This year’s Payload Asia Awards and Conference planning is now in full swing with the Payload office all abuzz in preparations for the big event. This year will again feature a two-day conference event which we started last year due to overwhelming requests for more! The big difference of course will be that we have shifted the event this year to Hong Kong and hope many of you will be able to make it to this annual conference. We’ve got a great lineup of topics and more detailed information can be found on the Conference website (conference.payloadasia.com/topics), along with information on registration.

Do please check it out, we’ve got some great speakers lined up and more by the day and will have speaker details up on the website by the time you are reading this! In the meantime, we would like to encourage everyone to go online and support your favourite company, or business partner in the Customer Choice portion of the Payload Awards 2016. To cast your vote, simply go to the Awards website (awards.payloadasia.com/customer-voting).

At the same time voting on the Industry Choice portion has begun with an esteemed panel of 19 judges making their assessments of the contenders in each category. These senior executives are drawn from across the industry.

This year’s judging panel is comprised of:

I would like to say a very big thank you for all the industry judges who have and will be taking time out of their busy schedules to go through the information submitted on behalf of the competing companies. And from all of us at Payload Asia, the best of luck to all the contestants and we look forward to see who comes out on top at this year’s Gala Dinner in Hong Kong on 29 September.
