A few quick facts about last year’s version ICAHT 11 of the conference:
Last year, the seniority of our delegates was as follows:

“At the Outset, let me congratulate you and your team on the wonderful ICAHT 2011. It was exceptional, by the quality of learning disseminated as well as in terms of organizational excellence. Also, thank you for inviting me to be part of this event.
In context of the conference theme of ‘Making Competition Irrelevant” and the oft repeated references to the desirability of “Sustainability” throughout the conference, working for transforming every individual employee in a company into a potent leader in his/her own right will be the key. Some of the employees may not respond to this endeavor, but those that do will take the company places.
