The Corporate Registers Forum (CRF) 2025 in Tunisia was an unforgettable event, and a great experience for the Foster Moore team. Our presence sparked meaningful conversations, strengthened partnerships, and reaffirmed our position as The registry people® leading global registry innovation.
A world-class event, exceptionally hosted
Our heartfelt thanks go to Tunisia’s Registre National des Entreprises (RNE) and its Director General Adel Chouari, whose warm hospitality and organisation set the tone for an incredible week. The CRF once again proved to be more than a conference, it was a space for collaboration, innovation, and friendship for people from registries all over the world.
We also extend our gratitude to Martin Fidler Jones, Geraldine Spiteri Lucas, and the entire CRF Executive Team for orchestrating such a well-run event. Their efforts continue to make the CRF the premier global platform for registry professionals. And a special shoutout to Chloe Ong, whose outstanding work on the new CRF website and members’ portal will have a lasting, positive impact on the registry community around the world (proudly delivered by Foster Moore with the help of our technical partners).

Our strong team made an impact
Our team once again made an impression that will not be forgotten.
Agnese Abelite was exceptional opening the event for us, she introduced Foster Moore with confidence and warmth on Day 1. Her energy and professionalism drew praise from delegates and organisers alike; she is a stellar ambassador for our brand and values. John Murray represented MetaReg™ and had very insightful conversations about interoperability in registers and the need for governments to be able to extend compliance beyond their borders.
Our Strategic Advisors, Rosanne Bell and Julian Lamb, reconnected with former colleagues, contributed to panels, and engaged in discussions about registry modernisation and compliance readiness.
But the highlight of the week was the CRF’s first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to our very own Justin Hygate, Vice President of Registry Solutions at Foster Moore. It is well known across the registry world that any event Justin participates in is instantly better. He is not only respected for his knowledge and passion, but also admired for his selflessness and openness to collaborate and help others. Justin’s four-decade career was celebrated with heartfelt applause from peers worldwide.
This recognition is an incredible personal milestone for Justin, celebrating his illustrious career and personal achievements, and a reflection of the enduring contribution our team members have made to the registry profession.

Celebrating Our Clients and Friends
It was a privilege to see so many Foster Moore clients represented at CRF 2025. Their presence underscores the strong relationships we’ve built and the shared commitment to digital transformation and registry excellence.
Our merchandise was gone by Day 1, and we received lots of positive feedback on our creative flair and our fun, functional gifts and conference memorabilia. The sticker sets were, once again, a huge hit. Delegates eagerly collected them before sessions, with many spotted smiling as they read through our playful registry-themed messages.
The conversations, connections, and collaborations forged in Tunisia will shape the future of registry modernisation for years to come. We return home inspired, proud, and more determined than ever to support the world’s registry leaders through technology, partnership, and community.
A huge thank you to everyone who made CRF 2025 possible , our hosts, partners, clients, and friends. Tunisia, you’ve set a new standard.
