    We started back in 2009 in the midst of the Global Financial Crisis. Some said we were crazy, but we saw it as a challenge.Starting with a handful of career-focused over-achievers we’ve grown to a team of 70+ employees with a host of successful conferences spanning the Asia Pacific region.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.
