- Janet Silvera/ Senior Gleaner Writer Janet.silvera@gleanerjm.com

CHRISTOPHE­R ISSA and his Spanish Court Hotel team opened up their fabulous Cabana Pool area last Friday night to the Montego Bay-based Business Process Industry Associatio­n of Jamaica (BPIAJ) to host its first Out source 2 Jamaica cocktail reception in St Andrew.

The event was staged in collaborat­ion with a number of Out Source 2 Jamaica’ s partners, including C&W Business, AMCHAM, the Port Authority of Jamaica, Itel BPO, and Jamaica Prootions Corporatio­n (JAMPRO).

Hosted by BPIAJ President Gloria Henry, the strategic thinker, renowned for moving mountains in the second city, spoke of the importance of embarking on the associatio­n’s first high-level conference.

“We will be hosting the first Out source 2 Jamaica Symposium & Expo in April from the 11th to the 13th at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, and this event will be executed during the National Outsourcin­g Week 2018.”

Henry told the gathering of a group of Kingston corporate companies that the event will become the platform to educate and highlight developmen­ts within the sector and the clusters that support it.

She spoke of the national growth agenda and Kingston’s place as a fast- emerging outsourcin­g location for highvalue services.

“This has been borne out with the recent expansion and continued growth of existing operations as well as the new developmen­ts across the Corporate Area and Portmore,” she stated.

Being staged under the theme ‘Innovation through Digital Transforma­tion’, the event ’s strategic partners are Nearshore Americas and Ryan Strategic Advisory.
