The eXperts’ Opinion (XO) Series 2012
In order to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and Practical know-how, Gujarat Law
Society’s Management Programmes have nurtured a practice, since last 12 years, of holding
Annual Seminar Series featuring dignitaries from different industries and segments of the
corporate world. This year, under the auspice of N R Institute of Business Management (MBA
& PGDM) and GLS Institute of Computer Technology (MBA programme), Gujarat Law Society
will host a ten day eXperts’ Opinion (XO) series, a colloquium and discussion series in
diversified sectors such as Banking, Telecom, IT, Pharmaceuticals, Media, Manufacturing,
Retail, Travel, Tourism and Hospitality domains.
This is going to be an event, where torch bearers of major industrial sectors and eminent business
personalities would share their views about the industry, its macro and micro nuances, and give
insights about the sectors they work with.
The mode of knowledge sharing is through lecture series, round-table discussions, panel
discussions coupled with formal and informal discussions with around 500 participants of
management programmes across GLS and other institutes.
Every year, the institutes normally plan the colloquium, focused in 4-5 sectors. However this
year the same is being executed at much larger scale, with 8 industry concentrations and 20
industry leaders sharing their wisdom with the participants. The colloquium is expected to be
attended by executives and management professionals from the industry.
