I guess being too busy to write is a good excuse but if I don’t inform my partners, colleagues and friends, what’s the use…?
Anyhow, the first six months of 2009 at DRM were almost purely logistical with the management of two major international conferences, the Kofi Annan Foundation‘s first International conference and the Global Humanitarian Forum‘s eponym event and centerpiece, the Forum 2009.
Things look a little different in the second part in that I will try to focus on more academic projects, such as boosting our Academie Sans Frontières – Borderless Academy, contributing to a project I’ve been supporting from Day One, Benjamin Barber’s Interdependence Day which will take place in Istanbul, organizing incentive seminars with my Croatian Partners in Paris and Brussels and of course devoting a larger part to my own research and teaching, including delivering a paper at the First International Conference on Mediterranean Languages to take place in Cyprus in October.
However, logistics are a core of DRM’s very specific segment of the meeting market, allying in a unique way academic expertise and international meetings management. We will thus also be in charge of the Congrès International de la Restauration, a prestigious congress gathering restaurant owners and related services, Place is Geneva, specific venue yet undetermined due to a recent date change! We are now looking at mid-end of March!
Following a recent experience at the Forum 2009, I also decided to include in DRM’s services the provision of a network of outstanding reporters for International Meetings. Check our Services Page for more information and of course, as usual, don’t hesitate to contact me!
Regarding my personal civil involvement, let me simply mention a few highlights, Paddle For Cancer 2009 with the American International Club in Geneva on September 6th, UIA General Assembly, from 12 to 14th November and of course APE Ferney which I serve devotedly as Secretary for too many years!
I cannot close this very brief newsletter without point out some of my partners who have been particularly involved in my recent activities, starting with my webmaster, Laurence Attouz, who is a precious and devoted consultant on travels and so many other logistical items, Milan Cupic, my Croatian Partner, in charge of the Italian, Slovenian and Eastern European Market, and of course my dear Jean-François Dor whose friendly advice I always consult with great pleasure!
A warm regards to our ever expanding network!
Have a pleasant Fall or Spring depending on your Hemisphere! … and…one last thing: DRM is back into DRM’s HQ and no longer with clients’ outside offices…here’s the view!
