The Conference

Conferences are usually considered to be quite boring. One can easily recall the Parliament's budget session where the attendees are either yawning or banging the tables. Contradictory to this common notion, for me conferences have always been quite an attraction.

These are the corporate conferences that seem to be quite attractive. The first one that I attended was way back when I had just passed out of school. It was a Law Seminar. This was quite different from a corporate conference. Here the audience comprised of students and parents. It was a seminar on why to choose law as a career. What keeps your attention grabbed in such a seminar or a conference is the way panel members present themselves and their topics. I still remember the person who addressed us in this law seminar was a young corporate lawyer who had this big smile on his face. He was a good orator. The way he was sharing his experience with us was very interesting adding the tinge of humour now and then. His voice was quite energetic and he made it quite an interactive session as well.During the session I made a query to him regarding placements after completion of law. Not only he answered it quite well but he gave it a positive bend as he said at the start of your career no matter whatever choice you make just maintain a positive outlook for it.

And yet another conference that I had attended just yesterday gave me the same feel. This was exactly what I would refer as an "attractive corporate conference". It was about the foreign upcoming markets. The panel members had smiling faces and amazing experiences as well as knowledge databases to share with us. Their presentations were interesting and something new for the audience which comprised of lawyers, CAs, MBA professionals and entrepreneurs. Who could have imagined that words like "sexy" and "unsexy' would be used in such conferences to describe an attractive investment. It was a healthy interaction of like minded people from varied backgrounds.And yes the tea time snacks after the conference were very much required for my small empty stomach.The tea itself didn't had a nice taste. It could have been better.

Looking forward for more of these conferences and hopefully as the member of the panel now having a smiling face.
