A big thank you to all food and beverage companies that participated in the 2nd Asia Food and Beverage Summit organized by Ringier Trade Media Ltd. Thanks for the positive feedback, indeed. It was a delight to see and meet all of 190-plus delegates at this conference held from 7-8 November 2016 in Jakarta, Indonesia, We hope you enjoyed two days of informative presentations, great networking, and bonding. Yes, we agree the traffic situation in Jakarta can be a nightmare especially on rainy days, but hey, it was worth it to listen to the 21 experts, eat great food, make new friends over cocktails, meet potential business partners, and learn from each other -- in cozy JS Luwansa Hotel & Convention Center. We're already excited to plan the next conference, and to make it even better. So, here's hoping to see you again in 2017. Ringier holds successful food & beverage summit in Jakarta
