On CONGRESS BUREAU and its PRESENTATION

At Business School & Sochi International University

Friday, 30 April 1999 14:00 Lecture Hall

Imagine being able to watch a short video and find out everything you need to know about Sochi hotels and spas, events, open hours, ticket prices, telephone numbers, statistics, associations, educational resources and much more - in less than four minutes - from your computer. Imagine hundreds of visitors per day from all over the world - at Sochi pages. Imagine the extensive collection of member-universities of the electronic education network, and their chats, virtual discussion rooms, electronic manuals. The dream can become a reality, if someone starts and leads the work behind computer screens. If not us - then who?

"We are from Sochi" is a current programme by Sochi Education Department, its terms of reference include a contest of promotional school-made booklets of Sochi. An electronic presentation takes more time, creativity and technological puzzles, than prints. Yet, we've got what it takes to get the prize.

The idea is turning into a study business fecility, where we'll get placements to study how PR, marketing and communication can be done more effectively and efficiently. Our Congress Bureau, in addition to owning and operating a web site, will deal in announcing and staging workshops, seminars, conferences and congresses in Sochi.

Our CB will bring a world of difference and a whole new dimension to our study. It will provide hands-on experience and consulting in marketing and promotion services, developing front office skills, computer based infotecs, accounting, translation and business correspondence.

Someone might say, that the name of our Congress Bureau contains ambitious forward-looking statements, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. However, actual results, performance or achievements will be measured against objectives set today.

The mission and objectives of our study Congress Bureau are:

The Congress Bureau is a study non-profit facility of Sochi International University and Business School. It facilitates promotion of information on Sochi and its education community, provides new and existing services in knowledge exchange, attracts public involvement, develops interaction and corporativity at our campus.

Our objectives are:

The presentation featured the strategic opportunity for students to get in early to apply for jobs that will become an important part of their own career planning, professional development, involvement in the thriving development of Sochi Business School, International University, of Sochi.

P.S. May 13-16 the Congress Bureau staged the Meeting of Deans of medical departments at Russian universities. The first real event was our great success. The International University students are preparing their report on the first placement.
