Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
At this very moment, on the other side of the world from the IPBA Secretariat in Tokyo, IPBA members are holding an event in Santiago, Chile. The three-day event, led by Host Committee Chair Rafael Vergara and his team at Carey, with several other host committee members, is now being enjoyed by close to 40 delegates. We envy those who are having a refreshing cocktail at a golf club (and morning golf for those interested: you know how IPBA members love golf!), learning about international treaties and arbitration clauses plus business opportunities at the one-day regional conference, and partaking of world-famous and delicious Chilean wine at a vineyard. We hope to receive some photos of the event soon!
Hmmmmm . . . a nice glass of wine sounds very nice right now. Cheers!
As we've announced previously, the IPBA supports the College of Law with a co-branded LLM program focusing on ASEAN+6. If you'd like to learn more about the College of Law's programs, join their webinar on Wednesday, October 3rd, 1:00PM Kuala Lumpur time (GMT +8 hours). IPBA's very own James Jung, Programme Director, and Raphael Tay, Director, ASEAN+6 Programme, will be leading the webinar. Click on the image at right for details!
Already have an LLM? Pass this on to anyone you feel would be interested!

IPBA President Perry Pe will be traveling to Rome in early October to attend the International Bar Association Annual Conference. While there, Perry and At-Large Council Member for Europe Gerhard Wegen will meet with lawyers from Russia and CIS countries at the Rome office of Chiomenti.
