Mr. Mohammed Johmani, O2 Network's Managing Director, said that the annual gathering is without a doubt one of the highlights of the professional year, and in 2009 there was much to be celebrated.

“Being all together for a few days of fun and reflection is an important occasion for any company,” comments Mr. Johmani. “Especially in an industry where turnover is high and competition is tough, it’s really important for us to come together to enjoy each other’s company, recognizing the many unique qualities that make us O2.”

Regional exposure has even given O2 Network the opportunity to expand into Hong Kong—a move that will be finalized in 2010.
