Our Team
Fully Escorted by CMEatSEA Team
Each conference is facilitated by a dedicated CMEatSEA team. Our goal is to take a group of individuals who have dedicated their lives to looking after others and for that time, turn it upside down and take care of them. From lavish cocktail parties, private shore adventures, daily colour newsletter, nightly pillow gifts, to signature events like lunch on the Great Wall of China, each CMEatSEA conference is a grand adventure where every detail is taken care of. This dedication to quality means we can only produce a handful of events each year, but each one is guaranteed to be truly extraordinary. We invite you to experience the difference quality makes.
