We are pleased to announce that the 17th Annual NetIP Conference will be held in Boston this year. The Annual Conference will be held at the The Renaissance Hotel from Friday, August 29th to Sunday, August 31st, 2008
The 2008 Conference theme, " Explore. Dream. Discover." aims to inspire and encourage professionals to think and act beyond their perceived boundaries. The conference hopes to highlight greater issues within our community in line with the NetIP pillars of professional development, political awareness, socio-cultural awareness and community service. Innovative and interactive workshops will allow the attendees to actively participate, think out-of-the-box and experience the richness of the conference. In short, our conference will provide the platform for the participants to "explore new opportunities", "dream the impossible" and finally "discover the unexpected."
During the history of the Network of Indian Professionals (NetIP), the organization has significantly expanded from one that simply unites South Asian professionals to one that challenges and empowers South Asian professionals to "explore, dream, and discover." The growth of the North America chapter is largely influenced by its local chapters across various major cities throughout the U.S. In 2008, the Boston chapter along with NetIP North America will have the opportunity to demonstrate the tremendous potential of NetIP globally. Here, where the voices of democracy were first heard, we at NetIP declare to:
Explore new opportunities As South Asians have expanded into the community and made their presence known in particular fields and disciplines, we have the opportunity to look beyond the status quo and to expand our potentials. Never before has there been a greater prospect for South Asians to take on new risks in their careers and their personal lives. Strategizing in one's career and striving for activities outside one's career are key themes of this conference.
Dream the impossible We encourage South Asians to believe in what they thought was unattainable. The chances to expand beyond one's network are constantly increasing. As we have established ourselves as a known entity, we now have the chance to take our vision one step further. For a South Asian to become governor of Louisiana and possibly a presidential candidate is a dream our community might find impossible even today but one that may potentially be embraced by this rising star.
Discover the unexpected Perhaps no one thinks they can break their current status and find new prospects, but there is more waiting for us than we may realize. We hope this may come about for those who expand beyond their horizons, who first "explore" and "dream". We hope to motivate South Asian professionals to keep reaching beyond through the various events, discussions, and workshops that we will offer.
Thus, the 2008 conference boldly embodies the theme of "Explore. Dream. Discover." We strongly believe we have the commitment and dedication toward following through with this theme for our conference. We aim to have each participant of the conference leave with a sense of empowerment that South Asian professionals can move beyond their perceived boundaries. Finally, we aim to further solidify and encompass the engaging needs of the South Asian professional community.
