The countdown has begun. Only few days are left for the much-awaited ConneXion 2010 at the Indian Institute of Management,
Ahmedabad (IIMA) and the students of PGPX have started gearing up for the three-day event beginning October 22.
ConneXion brings together industry, academia and the policy makers to discuss vital business trends and emerging issues.
Through its eminent speakers, focused panel discussions and insightful PGPX participation, the event intends to provide leadership for the next level of corporate growth and renewal.
"For many, ConneXion is a nostalgic moment as they visit their alma mater and meet colleagues. This is the fifth batch of PGPX and the alumni are definitely looking forward to it.
While we get to network with people of our batch and our seniors, the current batch, X5, will get to tap placement opportunities once they finish their course.
Hence, it is a vital platform for all to interact and share experiences once they pass out of campus. It will also act as a platform for X5 to discuss questions with respect to projects, study materials and the like," said Ajay Shah, an alumnus of PGPX 2003 batch.
ConneXion, which had started with a group of four managing the events, has now grown big with over 20 volunteers taking care of logistics, event management and media.
A session on Green Innovations will be conducted in order to achieve a balance between economic growth and environment protection. The idea is to bring out organisations' concern for 'planet' while meeting their business objectives. The session will focus on achieving sustainable growth through 'Clean Technology'.
The PGPX alumni meet is aimed at bringing past and present together on one platform so as to discuss various topics like managing challenges in emerging markets to marketing innovations while going green in between.
The three-day festival will end with Marketing Innovations. This session will address two topics - Innovations in marketing and
marketing the innovations.
