kin Feng Furniture Co., for being such gracious hosts and sponsors of the wonderful cocktail party and dinner that we all enjoyed the first evening of the conference.

All of us at Furniture Today enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you. I learned quite bit about the 3F show and about the Dongguan Famous Furniture Association. Since it was founded in June of 1999, it has enjoyed steady growth and now numbers 262 members that include leading furniture manufacturers, designers and associates.

Again, to all my new friends at 3F, thank you for your participation and support. We hope to see you back at next year’s Leadership Conference!

I also want to extend special thanks to our friends from the Singapore Mozaic, a collection of successful Singapore furniture companies that saw fit to help sponsor and attend this year’s conference.

My thanks to Dyanne Sim,  Executive Marketing Communications Singapore Furniture Inds. Council, Ashley Han Jie Hui, Account Manager, Lifestyle Division Corporate Group, International Enterprise Singapore and Kristi Shalla, Market Development Executive, International Enterprise Singapore

Continued good things to each of you in the coming year!
