Welcome

On behalf of the Global Electronics Forum (GEF), I would like to welcome you to the Autumn Newsletter. This publication is designed to keep you up to speed with the latest developments at GEF, and in the electronics industry as a whole.

There is also a very interesting release from IBM outlining the important factors for global procurement professionals over the next coming year.

We welcome all feedback from readers, and if you have information that you think is worthwhile sharing in the newsletter please contact us.

For the second year, GEF will run concurrently with the Global Semiconductor Forum allowing us to provide solutions to the whole electronic supply chain.

This will give attendees a greater opportunity for networking alongside the opportunity to discuss solutions across both areas.

GEF 2009 will include a series of private business development meetings between delegates and suppliers, a comprehensive conference programme for each stream covering keynote presentations and interactive seminars, as well as the opportunity to network with peers and colleagues.

The first day of GEF will encompass the golf tournament, sponsored by Accenture. This tournament will provide the perfect opportunity to meet fellow delegates and network during a round of golf at one of Bangkok's finest golf courses.
