Economist and author, and Rector of Istanbul Topkapı University, Prof. Dr. Emre Alkin, attended as a guest speaker. He shared valuable information with us about the economic situation in Turkey and the world. Both our members and we gained important insights from this conference. It was a pleasant and informative conference. During the event, we met with our members and discussed what we can and should do in the coming period. These types of events are extremely important for fostering camaraderie and for bringing the industry together to evaluate existing problems. We have achieved this. From now on, we will continue these meetings, although perhaps not in this format, but in smaller groups. As ALTİD, we will work together with all our colleagues to make every effort to benefit the sector."
