The next round of IMLPs head to Shanghai

ShanghaiWith their 2nd rotations completed, the next round of IMLPs will soon head to Shanghai, China for Senior IMLP Bootcamp. 

They’ve gotten their passports, had their immunizations, and packed their luggage.  Now it’s just a matter of days before it’s destination – Shanghai.  In fact, a few IMLPs have already headed off to the orient for some pre-bootcamp travel. 

After all, what better way to prepare for bootcamp in Shanghai than with a couple of days or more of vacation in Tokyo, Sidney, Hong Kong, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, New Delhi, Beijing, or one of the many places nearby? 

So, how will bootcamp turn out?  Well… having been part of the last bootcamp in Shanghai and knowing the IMLPs who are headed there this time around, I’m sure it’s going to be another amazing time.  I can’t wait to hear the stories they bring back!  But rest assured, when I hear them, so will you.

Best of luck to all the IMLPs headed out. Have a great time.  It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you’ll never forget.

And for those of you waiting on the edge of your seats to hear more… you’ll just have to stay tuned to see what they’re up to.

IMLPs invade China with IMLP Senior Bootcamp

The IMLPs of the spring class of ’09 gathered this past month in Shanghai, China for Senior Bootcamp training.  However, our rigorous training in networking, data warehousing, enterprise reporting, and business dynamics were far from the only travels that we would embark on over our 3 weeks abroad.From the streets of Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di district to the historic riverside buildings of the Bund… from the lofty heights of the Jin Mao and Pearl towers to the many shops of Yu Gardens and Nanjing Road… from the hallowed grounds of the Jade Buddha Temple to the sea of fabrics in the South Bund Fabric Market… we left no path untraveled and no stone unturned.Venturing even further into the heart of the great Chinese nation, some of us sought out the ancient terracotta warriors of Xi’an while others explored the great metropolis of Beijing.  From the Great Wall to the Temple of Heaven… from the Forbidden City to the 2008 Beijing Olympics… we made sure to see it all and experience everything that China had to offer.Be it the local cuisine like Peking roast duck and soup dumplings or the many nightspots around town, we made sure to make the most of every moment.  Though the journey has come to an end, we’ll never forget the time they spent with our fellow IMLPs at our Senior Bootcamp in China.
