NRB Conference 2008?

On December 27, 28, and 29th the Dhaka Sheraton opened its doors to hundreds of visiting Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) as the First NRB Conference was hosted by ScholarsBangladesh http://www.scholarsbangladesh.com with the support and participation of the interim Caretaker Government of Bangladesh. The NRB Conference was a three day Conference of ground breaking seminars and book launching ceremonies coupled with art exhibitions and outstanding evening performances. In fact, many great ideas came out of the conference .

The concept while not novel was a great one, “A Non Resident Bangladeshi Conference every year in Bangladesh , which we believe will be the right platform and opportunity for those who have earned recognition in abroad for their achievements and are also interested in contributing towards the development of their country.” The Chief Adviser’s participation and the government’s apparent willingness to listen and address the concerns of those living outside of Bangladesh was uniquely appealing, but now 6 months after the conclusion of this landmark event we have heard nothing of NRB Conference 2008.

So, when will the NRB Conference of 2008 be held, we all are waiting to hear.
