2011 Georgia Tech Global Leadership Conference.

My name is Yash Ghogre and I am serving as the co-conference chair for the 2011 Georgia Tech Global Leadership Conference. The Global Leadership Conference is a project I undertook last year with the objective to equip Georgia Tech students with the skills to be successful in the global world and provide a forum for topics such as cross cultural communication. Georgia Tech has been a leader in contributing to the dynamic nature of the community by being listed as one of the nation’s top institutions that award engineering , physical science, and architecture degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral level to all minority students including African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans, by “Diverse: Issues in Higher Education.” As great as this diverse campus is, more can be done to unify the Georgia Tech community and we hope that this conference takes a step towards that objective. Currently, the conference is scheduled to be on Saturday, April 9th starting at 10:00 am.

I believe that this conference is a platform for members of your organization to engage in some of the values that Georgia Tech wants its students to experience. Some of the key features of the conference are:
$8 registration fee that includes breakfast, lunch and conference souvenir.
Four engaging workshops focusing on future energy sources, digital media bringing global change, emerging markets and global social entrepreneurship.
Dr. Danny Boston from the School of Economics as the keynote speaker, a former recipient of Georgia Tech’s “Undergraduate Prof. of the Year” award, the Ivan Allen College “Legacy Award”, and the State of Georgia "Economics Educator of the Year" award.
Panel discussion to round up the day featuring Dr. Birchfield (Director of European Union Center of Excellence), Mr. Bernard Anquez (Vice President of the Air France-Delta-KLM partnership in Atlanta), Karen Wendl (Global Packaging R&D for The Coca Cola Co.).
