We had delegates from Hong Kong, The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, the atmosphere was one of excitement to develop and learn, but just as importantly to network with their peers, friendships where forged and we might even have paired up two of the delegates romantically!!"
