Many apologies but I was abroad when I received the invitation. I am trying to see if I can combine it within the context of a trip to seeing Asian clients. Although I travel and present at 60+ global conferences, I do not have a Research budget to travel mainly to present at academic institutions.
Over last 3 days, I have sent emails to several sales teams in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia to see if we can make feasible a client trip to South East Asia. Please feel free to call me as I shall be in office all day.
I arrange a Research led European pensions conference bringing together academics, policy makers, regulators, pension fund CEOS/CIOs, fund managers and consultants annually. This annual conference where I do virtually most of the master-minding is on Thursday and I am very busy next 2 days.
