Thiruvananthapuram (formerly Trivandrum), India
Join fellow members as JHI travels to one of the most storied tourist destinations in Asia. Selected by the National Geographic Traveler as one of the 50 destinations of a lifetime and one of the 13 paradises in the world, what better place than Thiruvananthapuram to unwind, network and gain insights you can put to work back at the office?
Change is on everyone’s mind these days and it will form the core of the conference agenda. Whether the desired change is organisational, team-oriented or personal, Peter Ernest, CEO of Values Journey Pty Ltd, will provide delegates with the tools needed to clearly identify and attain their change goals. His innovative and highly-interactive process encourages an increased awareness of self as a source of powerful insights into the leadership capabilities within each of us and our responsibility for creating the change we desire.
The conference promises a balanced mix of business and social events, commencing with a hotel welcome dinner on a cliff facing the Indian Ocean where the Indian Ocean meets the Arabian Sea.
Visa Requirements
Conference attendees should research their country's visa requirements by visiting the website of their destination’s Consulate office or Embassy located in their own country. Search for an embassy by country here: www.embassiesabroad.com. Please do this well in advance of the conference to avoid entry issues.
When visas are required, the traveler typically requires an invitation letter from a company based in the destination country. This letter will need to be submitted along with their visa application. Our host firm, Roy Varghese & Associates, will issue invitation letters to ensure smooth processing of the visas.

Recent Conferences Build Business Worldwide
Recent JHI conferences were excellent examples of our members’ strong interest in deepening their understanding of industry trends and best practices while developing mutually beneficial working relationships and access to business opportunities.
Managing Partners Summit and
Information Technology Conference
September 2010, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Themed “Growing Your Firm in Challenging Times,” the Managing Partners Summit explored best concepts, strategies, tactics and implementation approaches to help attendees lead their firm out of what this year’s presenter Gale Crosley, CPA at Crosley + Company, called “a passive client maintenance model,” to one that drives growth. The event began with a discussion of industry challenges as a result of the current economic recession and included a variety of workshops and breakout sessions to help attendees discuss best practices and brainstorm ideas with peers.
Designed for IT partners and technologists, the Information Technology Conference enabled attendees to chart the do’s and don’ts of technology implementation, collect and compare IT policies and procedures and examine new and enhanced software. The conference program featured sessions on timely industry topics such as data protection, Microsoft Office 2010, protecting client data, virtualisation technologies and IT policies. Now in its 12th year, the IT Conference enables attendees to connect with their peers, share ideas and discuss current IT issues, while offering effective ways to maximise their investment in technology.
The IT Conference and Managing Partners Summit overlapped for a day to probe IT issues of interest to managing partners such as special sessions on Disaster Recovery
Planning, social networking and data protection. This allows firms to have a consistent IT strategy that has been evaluated from both technical and firm management points of view.
Both events provided unique and myriad opportunities to share and gain insights among managing partner and IT professional peers who share the same daily challenges as well as tap into a fresh spectrum of information by interacting with members of geographically diverse firms.
New JHI Website: A Forum for Global Resources
JHI’s new website has been upgraded to more dynamically reflect the organisation’s mission, worldwide membership and global brand. With a bold contemporary design and refreshed copy, the website provides a more fluid and streamlined navigation for ease of use. The home page draws the visitor to the wide variety of content options within the site, highlighting quick links to Hot Topics and the JHI Connections newsletter as well as main site section icons which are augmented by drop-down links to sub-sections.
The new global design and repositioned website copy not only advance JHI’s goal of merging its operations and offerings into a unified global brand, but will also compliment the design and messaging of future communications. In addition to adding information about how JHI benefits its members’ international clients, emphasis is placed on fostering accessibility and interaction between members. The site will be updated frequently to keep members and visitors updated on key trends, issues and breaking industry news.
The website is now an industry resource center and a global meeting place allowing all audiences to understand why JHI is the logical first stop for global referrals and resources for accounting and business advisory services. See for yourself at www.jhi.com!
