More than 300 senior industry executives are expected to attend the gala dinner at the Bauhinia Room at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre to witness Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards on 22 November 2007.

Altogether, 16 Awards will be presented to Asian and global supply chain and logistics companies, while two Awards – Supply Chain Manager of the Year and Supply Chain Visionary of the Year - will be presented to individuals.

To ensure an event of the highest standard and integrity, we have developed an airtight process of selection of finalists and winners.

Balloting to select finalists in each category were conducted online and through our weekly e-newsletter. Ballot forms was also be included in the July issue of Supply Chain Asia magazine. All ballots are tracked to ensure that only one vote per individual is cast and to ensure companies cannot vote for themselves. The full process is monitored by an independent auditor.

The five companies that receive the most votes in each category will be named as finalists in the September issue of Supply Chain Asia magazine and will each be asked to submit a 200-word write-up on why they feel they should win the Award for which they have been nominated. Finalists in the category of Project Forwarding will be asked to submit a case study of a challenging project undertaken within that past year.

The submissions from finalists will be presented to a panel of independent judges from the industry who will select final winners in each category. The list of the judges will be published in the September issue of Supply Chain Asia magazine.
