Qimpro Convention 2009 was successfully convened on 17 & 18 September 2009, at Taj President in Mumbai, with an attendance of over 100 delegates.
In its 21st year, the Convention received 62 projects which were assessed by 2 Panels of Examiners of 50 subject-matter experts. 22 shortlisted projects were then evaluated by 2 independent Panels of Judges to decide the winners.
The highlight of the event was a refreshing lecture by the humble Mumbai Dabbawalas on efficient work processes and ethics.
