Sir, it is nice to give my experience about the conference ICOQM -6 attended at IIM Indore. It was one of the most rememberable experience of my life, every thing was so well organized that I do appreciate the pains taken by the organisers. As far as hospitality was concerned, even though I was visiting Indore for the first time I did not feel so since I felt I was among my own people. The event was a brilliant blend of professionalism and organization. In spite of the large number of events every event was well organized and planned. - K.P.Mredula, Lecturer Mathematics, S.V.I.T Vasad

Thanks a lot for your mail informing about ICOQM-7. My first experience at ICOQM was at ICOQM-6 held at IIM, Indore. Highly professionally organized technical sessions, rich in content, supplemented by expert interactions, had been a memorable educative experience for me and it would definitely be so for all other participants. Even as an author/presenter, I derived great satisfaction due to high quality of participation and interaction. A great job indeed and a good share of credit goes to you! I enthusiastically look forward to a similar (in fact, still better) experience at Jaipur. - Sanjay Vij, SVIT, Vasad

In my own experience in attending previous ICOQM conferences were very happy, because all papers in these conferences were very interesting sharing with people in other countries their points of view and their culture that it would be impossible to share them if there was no very good organization, including facilities, professionalism and support. This last issue was a very important matter for me, being a Mexican professor. - CARLOS E. ESCOBAR TOLEDO, FACULTAD DE QUÍMICA, CIUDAD UNIVERSITARIA, 04510, D.F. MÉXICO.

Thank you for inviting me to write something about the ICOQM 6 held in IIM Indore, the first International Conference that I attended. The entire organization of the conference was marvelous. The way AIMS International managed the 120 odd delegates with ease really struck my awe. On top of that I was amazed by the grandeur of the conference. But the best part was the Keynote sessions and the speakers invited for those sessions were really marvelous to listen to. I think I wrote more than two sentences, but I could have said a lot more. - Subhadip Roy, IIMT

The ICOQM-I Conference that was held at Jaipur, India on January 5-8, 1997 was among the first international management conferences to be held in India and it blazed a trail for several other conferences to choose India as an important conference venue. That conference, and all subsequent ICOQM conferences, were extremely well organized and a worthwhile experience to attend, or participate in, if you are in any way connected with academic peers from across the globe. The social events were well planned and great opportunities to network. Conference support personnel and volunteers have been extremely diligent in catering to conference attendees' needs and last-minute requests. Both the plenary sessions and the concurrent seminars offered valuable insight and information, making every moment at the conference an enriching experience for all scholars. . . an outstanding event. - Arvinder Loomba, San Jose State University
