After an eventful year, we were very pleased to welcome more than 70 guests to our last event in 2019. Together with our Premium Partner Hall & Wilcox, we invited members and friends of the German Chamber to join us in celebrating the achievements of 2019.
Dr Michael Zettinig, Director Events & Governmental Affairs, thanked all guests for attending the event, and for their continuous support of the Chamber network. He gave a glimpse of what 2020 will bring, both for events and partnerships. Oliver Jankow sky, Partner and Head of International, welcomed the guests on behalf of Hall & Wilcox, giving an overview of the services the law practice offers.
Accompanied by beautiful piano music, provided by Joe Burke, the evening was a great opportunity to catch up with new and existing members, drive new business and hear about our member’s company developments over the past year whilst enjoying delicious drinks and canapes in a relaxed atmosphere. To add a bit of sparkle to the celebration, our member Thomas Sabo donated a beautiful unisex watch as a door prize which was won by David Watt from Mia Consulting.
We at the German Chamber hope that everyone enjoyed the evening, and would like to thank everyone in attendance. And of course, a big thank-you to Oliver Jankowsky and Alicia Haesslein for hosting the End of Year Reception at the Hall & Wilcox office in Melbourne.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming events in 2020. There are many exciting functions on the horizon, as we continuously strive for excellence in the services and opportunities that we offer to our member companies. Among many other events, next year we will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the German Reunification, and, without giving too much away, we can already reveal that we will be hosting a Gala Dinner in Melbourne in October to mark the occasion.
For now, we wish you a relaxing holiday season and look forward to creating new events, business opportunities and partnerships for - and with - our members in the New Year!
