It is with joy that I bring you the last newsletter for 2012, and what a year it has been! I'm sure you can agree with me that it's been one helluva roller coaster ride. One of the highlights of the year included Bizcommunity celebrating 11 years since our very first newsletter was sent out in 2001, as well as launching many more portals and newsletters. A tremendous thank you for your continuous support in the past and for many more years to come. A big welcome to all our new subscribers! The first of our newsletters for 2013 will be published on Monday, 7 January. For the FOMO (fear of missing out), we will keep on updating the news over the festive season. In the new year, the 2013 Biz Trends will kick off and run until the end of January. So keep an eye out for that! From the entire Bizcommunity team, we would like to wish all of you a very festive end-of-year break, that's if you are fortunate to get some time off. Enjoy the time with friends and family and keep safe during your travels and festivities. See you in 2013! Veni, vidi, vici! Evan-Lee Courie @evan1985
