In this issue of Payload Asia, we are very pleased to bring you coverage of the Payload
Asia Conference and Awards 2017, which successfully concluded in mid-October. After
months of preparation, the 6th instalment of the event saw the nominations, judging and
voting result in the awards ceremony – a perfect compliment to an evening of good food, wine,
introductions and remarkable conversations.

A big thank you to everyone who attended, the companies that participated and supported
the event, the judges who took the time to determine the Industry Choice winners and to all
those who voted and played a part in determining the Customer Choice winners.

As with previous years, the awards program was preceded by a very enlightening two-day
conference, where presenters, panellists and moderators shared their experience, expertise and
knowledge on the diverse industry topics discussed during the roundtables. A special thank
you to all of our sponsors, participants and delegates for attending, taking part and adding to
the great atmosphere.

As has become the norm, this issues supplement has complete coverage of the entire event,
giving an overview complete with pictures of the activities that took place over the two days.
Th is is where it all started…
