Based in the commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City, TVMIndex - a 50:50 JV - will provide international-standard event-organising services, multimedia production and sponsorship management for multinational companies and local enterprises, as well as for Thai companies operating in Vietnam.
The JV is expected to generate revenue of Bt70 million this year, with multinational and local companies accounting for 60 per cent of the total.
Index Creative Village co-chief executive officer Kriangkan Kanjanapokin yesterday said the company had confidence in the strength of the Vietnamese economy, and the country's population of more than 80 million presented a sizeable market.
Meanwhile, international conglomerates, including major Thai companies in the automobile and beverage industries, were continuing to invest and expand their business in the country to cash in on the advantages of the Asean Economic Community, which will be implemented in 2015.
Kriangkan added that in the first phase, the JV would focus on Ho Chi Minh City-based companies as well as government bodies. TVMIndex currently has 13 staff.
Le Thi Phuong Thuy, chairwoman of Tri Viet Media, said that through the partnership, the company would like to see know-how, creativity and innovation transfer from a highly experienced Thai event organiser to strengthen its core competency.
Index Creative Village next month plans to announce a second Asean joint venture, in Myanmar, after having organised several events for the government early this year, Kriangkan said.
The company will then discuss further expansion in the Middle East with its Dubai-based JV, Aspan Index Events, while negotiating with several media companies in Indonesia about setting foot in Asean's largest and most populous country.
"With these efforts, the company expects to gain at least Bt196 million in revenue from overseas business within five years," he added.

‘Strive to be the best’: Five minutes with Jordan Porter, 18, instructor at Gymstar Fun N Fit Gymnastics
Posted: at 9:14 pm
Photo by Andy Bockelman. for the Daily Press. Enlarge photo.
Jordan Porter, center, hangs out on the uneven bars at Gymstar Fun N Fit Gymnastics with students Heidi Snow, 4, left, and Arianna Anderson, 6. Porter, 18, is an instructor for the business and has participated in gymnastics most of her life. A 2012 Moffat County High School graduate, she will attend the University of Northern Colorado in the fall and plans to become a preschool teacher.
Where is your hometown? I was born in Denver.
When did you first move to Craig? We moved here when I was 5 because my dad got transferred to Hayden for his job and they found a place in Craig.
Motto or outlook on life? Always strive to be the best that you can be.
When did you first get started in your job? Ive been coaching for five years, and I work with kids up to 14. I did gymnastics from when I was 2 to 16. My mom and I were watching the Olympics when I was little and I started doing cartwheels on the edge of her table and she said, Were taking you and putting you in gymnastics. It takes a lot of hard work, and I really enjoy competing and learning a lot about responsibility and just really growing up. You give your life to this sport.
Favorite part of life in Northwest Colorado? The weather. Its ever-changing and surprising. It keeps you on your toes because it could be 75 degrees one day and the next itll be 20 degrees and snowing.
Least favorite? The lack of things to do. You cant really keep kids interested in doing the same old thing every day.
Favorite meal from a local restaurant? The Philly cheesesteak from Ginos is really good. It would come down to that or pizza from pretty much anywhere. Im a pizzaholic.
Dream vacation? A beach on Hawaii. I went there when I was 15 for an All-American cheerleading team and I spent six hours a day practicing while my family was on the beach, so I would totally go back and not practice and spend more time relaxing. I havent been anywhere that pretty before.

OSU baseball: Former ORU coach Rob Walton added to Cowboys coaching staff
Posted: at 9:14 pm

Oklahoma State has hired Rob Walton as its pitching coach, Cowboy head coach Josh Holliday announced Monday.
Walton has been the head coach at Oral Roberts for the last nine years and has spent 14 years total at ORU. He was a four-year letterman as a pitcher at OSU from 1983-86.
This is a really special opportunity for me and my family, Walton said. My wife and I went to school there, and it's a chance to come back to our alma mater and help Coach Holliday get the program going in the right direction. Hopefully we can bring it back to prominence.
I've known Josh (Holliday) for a long time. He has a passion for OSU baseball and so do I, and so we're going to team up and do the best job that we can do to put the program back where it needs to be.
In his nine seasons at the helm of ORU, Walton compiled a 365-167 (.686) record and was named the Summit League Coach of the Year five times.
We're really excited to bring someone of Rob's caliber to the program, Holliday said. He possesses the talents and character traits that identify our mission to develop and groom our players in an environment where teaching, discipline, passion, the ability to develop a person in all phases of their life, on the field and off, are the focus, as is the commitment to building a championship team. When this opportunity to bring Rob into our program presented itself, and after sitting and talking with him and his family and sensing the true passion for Oklahoma State, his unique and well-known talents in the game and his desire to team up and pour himself into the kids and help us become great, it was just a tremendous fit.

Greg Davis: History buff, speed readerand 38 years of coaching
Posted: at 9:14 pm
IOWA CITY, Ia. The new guy in Iowas football complex has a national championship ring, three former quarterbacks starting in the NFL, and is a friend of former Texas coaching legend Darrell Royal.
Hes a history buff with a Masters Degree in Administration. Hes a speed reader, and he taught a young Hawkeye coach Cowboy boot etiquette during a recent Texas back roads drive.
But bagging a bear?
Ive done a lot of stuff, Greg Davis said during an hour-long interview recently, but Ive never hunted bear.

In this instance, quarterback James Vandenberg is one-up on just the second offensive coordinator Kirk Ferentz has hired in 13 seasons at Iowa, a respected veteran whose play calling starts Sept. 1 against Northern Illinois at Chicagos Soldier Field.
Davis, 61, is a grandfather. Hes religious, but he doesnt lace interviews with his beliefs. Hes seen it all the good and the not so good during 38 years in football coaching, but he could only listen in amazement when told the story about how his passer killed a bear.
He comes back from his trip and tells me a story about being up in a tree with a compound bow, and this bear gets to the tree, rises up, puts his big claw in the tree, and pulls himself up, Davis said.
James said he was not in a position where he could shoot, and I said well, you had your pistol ready, and he said he didnt have a pistol. I said youre not as smart as you thought you were.
The affable Davis laughed and shook his head as he recounted the story, one of many he told during the get-to-know-you interview.
