Delegate Mailer – AIESEC US Summer National Conference 2009 Here Today, Leading Tomorrow
Dear Summer Conference Delegates,
While I am a bit of an old-hat at this conference thing (this will be about my 30th conference, not counting various seminars, camps and other such activities, and about the 10th I’ve facilitated/chaired/whatever), I still get excited about a conference, especially when it’s a bit different.
And this conference will be different.
To start with, it’s a BEAST. With 6 nights, 5 days and a packed agenda, it’s going to be one mama-jama of a conference.
Second, we have two awesome events happening through this conference – firstly an alumni event, where alumni coming to meet and greet with us. Secondly, our awesome leadership day, where we will have a series of fantastic speakers and sessions, focused on making you a better leader.
Third, we have an amazing conference team, with 20 people facilitating and OCing the conference, from 10 different countries! That’s right – don’t say we never provide for you!
Add to that the parties, the best functional training EVER, an amazing hotel and a host of amazing people, and you have what is shaping up to be one of the greatest conferences EVER.
I’m excited, and you should be too, because it’s going to kick @.
Your VPTM, and Conference Manager,
Peter McDermott.
Me in Tbilisi, Georgia, during the Central Asia
and Caucus’ Conference
Hey AIESEC! It is with great pleasure that I present to you the first delegate mailer for the BEST AIESEC conference ever! I hope you’re as excited as I am!
By now you’ve probably started thinking a lot about Summer Conference. Got your ticket up to Madison? Have you started packing yet…or thought about what clothes to bring for the themed parties?
Now that you’ve just been forced to think about getting ready for conference, the one that you must do before you come is sleep. Sleep for hours and days before the conference, you’ll thank me for it later I promise. With delegates from all over the world, alumni day, great sessions, crazy themed parties (pirates v. ninjas anyone?), and as usual, tons of AIESEC dances to keep you awake, you won’t be sleeping much (or at all) in Madison!
And speaking of Madison, be sure to congratulate AIESEC Madison for sending the most delegates to Summer Conference! And if you want to hang out in Madison with AIESECers after the conference, be sure to check out the study tour.
I hope you enjoy the delegate mailer. If you have any crazy epiphanies in the next few days about things you want to see at Summer Conference, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Can’t wait to see you all in Madison! (Only a week and a half to go!!)
With love from your OCP,
Joanna Cornell
The girl, the legend, the pigeon.

Planning Flow Whether you are just starting your term, or half way through, you’re going to have a chance to have a look at the AIESEC world, country and your LC as it stands, and then when you’re all skilled up from the tracks and everything else, to relook at your LC and figure out how to take it forward.
Success is not a buzzword.

Party Themes!
Night 1: Pirates vs Ninjas
Night 2: Uniform Party
Night 3: Funky Party
There have been many ongoing rivalries through the years. The Yankees vs the Red Sox; Moustaches vs Beards; Superman vs The Flash (who’s faster?).
Yet none of these are as old, or awesome, as the pirates vs ninjas rivalry.
Choose your side – dress accordingly.
Be someone else for a night! A fireman! A policewoman! Big Bird! A ninja turtle!
The sky is the limit!
Music: Mashup
Head back, to when bell bottom pants were in, disco was cool and you could look like shaggy from Scooby doo and still pick up.
Music: Disco!

Rock out with your…self in a responsible and respectful manner. Ahem.
Madison, as the hosting LC, will be organizing a party with a surprise
theme!
Come in your best – because tonight you need to look gooood.

Music: Whatever it is, it’ll be all class.
