The 2008 Conference aims to have each participant leave with a sense of empowerment that they can move beyond their perceived boundaries. Further, the conference will also solidify and encompass the engaging needs of the Indian and South Asian professional community."Explore. Dream. Discover."

During the history of the Network of Indian Professionals (NetIP), the organization has significantly expanded from one that simply unites South Asian professionals to one that challenges and empowers South Asian professionals to "explore, dream, and discover". The growth of NetIP North America is largely influenced by its local chapters across various major cities throughout the U.S and Canada. In 2008, NetSAP Boston along with NetIP North America will demonstrate the tremendous potential of NetIP globally. Here, where the voices of democracy were first heard, we at NetIP declare to:

Explore new opportunities
As South Asians have expanded into the community and made their presence known in particular fields and disciplines, we have the opportunity to look beyond the status quo and to expand our potentials. Never before has there been a greater prospect for South Asians to take on new risks in their careers and their personal lives. Strategizing in one's career and striving for activities outside regular career are key themes of this conference.

Dream the impossible
We encourage South Asians to believe in what they thought was unattainable. The chances to expand beyond one's network are constantly increasing. As we have established ourselves as a known entity, we now have the chance to take our vision one step further. For a South Asian to become governor of Louisiana and possibly a presidential candidate is a dream our community might find impossible even today but one that may potentially be embraced by this rising star.

Discover the unexpected
Perhaps no one thinks they can break their current status and find new prospects, but there is more waiting for us than we may realize. We hope this may come about for those who expand beyond their horizons, who first "explore" and "dream". We hope to motivate South Asian professionals to keep reaching beyond through the various events, discussions, and workshops that we will offer.

Thus, the 2008 conference boldly embodies the theme of "Explore. Dream. Discover."
