Getting ready for International Congress
Today we are leaving to IC, the biggest conference in AIESEC network. During little bit more than 2 weeks when we're going to experience greatest cultural diversity coming from 100 countries, understand better global strategies, build a strong network with people all over the world, get to know new AI team and interact with our global partners. It's great.
Right now I need to finish with my to-do list and packing my bag. In reality I'm in a hurry and doesn't have too much time for wondering how great it is to go to Turkey.
I exchanged EUROs for the fee, I have never taken so much money out of the cask machine before. Did you know that the maximum amount you can take out is 10 000.-? So to have 30 000.- in cash you need to insert the amount 3 times. Now I have in by bag new shiny EUROs and I feel a paranoia towards people. I guess we'll divide the money between us.
We have set the rules inside of our delegation. Nobody misses a single session unless it's important for AIESEC Estonia (it's actually a rule for you - if there are urgent e-mails, we'll reply them). In case someone really needs to miss morning plenary, it's allowed 2-3 times during the 2 week conference, but we all let Marjam know. I guess I'm not going to miss a single one.
I see IC as a big investment for AIESEC Estonia, both money- and time-wise, so we all plan to take maximum out of it. For that we have set clear expectations what we really want. There is no better place to network and learn from other countries experiences than a conference where you have 600 aieseccars together, most of them with long career in organization and deep knowledge about their function.
Having good and meaningful conversations is one of my personal goals. I want to learn about things we can improve in AIESEC Estonia - develop heading for the future stage, see if there is somewhere a good case for personal development track. I also want to share what we have already great here - we have alumni fund, great national strategy, excellent usage of funds etc.
I also want to see very much other MCP-s and other friends from conferences, who have become good friends of mine. Knowing people who understand your experience and live a similar passion for your daily work is fulfilling, I get much out of such friendships.
I and others as well are going to keep the blog alive, so come back regularly to read about our adventures and learnings from IC. Also check IC Live, where other delegates leave their photos and videos and where you can see what is happening is sessions, what are our partners telling, see world famous alumni and interact with other aieseccars.
Enjoy,
Marjam
