Preparations on the upcoming offline event are in full swing (with a slight pause for Chuseok) and I've set up this discussion to keep the membership informed about progress and to answer questions.

The main organizers are KBC Event Organizer
William Sisson and SGBC Senior Consultant
Youngmi Cho. They are being supported by KBC PR Administrator
Pilar Perez and business coach Sharon Noh. My extra special thanks to the team for their excellent job!
The event is scheduled for October 15, 6-10pm at Mins Club in Insadong. It's a fantastic venue. See the photos here or visit the website to see for yourself:

Our goal for the event is to create a relaxed and social atmosphere where people can meet and greet each other without the pressures of a strict agenda. However, we will recognize our sponsors and give dignitaries the opportunity to greet the attendees with some short remarks. Other important announcements might also be included.
In order to achieve our goal of a true international event, invitations have been extended to representatives from chambers of commerce, embassies and executive level business leaders in Korea. We are also open to any person, Korean or foreigner that shows an interest in attending the event.
So far, we're about half-way to our sponsorship goal, which will help us keep the event costs low at what will be quite an exclusive location with great food and Korean traditional music.
We are still looking for 3-4 more corporate or organizational sponsors to donate to the event and get their names out in front of the international business community in Korea. If your organization would be interested in this opportunity, please contact the event organizers. More information is included in the sponsorship marketing flyers which can be downloaded at the following links: English version, Korean version.
