KBC Recyclers and Business Networkers?

Don't you love the way Koreans recycle their trash? If that's not environmentally friendly, what is? Check out the trash piles below our apartment building just this mo...

1. Nothing terrible will happen to you...

... if you don't make it out to the one-of-a-kind global business networking event at Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon on October 8. This one's hosted by Gyeonggi Province (yes, the place where business REALLY gets done in Korea) and GAFIC (the folks who represent hundreds of foreign-invested companies in Korea) ...(and KBC, of course.)

Yeah, if you're not there, life will go on pretty much as normal for you... even as the rest of your colleagues and associates who did attend the most global business get-together in Korea in 2011 see their business opportunities multiply and their success in Korea explode!

That's because, in addition to everyone else at Hwaseong on October 8, they'll have met CEOs and executives at dozens of global companies in Korea who don't nromally attend expat-oriented events (Did anybody say job and business opportunities?)

I'll also point out that if you miss today's early-bird deadline, it's not a big deal. It'll only cost W10,000 more tomorrow and we're not going to close the event due to crowding; you'll be able to get in, even at the last minute, because this time around, we've got three entire floors of the Suweon Hwaseong Museum at Hwaseong Fortress, with a dinner buffet catered by a five-start hotel!

But why miss the event? And why pay more than you have to when the early-bird registration is still open?

You've got until midnight tonight (Korean time) to get it done at W10,000; tomorrow, it costs W20,000/head.

Avoid the deep sense of regret you'll suffer is you miss this business extravaganza! Click here to sign up right away!

2. Dr. Leonid Petrov Joins the KBC Experts Corner

I can hardly believe it but another VVIP has agreed to join our KBC Experts Corner this week and he's already answering questions!

It's another busy week ... I've got to find a way to simplify, but not before October 8!

Please invite somebody to join you at the Gyeonggi Global Business Networking Event so we can really make this the biggest, baddest business event ever in Korea...

Thanks!
