| Several officers of the Association recently visited the ATO to discuss the results of the December trade show in Hangzhou, in which the ATO and five cooperators participated. In 2007, the Expo will be moved to early September, prior to the Chinese fall festival and western holidays. ATO expressed interest in increasing its participation to include a Western food cooking competition and bringing a bakery seminar and training program to the Expo. ATO also raised the possibility of the Association joining the ATO HRI Advisory Group forming later this year. The Association is enthusiastic about working on these projects. Both groups agreed to begin planning after the Chinese New Year. |
