1 Australia Chile: A Partnership for Development 2011 Auscham Business Mission Conference Intercontinental Hotel, Sydney September 6 & 7

2 Unlocking Opportunities A Message from Auscham The Chile Australia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to join us for a two-day conference that aims to highlight the depth of the relationship that exists between Chile and Australia, to identify new opportunities for business and for wider engagement between our two countries, and to facilitate making contact with key decision makers from some of Chile s most successful and internationally-focused companies. After months of planning, we have come to Australia with one of the most important business delegations to have visited these shores in the past 6 years. The delegation comprises senior representatives from government and the private sector, all of whom have come to Australia in search of opportunities and to further the building of even stronger links between our two countries. This conference constitutes one of the primary activities to be undertaken by the delegation and, as such, offers Australian business an excellent opportunity to learn about where Chile is today and which are the best opportunities that it has to offer on a wide range of fronts, as well as to identify worthy allies and potential partners. We hope that you will join us in Sydney. Juan Mackenna President, Auscham Conference Supporters Business Mission Sponsors
