SMX Convention Center • Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines • 23-26 April 2009 United Architects of the Philippines 35TH NATIONAL CONVENTION On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the UAP Convention Exhibits (CONEX) 2009, I am very pleased to welcome you all to the 35th UAP National Convention and its grandest exhibition, the CONEX 2009. As we celebrate the 35th year of this gathering, this year’s CONEX aims to support our friends in the construction industry by developing an appropriate market setting to enhance their sales productivity, open such opportunity to the public with an accommodating place for interaction, renewing contacts with clients, winning new clients, generating market presence, launching products, raising product awareness, sharing information, ascertaining client needs, influencing client decision-making, and finally closing deals. I hope that the synergy arising from this exhibition will energize current activities as well as spur further professional relationship among allies. I hope what has been planned will make the next few days enriching and worthwhile for you. I am looking forward to joining you at some more of the events during the convention and exhibition. Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to the sponsors, exhibitors, donors, delegates, guests and visitors of the conventions and exhibitions, especially to our friends in the construction industry which have enabled the smooth implementation of the events. We look forward to seeing you here at SMX Convention Center. JOENEL C. KHO, uap Director, CONEX 2009 24
