Creating The Future, Conference. (2000-12)

We have just witnessed the dawning of a new era, of a new millennium, of the 21sf century. It is a well known fact that the driving force for the 21st century is knowledge. At a time when the rest of the world has transformed, Pakistan still remains far behind in every sphere. The need of the hour is education, as it is education which has the power to transform every society and the individual that comprise it. \'Creating the Future\' is a step in that direction. Breakneck rate of innovations and ever reducing distances are bringing about a revolution in our perceptions. No more can we distance ourselves from the events unfolding around us and afford to close our eyes to the reality. In order to catch up we need a tremendous effort given the head start that the others already have on us.
In response to this challenge Sensei International and The NEWS bring to Pakistan an exciting event called \"Creating the Future\" on November 3rd and 4th 2000. This is a conference which provides the Pakistani business world a unique opportunity to discover the latest approaches being adopted by business leaders around the world. The conference showcases leaders in various management disciplines such as Information Technology, Sales, Human Resources and Marketing.
This event did not just happen overnight. In March 1999, Sensei International organised a unique event in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The event was aptly entitled \"Creating the Future\". The concept of this program was to bring on one platform leaders of various management disciplines so that the audience could get a glimpse of cuffing edge developments in these fields from all over the world.
The success of \"Creating the Future\" in Colombo spurred Sensei to bring this unique conference to Pakistan. An event of this magnitude required Sensei to partner with another like minded organisation who had a similar interest in opening a window to the world for the Pakistani corporate environment. The \"NEWS\" was a natural choice for this partnership. Thus \"Creating the Future\" for Pakistan was set to be launched.
The speakers of this event are people of international repute who have a proven track record in their various fields. The speakers are:
Mr. Hermawan Kartajaya - Mr. Kartajaya has recently published a book co-authored with Philip Kotler entitled \"Repositioning Asia: From Bubble to Sustainable Economy\". He is the Leading Service Officer of Mark Plus Strategy Consulting, a firm based in Indonesia, which he founded in 1989.

Building on his past experience as a successful entrepreneur and sales professional, Bob\'s present work as a sales and performance consultant has made him a sought-after speaker and trainer across Canada, the United States and Asia.
