IMI welcomes Carol Bellamy as conference keynote.
"If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
- John F. Kennedy, Commencement Address at the American University June 10, 1963
For more than 30 years, the Intercultural Management Institute (IMI) has worked toward promoting cultural understanding through innovative and dynamic intercultural communication training. Never before have the effects of international communication been so far-reaching and immediate. The lesson is clear: in our global community, we tend to ignore the importance of intercultural relations at our own peril. Reciprocally, collectively we have made tremendous strides in the field of intercultural relations, successes of which we should be proud. IMI has chosen to focus this year's 10th Annual Conference on those successes, recognizing where we came from and looking at new trends in intercultural relations in where we are going. Please join us to celebrate the IMI 10th Anniversary Conference: Milestones in Intercultural Relations.
