Hi Team,
I would like to attend this program on August 04, 2011 in New Delhi.
Let me know the next steps.
Thanks,
Vijay
Vijay, do mail me your number or call me @ 9810024276.
Please see that the same will be conducted in hyderabad also. It appears to me that including FPSB, all the senior professionals have been conducting the CFP related seminars in north india( mumbai), but not in south india( hyderabad).
When compared to Mumbai, the awarnes about FP and WM is quite less in south India. Could you look at south india, so that it will also get some rays from senior professionals and FPSB.
I would like to attend in Mumbai. I am not yet a CFP, on the way for the same.
Please update me.
