After many postponements due to the pandemic, our 1st Annual Conference took place safely from 26 November to 28 November 2021 at Fairmont Hotel in Monte-Carlo, our headquarter.

Fairmont Monte Carlo is a unique luxury hotel and resort located in the heart of Monaco, between the Mediterranean Sea and the legendary Monte-Carlo Casino. The Fairmont in Monaco is one of the most prestigious hotels of the Principality, featuring Nobu restaurant, Nikki Beach rooftop, a Rooftop lounge, 24/24 bistrot, meeting rooms, including the largest one in South Europe, a fitness center, a Spa, a heated pool.

On Friday November 26, our precious hostesses welcomed 77 participants, among attendees and guests, representing 46 countries and then an enchanting 4-course plated dinner and french wine pairing was served at Le Galerie Crystal above the Medirerranean Sea.

On Saturday November 27, our Co-Founder Federico Bartoli took the floor to deliver a welcome speech thanking attendees for coming from long distance and despite the current situation. After greeting our sponsors Falcon International (Canada) and Star Shipping (Pakistan), he made a point of expressing our warm thanks to Octagon Freight Service (Iraq) for being the first attendee registered. Octagon was in fact entitled of 50% cash back for being the first paying conference fee (the cash back has been change in upgrade and extra nights). Federico made no secret of our great pleasure in hosting the OOG First Annual Conference in the Principality of Monaco.

After the speech, we enjoyed exciting and interesting talks from a wide variety of speakers

  • Chiara Zanin, Andrea Ferraro, Angelo Ghiglino, Titan Med
  • Marco Crusafio, Partner in the international law firm HFW
  • Leonardo D’Alessandro, Buasiness Development Director at ACS Air Charter Service
  • Tom Lunabba, Project Director at FREJA Transport & Logistics

During the break we enjoyed tasty french pastries and coffees sponsored by Falcon Int.,

before returning to Grand Prix conference room we joined together for a group photo session in front the hotel at the famous F1 Hairpin Curve.

Unfortunately our last announced speaker Captain Carlo Parodi, NYK Line all of a sudden couldn’t attend and we had 15 minutes and nobody to take the stage. Quickly, Marin Skufka CEO of Liburnia Group handled the situation and gave an excellent presentation turning a challenge into a success and

we can’t thank him enough.

Soon after, at the Saphir 24 Lounge, in an intimate and elegant atmosphere with an incredible view of the open blue sea, the first lunch of the conference with Riviera buffets awaited our participants.

The one-to-one meetings began in the Grand Prix conference room with a sweet break.

The day ended with the Gala Dinner at the farm-to-table restaurant L’Horizon privatized for the event, the best secret place to chill overlooking the Mediterranean sea, with a 360° view over the Principality’s legendary Opera House, Prince’s Palace, and Casino – against a backdrop of the Riviera. The Chef delighted guests’ palates with Découverte menu and regional recipes.

On Sunday November 28, again at the Grand Prix conference room to complete the 584 meetings, with two yummy coffee breaks at Foyer Grand Prix and the lunch in a sunny spot by the large windows overlooking the sea.

We are honored by such participation and grateful for our members’ professionalism, it was an absolute privilege to see our members working together and discuss new business.
