Global Business Events Company GDS International to Open Miami Office in January 2012

BRISTOL, England, November 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Spencer Green, chairman of global business events company GDS International, has announced the January opening of a new office in Miami, with the creation of 75 jobs by December 2012.

Global business events company GDS International (http://www.gdsinternational.com) is expanding in North- and Latin America with the opening of a new office in Miami's major financial district to complement its existing offices in Bristol and Cardiff (U.K.), New York (U.S.) and Sydney (Australia).

The office will officially open for business on January 9^th, 2012.

GDS International's chairman, Spencer Green, has big plans for the office: "Two years ago we opened an office in Sydney, Australia with a small, dedicated team managing a small number of GDS' senior executive summit products.

"Within a year that office had expanded significantly, taking on more staff, opening more products and offering excellent career opportunities for everyone in Sydney, and travel opportunities for everyone in the company.

"That is the model we are looking to replicate in Miami. We know the market is there and we know the talent pool in Miami is strong enough."
