“Many congratulations to you, Convener Yasmin Zafar, Huma Amir, Dr. Nishat, and the entire ICM committee for initiating and organizing such an outstanding conference, one of the best in my judgment. Being the first conference of its kind at IBA, I was highly impressed by the quality of the presentations and the distinguished guests that were present. It was wonderful to interact with many of the outstanding IBA faculty and students and to learn about their scholarly efforts, contributions to research, interests, and targeted goals. It was great to see the active role that IBA students were asked to play in moderating parts of the conference and the professionalism and confidence they exhibited in fulfilling their responsibilities. I also immensely enjoyed the invitation at the Governor's house, the cultural show, the fascinating visit to the State Bank of Pakistan's museum and the tour of Karachi. Everything was done with so much finesse and hospitality.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend your vision and leadership at IBA. Since my last visit when you had just assumed office, I have noticed a sea of positive changes and developments at IBA and I wish you all the best in your vision to make it one of the top business schools globally.
Please let me know if there is any way that I can help in contributing to the goals of IBA”.

The keynote speeches were very informative and inspiring; a lot was learnt about what is happening at global front in marketing. The dinner hosted at governor house was a gift, as we were able to visit Quaid’s office in the governor house. The faculty was hospitable and encouraging.
