Greetings from the IMI staff!
As our 9th Annual Conference approaches, our staff is excited to provide a forum for discussion through our blog. We welcome any posts concerning our conference session topics, speakers, logistical questions, and any other information you feel to be relevant.
For more than 30 years, IMI has worked towards promoting cultural understanding through innovative and dynamic intercultural communications training. Never before have the effects of international communication been so far-reaching and immediate. The lesson is clear: in our global community, we ignore the importance of intercultural relations at our own peril. To that end, IMI has chosen to focus this year's 9 th Annual Conference on current issues in intercultural relations. The impact of immigration, the growing number of educational opportunities abroad, and the increasing importance of public diplomatic relations highlight how current decision-making impacts cultures in multiple ways. In our 9 th Annual Conference, we hope to promote discussion and knowledge of these issues and their significance.
Lets begin this journey towards an advanced understanding of intercultural affairs! Post your thoughts today!
If you have any direct questions, please contact our program coordinator, Karen Santiago, at karen.santiago@american.edu or 202-885-6439.
