IMPORTANT NOTICE - MEETING POSTPONED - FUTURE DATE TO BE DETERMINED


In light of the continuing challenges facing many of our members and their companies or firms as a consequence of the global financial crisis, the leadership of the ABA Business Law Section has made the determination to postpone the upcoming Global Business Law Forum scheduled for Hong Kong, June 10-12, 2009. Registrations to date have been significantly fewer than needed for a viable program. In addition, lingering questions regarding the global spread of the H1N1 flu virus have added to concerns about travel to the Far East.

The Section remains committed to this event and to addressing the vital role that Asia plays in the global economy and the practice of business law. We are working now to reschedule this event to a date either later this year or sometime in 2010. The Forum Planning Committee, program chairs and speakers remain committed to delivering the outstanding programs they have developed, updated to address future developments.

We will announce the new dates for the Forum as soon as they are available. We thank those speakers, participants and sponsors who have already committed to this program. Note that refunds for any fees paid to date will be processed immediately.

We regret that the current economic conditions and concerns over a possible pandemic virus have brought about this postponement, but as noted above, we remain committed to expanding our product and service offerings to Asia and look forward to sponsoring a vibrant and effective Global Business Law Forum in Hong Kong in the near future. Please watch the program website and your e-mail for updates.

Sincerely,

Karl Ege
Chair, ABA Business Law Section
Marsha Simms
Chair, Planning Committee, Global Business Law Forum
