Dear KREC/NITKian, After the grand launch of Golden Jubilee Year at college campus on 6th Aug 2009, the alumni association is now mobilizing for the 5th Global Alumni Convention scheduled for Dec 26th and 27th of this year. Hope you had received the initial invitation for this event dispatched in the month of May earlier. Please plan to attend this event with family and contribute to its grand success. As 5th Global Alumni Convention is planned to be a two day event being attended by thousands of alumni and their family members, we are working with the college authorities to ensure accommodation for all the attendees at the college campus itself as the new 1,500 rooms capacity hostel being built in the college campus is expected to be ready for use for this event. Also, we will forward you soon the hotel information for you to help yourself in arranging the alternate accommodations. Please look forward for further details regarding accommodations in the coming days. During the next couple of weeks, you will be receiving a series of emails focused on the global convention event planning and participation. These mails will be related to event agenda, opportunities for you to participate and contribute, updating of alumni information database etc. We sincerely appeal for your fullest participation and co-operation in this regard. We are updating the database of alumni available with us. We are attaching here with a form to be filled by you and send back to us. Please feel free to contact us for any further details. A program management office is being set up at our Bangalore office to coordinate the event.
