Isicatshulwa esingezantsi sisuka kumbongo othunyelwe kwiqela nguKip Horton, iSicwangciso se-SVP kwi-HPN Global kwaye ishwankathela i-buzz eqhutywa kushishino kunye noqhagamshelwano oluvakalelwa ngabaninzi ngexesha lomboniso:
Ezinye izinto zifuna ukubila kakhulu kwaye ezinye iinyembezi
Kwaye uyazibuza ukuba kutheni uyenzile yonke le minyaka
Kwaye xa iprojekthi yenziwe ekugqibeleni
Ucinga ukuba 'heyi bekumnandi ngokwenene'
Kodwa ihlala isebenza kwaye kulo nyaka bekunjalo
Apho wonke umntu wagqiba ngoncumo ebusweni bakhe
Ukudibana nabahlobo abatsha, ukuwela iindlela kunye nabadala
Ayikokuba zingaphi na izinto ozithengisile
Ihlala ibubudlelwane, yenziwe ngcono kwaye yomelele
Ngokuhamba emgangathweni phakathi kwazo zonke izihlwele
Udiniwe kwaye udiniwe ekupheleni kosuku
Kodwa emazantsi ubungayi kufuna ngenye indlela
I-IMEX yaseMelika ibuyela eMandalay Bay eLas Vegas, ngo-Okthobha 16 - 19, 2023.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The extract below is from a poem sent to the team by Kip Horton, SVP Strategy at HPN Global and sums up the business-driven buzz and connections felt by many during the show.
- A positive sign for the industry's health is that both agency and corporate planner numbers, representing 56% and 20% of hosted buyers respectively, were on a par with last year.
- It's always relationships, made better and strong By walking the floor amongst all the throng You're exhausted and tired at the end of the day But deep down you wouldn't want it any other way .
