Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of The Thai Life Assurance Association (TLAA) and the 24th Pacific Insurance Conference Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to participate in the 24th PIC scheduled to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 1st – 4th November, 2009, at the magnificent Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers.

Thailand is honored to host the 24th PIC – an outstanding forum for life insurance, retirement savings and wealth management executives from the Asia Pacific region and all over the world - to meet and to present their perspectives on current and future industry concerns and opportunities.  Perhaps the most important example is the current financial crisis, which not only represents extraordinary challenges to financial services executives, but may well represent important opportunities for future business development.  

Hence, the theme of the 24th PIC, “Building a World Class Business in the Asia Pacific Region - Success Strategies for Multinational and Domestic Companies”, could not be more appropriate for international and domestic companies alike.

As you can see from the enclosed list of speakers, an outstanding array of international financial services executives have agreed to share their views and experiences with you in building successful business operations in the rapidly growing and diverse insurance markets in the Asia Pacific region. With their input on their conference topics, you will be able to take home an updated roadmap of your own to further develop future business strategies that are uniquely targeted to your own organisations.

Aside from the opportunities afforded by the conference’s working sessions, you will also have the chance to experience a myriad of Thailand’s tourist and cultural attractions that are exceptional and exotic. From classic sights to fabulous temples and palaces, to natural wonders as diverse as forested mountains and idyllic beaches and islands, from delicious culinary discoveries to fabulous shopping bargains, there is plenty that will leave you with fond memories of Thailand and its warm and welcoming people.

I would like to take this opportunity to assure everyone that the political situation in Thailand is back to normal.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, I would like to welcome you to the 24th PIC. Please join us in November 2009 and we assure you will have a wonderful time in Thailand!

With best wishes,

Sara Lamsam
Conference Chairman, 24th PIC
