On Thursday 10th December, South Australia hosted the ABCC Christmas Drinks at Maxim’s Wine Bar, Norwood. Around 40 people attended from various industry sectors including education, resources, agribusiness, ITC, engineering, sports, as well as government and business organisations.
Sponsored by Study Adelaide, the event provided an excellent opportunity for people to informally network and discuss emerging opportunities between Australia and Brazil. Guests stayed on afterwards to enjoy live chorinho music and to continue networking while mingling with local Brazilians.
According to early feedback, the event was enjoyed by all. The SA ABCC is planning events for 2010 in cooperation with industry groups and government to raise further awareness about trade and investment prospects.
