643 industry professionals, mostly traders, wholesalers, manufacturers and consultants had registered to follow the online presentations from over 50 countries. Many engaged in Q&A sessions with the five presenters, all being CEO's of global players.

One presentation will be released each week starting with 'State of the Industry' by Dilip Mehta, (The Rosy Blue Group) on Thursday, September 23, 2010.

Attendees and speakers acknowledged that the new concept - a live and interactive broadcast on the internet - was a big success. Vinod Hayagriv, Managing Director of C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons said: "JOC was inspiring. Such online discussions will help to align businesses and increase learned exchanges. I hope we can do this on various focus areas of our industry." An attendee stated: "A great experience for the mass of dealers across the globe without traveling. It was knowledge sharing while saving time and money. Thanks for making the world smaller."
