Private Events

PASLA and RMA would appreciate your cooperation in refraining from scheduling any other events, such as sightseeing and special tours,during the conference business sessions (0900 – 1600 hrs).  We ask that you please support the sponsors of all of the conference events by recognizing their financial commitment to the particular event (food/beverage cost) and the conference. 

A private event is an invitation-only outing, dinner party, or reception hosted by an organization or group other than PASLA or RMA. Private events are not considered part of the conference program agenda and, as such, should not interfere with the conference program or sponsored events. Please refrain from holding events on Monday evening before 2200 hrs. If your organization is planning an event for Tuesday or Wednesday evening, please plan to start the event for 2000 hrs or later. If your organization is providing transportation to off-site venues, delegates should not be picked up at the hotel until 1930 hrs.

The JW Marriott Hong Kong has excellent restaurants and rooms available for private dinners and meetings, as well as great venues for more casual events. If you would like information on planning a private dinner/event and/or meeting at The JW Marriott Hong Kong please contact Winnie Siu via email at winnie.siu@marriotthotels.com.
