IIM Lucknow Manfest 2009 is to be held from January 16 – 18 at the IIM Lucknow campus. India's leading management portal MBAUniverse.com is the Official Management Portal of the conclave.
This edition of Manfest is woven around the theme "Sustainable Development – Fuelling the Future", a theme that finds much of its relevance in today's world wherein there is a heightened awareness of bolstering current growth while reinforcing future prospects.
The launch of Manfest 2009 was followed by the launch of its first flagship event – Treatise: The International Thought Challenge. Treatise, now in its third edition takes shape in the form of an online debate. The event is open to students from all backgrounds pursuing an undergraduate or postgraduate course anywhere in the world. Apart from this, the event has also been made open for corporates. Says Ruchika Agrawal, Manfest Core Committee Member, "We, at Manfest, believe that anyone, irrespective of their age or background can be a driver of change. Treatise this year will be in line with our theme to stress on the fact that CSR is not just a buzzword but a profit centre in itself."
Manfest is also to launch a CSR initiative in association with CII. The Manfest CSR initiative this year will comprise a CSR conclave, a Social Award and a marathon, the proceeds of which will be donated to CRY. Says Vineet Khanna, Manfest Coordinator, "The aim of the CSR initiative is to lay a foundation from where we can work towards building a sustainable model through which we, the students of IIM Lucknow, are able to make a contribution to society at large."
With events ranging across diverse fields of management, under Flagships, Leaders' Express, Biz Theatre, Arcade, Online Manfest, Beyond Business, and Informalz, Manfest takes the game to the next level.
