Dear Members,

The 35th Anniversary Symposium attracted more than 100 participants on 26 April 2008 in City University's Jockey Club Environmental Building. The lecture hall was decorated with IPSHK banners and the setting was appropriate and respectable. The success of the symposium was the result of the endeavor of the Council. A special supplement was posted on 25 April 2008 in Ming Pao to mark the memorable IPSHK 35th Anniversary.

For those who had not got the chance to listen to the informative yet interesting talk delivered by Mr. Vincent Wong, Former Joint Managing Director of Kerry Logistics, Ms. Eliza Lau, Director of City Super and Professor John Liu, Head of Logistics & Maritime Department of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, please log on IPSHK website for reference of some photos and PowerPoint Presentations.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation for the support of the speakers and sponsors and last but not least the members' active participation. Without your continuous support we would not be successful.

See you all again in the next seminar.

With best regards,
