When should I arrive at the event?

We encourage all our speakers to attend as much of the conference as possible. Many of our delegates will have seen your name on the brochure and will want to meet you. If, however, this is not possible, we recommend that you arrive at least an hour before your talk, and preferably during a break in the programme. This will allow you to run through your slides with our AV technician.

How do I register on the day?

Speakers have their own separate registration. Your badge will be a different colour to those of the delegates. When you arrive, please tell the registration desk that you are a speaker and they will direct you to the speaker registration area.

How is the programme structured?

You will be asked to speak from a lectern on the stage in the conference hall. There is a microphone on the podium, but if you like to walk around the stage during your presentation, please let us know and we will provide you with a lapel microphone. If you are a panelist, you will be seated on a sofa on the stage throughout your session and you will be using a hand-held microphone. Audience Q&A is held at the end of each session, except during panels when moderators tend to keep things more interactive throughout.

Last minute changes will be communicated as soon as they are known, and you will be informed immediately of any changes that affect your talk time.

What is your accommodation and flights policy?

Speakers are expected to book their own travel and accommodation. QB I.A.C is not liable for associated costs.

What is the dress code?

The dress code at all our events is business/casual. Speakers often choose smart business attire, but we leave that up to the individual to decide.

When will I meet the chairmen /moderators /panel members?

Chairmen will be provided with a chairman’s pack before the event, which will contain important notes and biographies of each speaker. The conference producer will introduce speakers to the chairman as they arrive. Panellists and panel moderators will have been involved in a pre-event conference call and will be given a designated time and place to meet before their session commences.

When can I run through my presentation?

Speakers are encouraged to arrive at the venue at least an hour before their presentation is due to start. You will be given the opportunity to run through your slides in the break before your talk (e.g. morning break / lunch break).

Manulife Financial is one of only two publicly traded life insurance companies with ‘AAA’ rated insurance subsidiaries, the highest level among 21 rating categories at Standard & Poor’s.

Manulife Vietnam is the first 100% foreign-owned life insurance company in Vietnam.

First established in Ho Chi Minh City in June 1999 as a joint venture between Manulife Financial (60%) and one of the biggest investors in Vietnam, Chinfon Global Corporation (Taiwan)(40%); majority-owned and controlled by Manulife Financial.

In January 2001, Manulife Financial purchased the shares of Chinfon-Manulife from its joint venture partner - Chinfon Global Corporation - increasing Manulife's interest in its Vietnam operations to 100%; the company was renamed Manulife (Vietnam) Limited; at the same time, the capital invested in Manulife Vietnam was increased to US$10 million from US$5 million.

In April 2001, Manulife Vietnam was one of the first life insurance companies to launch a public website to provide customers access to Manulife product and service updates.

In April 2002, Manulife Vietnam launched ManuTouch, the Vietnam life insurance industry's first-ever internal website for agents.

In July 2002, Manulife Vietnam became the first company in Vietnam to introduce the filing management software, Auto Scanning, to improve management systems and access of policyholder information.

In March 2003, Manulife Vietnam became the first life insurance company to declare a profit after only three years of operation, marking a significant industry milestone in Vietnam.

For the year 2004, total premiums and deposits increased by 14 per cent and total assets under management increased 94 per cent, compared to the year earlier.

In June 2004, to provide customers with convenient premium payment facilities, Manulife Vietnam in cooperation with EAB bank launched the Manulife-EAB co-branded card for loyal Manulife policyholders.

In October 2004, Manulife Vietnam was a pioneer in launching a Customer Charter, a written commitment to help customers fully understand their basic rights and obligations when they enter into an agreement to purchase a policy.

In October 2005, Manulife Vietnam launched Phuc An for Kids. This comprehensive plan will ensure the rising education cost would be taken care of - while not disrupted by any unplanned events.

In April 2006, Manulife Vietnam received the prestigious “Most Recognized Brand” award by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry & AC Nielsen Research Co. This has affirmed the company’s reputation and enhanced its brand image in the local market.

In August 2006, Manulife Vietnam was proudly recognized by the Vietnam Association for Education Development and the Vietnam Association of Psychological – Educational Science for its significant contribution over the years to improving educational development for the younger generation in Vietnam. The prestigious award ceremony took place at the Legend Hotel, with awards presented by the honourable Mr. Nguyen Manh Cam, ex. Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of Education Development Association and Professor Pham Tat Dong, Vice-Chairman of the Psychological-Education Science Association, and other highranking officers in the sector.
