" Thank you for a good event! The venue was good, easily accessible and central in Zurich. Unfortunately, because of the toke in London, I missed the morning presentations. I went to the presentations in the afternoon, they were less relevant to what my firm does, but the quality was good I think."

" Thank you very much for the invitation to the Shorex event in Zurich last week. I really enjoyed the event. I spent the whole day at the event and made some valuable contacts. I hope to do business with some of my new contacts in the future. I walked around the exhibition and found one interesting product. For me, the presentation from the gentleman representing Carmignac Investissement stood out, but altogether the presentations were very good and very informative. I took some new thoughts back home. I have no suggestions for next year, but would be very happy to have the opportunity again to join the event."
Gerald Hespelt ( Managing Director , HSA Horwath GmbH )
" Thank you very much for the event. Networking was good with a mixed audience."
André Bachmann ( Senior Vice President , 3A SA - Alternative Asset Advisors SA )
" Thank you again for your invitation to the event. It was the first Forex event I attended and it met my expectations. 1) The venue was fine and conveniently located. 2) The presentations were good though of unequal levels. The Didier Saint-Georges presentation was outstanding both in terms of form and of content. It was my favourite presentation alongside the one Eily Ong gave on gold. I appreciated very much the Benno Bründler presentatin as it was very focused, self explanatory and punchy. Also on top of my agenda were the Anders Faergemann and Daniel Stillhart presentations. I also thought the two panel discussions (on financial centres and on international financial centres, were quite informative. 3) The registration procedure and the people at the Welcome desk were very friendly and helpful."
Yacine Semichi ( Financial Analyst , Attaction )
" Thanks again for having me invited to the informative event in Zuerich. Please find below my answers to your questions: 1) How did you like the venue? Very good. If compared to Geneva I liked Geneva slightly more, which is pretty obvious (2 days, bigger exhibition etc) 2) What did you think of the quality of presentations? Any presentations stood out? Anders Faergemann Daniel Stillhart Unfortunately, missed all commodity & gold presentations in the afternoon. 3) Have you found the registration procedure user friendly? Excellent service - nothing which you could do better."
Walter Bareiss ( Investment Consultant , Frontier Market Invest Consulting )
" Very well organized, the few sessions I could attend were very interesting."
Winfried Weigel ( Director , Cleantech Capital )
" I attended your Forum during its entire length, a sign of my interest! Registration procedure was OK. I prefer Q&A sessions at the end of presentations instead of having them in the course of the presentations. During the presentation, questions disrupt the logical flow and they often receive an answer a few slides later on. My favorite presentations were the Carmignac presentation on Global Markets, the Convertibles presentation (a forgotten asset class), the technical charts from Daniel Stillhart, and the Gold presentations by Steffen Orben, Eily Ong and James Withall. Walking around, I found the World Gold Council desk quite interesting. WGC will invite me to their next presentation in Zurich, we will keep in touch. Speakers were experienced professionals from the Investment Research or Portfolio Management side. I enjoyed the absence of hard selling speeches by young customer relationship representatives - often the case with Finance presentations here in Zurich. I congratulate you for having succeeded in putting such a high level of speakers together. As a suggestion, I would add a presentation on stock markets for the next time, especially the developed stock markets. They do not deserve the bad feeling of current investors, in my opinion."
Jean-Louis Hanselmann ( MBA, PhD , Investment committee member of the Swiss Pension Funds of Zurich Financial Services, Zurich )
" Thank you for the info regarding the presentations. Feedback as follows - The venue was very good. The presentations were of a high quality. I liked the man from Cyprus. The registration procedure was user-friendly. I spent 8 (eight) hours at the event. I walked around the exhibitions and looked at what was being offered. It was interesting to see the rep from Asia. I have made various contacts and hope to do some business with them in future."
Walter Snyder ( Managing Director , WWS Swiss Financial Consulting AG )
" The SHOREX conference in Geneva gave us the opportunity, to once again, demonstrate our commitment to the Swiss market. Attendees of the seminar welcomed the chance to discuss their tax, structuring and fund requirements with our knowledgeable and professional staff."
Justin Scott ( Tax Director , SMP Partners )
" Thank you for your invitation to attend this event. Speaking about conference, I shall say it was a great choice of venue, well organized and some presentations got my attention. I cannot speak about all spectrum of presentations as I do not deal with them all directly, but some presentations as the one about Tax planning (Cyprus Structures in International Tax Planning) was interesting and we might get in contact with these companies as some products and ideas seem to be good and useful. I spend around 7 hours, and the time was passing pretty fast. Registration Procedure was very user friendly and it was easy to work and communicate with. Especially Laura was very friendly and welcoming! "
Oskars Baumanis ( Client Relationship Manager , AP Anlage & Privatbank AG )
" I thought that the forum was very well organised and I came away with a lot of information for my clients."
Kuldeep Singh ( Singh Asset Management )
