2011 PanIIT Global Conference Proposal

Proposal prepared by the Houston Team, Feb 8, 2010

Executive Summary


Executive Summary

Houston offers the opportunity to:

• Expand beyond the existing PanIIT network of the East, West and Midwest and hold the conference in the heart of US – in the 4th largest city and the fastest growing area of US

• Engage truly excited volunteer base with organizational experience and a collective leadership, who have led large organizations and held conferences of comparable size

• Tap the untapped alumni power in these areas and bring new perspective to Pan IIT movement, reaching out to over 1500 attendees from this area. Our Houston team includes alumni from 7 IIT’s

• Lower the conference cost. Travel, accommodation and food are the cheapest among all major US cities. Easy access from anywhere in US / World. The weather is PERFECT from September through December. Attendee cost (registration, travel, lodging) will be about 30% lower in Houston compared to either East or West coast. Conference costs including logistics, food, audio visual, etc. for a comparable facility (Category 5 hotel located downtown) in other metropolitan cities are at least 50% higher. Cost per attendee for 3000 delegates is ~$330

• Expand the IIT branding in technologies of the future, e.g. energy, biotechnology, space technology. Houston is the global center for energy, space and healthcare. The conference theme will be “Innovations for the Changing Future”

Why Houston?

17

The Houston conference will enable IITians to impact the global challenges in energy and environment

The Houston conference will enable IITians to impact the global challenges in energy and environment

• An excellent opportunity for global PanIIT conference to capture the interest and imagination of a very large number of alumni in south central US, which is also home to a large, diverse industrial base

– It is time to move to the heartland of the US and hold the event in the fourth largest city and the fastest growing area of the US.

• A strong appetite and passion among local alumni for bringing PanIIT 2011 to Houston since the event has not been held in this region

– Past events held in the East, West and North. The next logical choice is South.

• IIT “branding” within this area has been sporadic and spotty, built on local efforts

– It is time we expand the IIT branding to the technologies of the future, e.g. energy, biotechnology, nanotechnology

• Alumni resources from this area have not been garnered effectively for nation building nor for advocacy for the alma mater

– It is time we capture the untapped alumni power in these areas and bring new perspective to our movement
