Reunion 2007

On September 27^th 2007 Export Documentation Solutions hosted an evening of inspiration :

Past students of the Macquarie Community College Import / Export course reunited at the Epping Club for an evening of information swapping between themselves and selected industry experts.

A few ex-students presented their business success stories and gave practical tips to the eager 97 listeners. Everyone was busy taking notes and learning from each others’ experiences.

After an hour and a half of formal presentations, everyone present was tagged with a code signifying their special interest. They could then walk around the room, (with a well deserved drink in their hand,) for a speed meeting with different participants and the flow of valuable business tips kept flowing for another 2 hours.

At the end of the night everyone left the room with their heads buzzing with new ideas and a heart filled with the feeling that “If they have done it, I can do it too!”

The event sponsors, (Powerhouse Logistics, Commonwealth Bank and The Macquarie Business College,) felt very rewarded to have contributed to such a successful event especially as they could make direct contact with people involved specifically in import / export operations.

In the words of the host: “Mission accomplished”.
