In
consultation with GC and NE seniors, we have now closed in on the theme for the
10th Global Communication Conclave that will be held in Kolkata in
January 2016.
It's: Digital Now - What Next!
The theme is quite topical since the government is going whole hog with Digital India Campaign and 100 plus Smart Cities. It encompasses our lives at every stage and step.
We will now
work on logo and adaptations for stationery and collaterals.
We should be
able to work out everything within a week.
I appeal to
all of you to immediately start working on the Conclave and come out with
workable suggestions and available speakers and panelists.
Considering
the fact that the theme covers a wide gamut of issues we can start looking at
speakers from corporate, corpcom, social media, print, TV and regional media,
education, governance, industry, services and what have you.
Do send in a
brief about the suggested speakers to enable us to zero in and start sending
invites.
Kolkata
Chapter may please start working on venues. Please mail suggestions to Jayaram
and us.
Meanwhile, happy
to infirm you all that our e-mag has crossed the 7,000 page view mark with
3,500 coming from India and 3,000 from the US! Germany will shortly record 200.
In fact, on some days, the US gives us much larger hits than India! At this
rate, we should be able to touch Mr S K Kaul’s target of 10,000 in no time.
Data apart, I
am happy that the content is increasing and improving by the day. We need to
build on further.
I request all
of you to keep writing and enrich the e-mag. Do send suggestions on topics for
discussion and healthy debates.
I know, most
of us are pretty active on What’sApp. But remember the fact that the posts can
be deleted as they eat into the memory of handsets. But this e-mag is forever
with no memory issues!
Looking forward to increased participation from all chapters and zones since PRCI is a voluntary movement for all of us!
Bye and do take care of yourselves.
