PRESS RELEASE

CORPORATE MINGLE…networking with a purpose


Omar Azan to speak on the future of the Jamaican Economy & Brand Jamaica

Creative Media and Events, creators of WEALTH Magazine and Bar Week, relaunches Corporate Mingle in 2010 with a bang, corporate Jamaica’s premier networking opportunity Friday, February 26, 2010 from 6:00pm -10:00pm at the Fiction Lounge, Market Place on Constant Spring Road.



This staging of the event will be primarily significant due to the topical nature of the proceedings, which will be highlighted by guest speaker, President of the Jamaica Manufacturing Association (JMA), Omar Azan, giving an in-depth look at the state of the Jamaican economy and various ways in which it can be improved.


Mr. Azan is widely recognized as a man who is very passionate and who speaks very frankly about matters impacting the local economy. In December of last year Mr. Azan raised eye-brows when in a Jamaica Observer article, he was noted as saying Jamaica’s involvement with Caricom has done more harm than good to the country. He added that the current Government needs to re-evaluate its membership with the regional umbrella group.

In the same article Mr. Azan was noted as saying, “Sometimes we make decisions based on the possibilities, but what are the realities?”
He added, “In 2008, Jamaica’s trade deficit with Caricom stood at minus US$1.6 billion, need I say more.”

An equally informative presentation will be made by executives from the First Global Bank & First Global Financial Services.

Come network and have cocktails with some of the island's top business personalities, journalists, entertainment insiders. At each staging, a leader in his/her field speaks for 15 minutes, giving you the 'must-knows' of making it to the top of your field.

In this quarters edition of WEALTH MAGAZINE, Jamaican billionaire, Michael Lee Chin explores some of the ways in which he made it to the top, and what he has been doing to ensure sustainability of his wealth.

However, the tried and proven 'image of success' made an interesting point of national importance during his interview with WEALTH magazine.

"Are the all-inclusive the best we can do in terms of tourism in Jamaica? Is our tourism business differentiated from that which exists in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, Barbados and the rest of the Caribbean? Are we playing to our strengths?

The Business of Phylanthrophy- Shaggy Makes A Difference

The third issue of the Wealth Magazine was launched at the 'Shaggy Makes A Difference' show on the lawns of Jamaica House last Saturday night. On the cover of this quarters magazine is Shaggy  for a feature on his philanthropic thrust. Needless to say, the launch of the magazine at the event was just perfect.
