IASHINGTON este numele conferintei interenationale ce se desfasoara in Iasi in perioada 1-5 septembrie. Conferinta este organizata de Aiesec Iasi (sunt sigur ca o sa faca treaba buna) si isi propune sa ofere sapte zile intense de dezvoltare personala si profesionala intr-un mediu multicultural. Numarul participantilor este de aproape 160. Nu stiu proportia intre delegatii internationali si cei romani, sa-mi fie cu iertare.

Conferinta are patru trasee, track-uri, in functie de domeniile de interes ale participantilor, si anume: development, leadership, technology si entrepreneurship. Invitatii sunt si ei bine alesi, reprezentant atat companii importante din mediu de afaceri local sau Parlamentul European sau organizatii non-guvernamentale, cat si trainerii celebri, precum Jim Bagnola, somitate internationala in leadership si dezvoltare personale.

Cateva highlighturi din fiecare track:

In timpul zilei se au loc workshop-urile, prezentari, paneluri etc, iar seara activitati relaxante precum: petreceri , mese traditionala (Bolta Rece), vizite culturale in Iasi, treasure hunt, teambuilding etc. O activitate intereasanta ar fi fire walking cu Bruno Medicina (sper sa nu se lase cu basici), turul Iasului pe 5 septembrie. In ultimele zile se va face un Globall Village, unde fiecare participant va prezenta obiceiuri, mancaruri si bauturi (mmm) din tara sa si Gala de sfarsit. Mai multe detalii, inclusiv agenda pe site-ul conferintei international Iashington.

Per total se anunta o conferinta interesanta. Fee-ul este de 100 Euro si cuprinde atat cazare cat si cele trei mese zilnice. Poate e putin tarziu dar inca va mai puteti inscrie, iar pentru cei care sunt deja acolo: have fun and enjoy!
