The British Business Association of Macao (BBAM), the French Macau Chamber of Commerce (FMCC), the Irish Chamber of Commerce and CanCham Macao co-hosted the festivities.

Many thanks to the following sponsors who donated some wonderful prizes for the lucky draw: Cuppa Coffee, Four Seasons Hotel, Vintages & Chateaux Fine Wines, Liege, Grand Lapa Macau, Warrior Fitness, Asiul and Nata Artisan Bakery.
