Dell SADMG Partners Conference 2007 - Bali, Indonesia

Between 21 and 25 May, I was on site to kick off the Dell SADMG Partners Conference held at Laguna Resort & Spa at Nusa Dua, Bali. I arrived 12.15pm to start my sleepless nights.

There were many pleasant surprises that awaited me. To begin with, the balinese team I had the priviledge of working with was amazingly efficient! Thanks to you Harry, Renato, Shary, Phina and Yetty. I would also like to give special thanks to all the friends & staff of Laguna Resort & Spa for being the most accommodating bunch of frontliners! You guys were great! Especially Eka and Sandra!

On 21 May, the team and I were busy sorting out the final details of delegate arrivals. We were expecting delegates/Dell partners & distributors from all over the Region on 22 May. Besides that, we were trying to resolve the issue of our shipment of collaterals coming in from Singapore as they were held back at the customs. I did a recee of the hotel and was pleasantly surprised that the meeting rooms were all set-up and ready to go. They were in the process of completing the backdrop to be used for the conference in the main ballroom. At about 6.30pm, we headed to Jimbaran Bay where dinner will be held on 23 May. Jimbaran Bay is a stretch of beach with over 100 restaurants! Harry and I headed to Ganesha Pudak Cafe and after checking out the place, discussing on where to place the banners and on how to deco the place for an impactful evening, we settled for some seafood dinner. The food especially the fish were so fresh and yummy!

I shall not bore you with details of the event. As you can already tell, I can be rather long-winded! hahaha...so instead, I am gonna post a few pictures for your viewing pleasure :) My only regret in Bali was not being able to soak-up the balinese flavor as it was all work :( I am looking forward to going back there for a holiday and besides a successful event this time round, I also made some great friends that made this event more meaningful.
