Our aim is to create a true network of people who CAN address these global issues and who WILL.

This site will host all of the online interaction between the participants at the GIN Conference hosted at Chinese International School Hong Kong in March 2010.

We strongly encourage you to join this Ning site if you are attending or interested in the GIN conference. Click Sign up in the upper right of the sidebar.

This site has a real focus on global issues and all interaction on the site should reflect that. Also, if you don't wish to upload a photo of yourself, you can upload an image that is representative of you or don't upload one at all.

This site is about networking, discussing (and hopefully solving) global issues, and sharing. Let's focus on making that work. May we ask that you look over the site and contact others who will be joining you in Hong Kong. Join the group that is in your area of interest. Start a forum in your group to promote your presentation, ask a question, upload documents or link to websites. This is a way to collaborate and network before the conference.
