Founder and Creative Director – IN-Dulge

We were very happy to join TO THE TABLE Asia 2023 in Kuala Lumpur at the W hotel. Under Justin and Debbie’s supervision, the event was faultless and managed from start to finish with the exact accuracy of a Rolex watch. We do believe it is the most productive seminar of tabletop around the world. We were certainly impressed with the diversity of new suppliers and even more astonished to see the amount of new products that these suppliers had developed after covid. The seminars were inspirational and stimulating, certainly correlated to the current market conditions. We were amazed by the quality of the coffee break and the quality of F&B at the W hotel, moreover during these lunches, dinners and coffee breaks we were able to re-engage with suppliers and delegates and that was brilliant and delightful. Thank you TO THE TABLE team for this productive event.
