Elance is thrilled to be in Dhaka this week, kicking-off our exciting new operations in Bangladesh.
While we’re in Dhaka we’ll also take part in several Elance events and government-sponsored happenings. Each activity this week has an eye towards helping boost economic development for the talented people in this deserving region.
The festivities began with a bang on Wednesday, where Elance sponsored our own Work Differently Summit 2012. More than 200 eager Elancers and future Elancers were on hand as we swapped stories and shared insights. It was great connecting with local professionals, as the pictures here show.
On hand for the summit and spearheading activities was Elance’s most-recent hire, Saidur Khan. Our new local Business Development Manager, he’ll be based in Dhaka and help us grow the Bangladesh community even faster. Also of note attending from Elance were Kjetil Olsen (VP, Europe) and Alex Yoon (U.S. Director of Marketing and Talent).
More events are also on the docket this week, including a special event with the Prime Minister of Bangladesh – plus several Elance presentations throughout the week. The grand finale is Friday’s Digital World Event where Elance will be speaking to thousands of visitors. There will also be a live TV broadcast of the event, so if you have a really-really-really good cable TV package check it out.
