Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
Last month when it was time to send you the Eye on IPBA, this writer was in Brussels representing the IPBA at the Pre-Congress Seminar and Annual Congress.
Today, this edition comes to you from an airport hotel on the first leg of travel to Chiang Mai and Bangkok for the IPBA Mid-Year Council Meeting and Regional Conference. Due to bad internet connection and bad wine from the hotel kiosk, the introductory message will be short and sweet.
The End.
Just kidding!
There is so much going on at the IPBA that it's hard to keep up! From two successful Regional Conferences last month in Los Angeles and Santiago, we go right into our two-day Regional Conference on Arbitration in Bangkok, followed by the 4th East Asia Forum in Seoul. Later in November, it's on to Brussels. These events would not be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our members in all of those locations, as well as those supporting the events from other locales. Many travel far and wide to be speakers or help support the conferences in other ways; they also help by advertising the events and the IPBA at home and during their travels.
We raise a glass of bad wine from a hotel kiosk to you!

The Scholarship Committee has extended the deadline for applications until Saturday, November 15th! We ask your cooperation in advertising this valuable program to your collegues and business associates, your local bar associations, and anyone else you feel wouldbe a good candidate! Details can be found on the IPBA web site. |

IPBA Leadership Activities
IPBA President Perry Pe has had a busy month! He first attended the Opening of the Legal Year in England and Wales, then went straight to Rome for the IBA Annual Conference.
While at the IBA in Rome, the law firm of Chiomenti kindly hosted a cocktail event to welcome IPBA and delegates from Russia and CIS Countries. Perry is pictured below with Sara Marchetta of Chiomenti to his left, and Audrey Chen, past IPBA JCM for China on his right.
Meanwhile, IPBA Program Coordinator Jose Cochingyan supported the Regional Conference in Santiago, Chile; he's third from the right in the photo below.
Perry will be coming to Tokyo later this month, joining 100 lawyers from France for a conference and lunch. We'll report on that project next month!
