London to host 2nd IIM global summit

Thirty leading Indian and international business entrepreneurs, managers, educators and politicians will address the 2nd Annual IIM Global Summit on Management, which will be held in London on October 4.

The annual event attracts a vast number of delegates from industry, academia and policy areas from beyond the 700-strong alumni network of India's top business schools -- the six Indian Institutes of Management.

Entitled as 'The Changing Face of Business', the day-long summit will feature keynote addresses by notable speakers as well as panel discussions on key innovations and growth areas like Islamic Banking, Micro-finance, Next-Generation Outsourcing, Green Technologies and new frontiers in Offshoring.

The event is hosted by the Europe chapter of the alumini organisation of India's IIMs.

Mehmood Khan, global leader of innovation at Unilever and president of IIM Alumini Association, Europe, said "globalisation is here and now, not in the future any more, and it has changed the models of business and the very nature of global companies."
