ADASIA MARKS 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN JEJU,
KOREA
The Asian Federation of Advertising Associations (AAFA) held
their biannual conference on the Korean island of Jeju. In his
welcoming remarks to attendees, Mr. Nahm Sang-Jo,
Chairman of the event, explained that Jeju has traditionally
been abundant in three things — wind, rocks and women.
However, Nahm was sure that there had never been so many
advertising people in Jeju at one time since the existence of
the island. AdAsia's theme for 2007 was “Beyond…..,” a word
used as a jumping off point for the future of Asian advertising.
