 Next Friday there will be the eleventh edition of Shipbrokers and Shipagents Dinner, the event conceived and organized by the Youth Group Assagenti from the same Association of Maritime Agents and Brokers Genoa (Assagenti). A biennial event, which continues to grow and to which 2,500 guests attended this year, representing nearly 1,100 companies from 39 countries.
- This year's event, with about 200 people more than in 2009, will record a new record attendance, and as two years ago, Jean Nouvel, will be held at the pavilion of the Fair of Genoa. "The location - said this morning the president of the Young Assagenti, Alberto Banchero - has remained unchanged since 2009, but given the growing size, this year will deal with most of the upper floor of the pavilion Jean Nouvel.The formula has been confirmed, the traditional dinner session was replaced with a huge cocktail followed by dinner served buffet style, but in return we will be meeting places for each company. "
- Also this year the evening, which will start at 19.30, will end with a fireworks display, "is a gift - Banchero said - that in 2009 we wanted to do both our guests and the city. The fireworks will be shot in front of the marina of the Fair and will be visible from all over Genoa. To emphasize that this is an event that involves the whole city as a whole. "
- The appointment is reserved for member companies and their guests, but - said the president of Assagenti, John Cerruti - the involvement of the city is still high: this year the hotels are saturated and more locations are committed to Genoa events, organized by individual companies during the entire week of dinners. "We estimate - he explained - that the economic return of this event is around two million euros. In addition to hotels and restaurants, we try to "spoil" our guests taking them shopping and to visit the historic homes of our city. "
- The number of participants, the volume of business and the interest aroused by the event, and - added the Secretary of Assagenti Massimo Moscatelli - the significant support provided this year by as many as 64 corporate sponsors, are all elements that satisfy organizers, but they will be even more ambitious goal: to introduce the Dinner Genoa 3-4 in the circuit of annual global meetings of the shipping sector. For this reason - he anticipated Cerruti - The Youth Group is considering the possibility of combining the Dinner, perhaps as early as next year, an exhibition of Shipping that contributes to further consolidate the role of Genoa as maritime capital. To realize this purpose the association of shipping agents and ask for the support of local institutions and the Port Authority of Genoa Fair, it occurred this morning at the presentation of the Dinner, held at the Genoa Port Center at the Old Port, with Managing Director Beppe De Simone.
- For his part the president of the Port Authority of Genoa, Luigi Merlo, said he hoped that the trade fair company Genovese pushes more and more his own vocation to the sea and the maritime economy, the sector - said - that is in danger of being self-referential, but that points to increasingly open up to other economic and social realities and that - said - can seize new opportunities such as work fit for the reorganization of the information system of the Italian economy than the markets which became necessary following the abolition of ' National Institute for Foreign Trade (ICE) established by Law No 111 of 15 July.
