Next CE Meet Location?

[The_Big_K]

Okay,

I'd like to know where in the world would you like to see next CE Meet happen. No, don't name your dream destination - but a place where you can go on a weekend to meet all CEans!

The first CE Meet was held in Pune - 21^st June, 2008. What should be the next destination?

[Once we have enough response, we'll launch a poll!] So please reply!

Alright. We've a good number of CEans from Mumbai. CEan - MayurPathak is one of them.

What do others say?

[raj87verma88]

I say New Delhi or somewhere near NCR.

@Saurav: I don't see any point in going for Mumbai. The first meet was at Pune which is very close to Mumbai. You can not have consecutive meets around the same area considering that CE is not a local society. An your suggestion for outside India.....well...it won't work. Maximum members are from India and the meet won't be as succesful elsewhere(right now). We can think about that later.

My house is available...

[KINETIC_JOULES]

Definitely out of my limits.

[The_Big_K]

It could be anywhere!

Let's form city-groups.

[sauravgoswami]

hey why dont we vote,big k,u shortlist some venues and we will vote and venue will be decided

[The_Big_K]

Hmm. I can't shortlist the names right now. We need few options before we add polls. It could be Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, US, UK, Malaysia - just any place!

Let's gather options first.

Yes sire!

Probably, lot of CEans think that CE Meet is something that is very formal. Not really. Even if two - three of your buddies meet and discuss about CE, about activities we can do, how can we promote CE etc., we can comfortably call it a CE Meet.

And trust me - this is just a start. We'll make sure each CE meet gets enough publicity through our website. Once these meets happen all over the world (with two-three members) we'll get more CEans to attend these meets.

Right now, we need pioneers & leaders from all parts of the world. Come on, take the initiative. You're creating history!

hey dude, i m overboard,well choose a location and time which is convenient and easy to locate and commute,it will encourage more CE members to attend,is it possible to held a online meet???

[The_Big_K]

We've had online meets in past , on Yahoo Messenger ! But it quickly turns into a fish market . Of course, I'm game for another online conference. Let's discuss this in another thread.

While I consider Patty's point that we recently had a meet in Pune and Mumbai is a close location; we should not rule out Mumbai as we may get considerable attendance from Mumbai. Hyderabad is also a good choice.

Here's what I suggest -

1. Let's start with threads titled "CE - Mumbai Meet" , "CE - Delhi / NCR Meet", "CE - Malaysia" meet with one volunteer to co-ordinate the meets.

2. Let's keep these threads open to discussions and gather interests from members who live near to these locations. Once we get enough responses for any location - we may conduct meet in that location.

What do you think about this idea?

[sauravgoswami]

tats a good idea,thumbs up!!from my side,check out with other members too
