The SIETAR 2008 Congress will take place from October 22 to October 26, 2008 in Granada, Spain.
In clusters of topics, the Congress will focus on:

This is a conference for both seasoned professionals and newcomers working with the issues of culture.
Globalization Paradox:
The Power of Place, Customs, and Tradition
Granada, our Congress venue, will be the starting point to explore the power of place, customs and tradition at the meeting points of different ethnic and religious communities. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, and workshops, you will have the opportunity to inquire into the paradoxes of globalism and community, as well as tradition and change around the world within your area of practice, be it business, politics, government, art, media, or education.
Professional depth and new developments
Professionals from the many fields that address cultural dynamics will present their latest research, new developments, insights, experiences and techniques in the many workshops, parallel sessions, poster sessions, exhibitions that will make up the everyday fare of the conference. Granada will be a place to renew and update old connections as well as make new ones as we deepen our knowledge of our work and our professional communities. We will gather both resources and inspiration from each other.

The congress will offer numerous professional development opportunities including certification in the use of proprietary intercultural tools and instruments INCLUDE EXAMPLES HERE, skills-focused workshops, negotiating training in cross-cultural communication as well as a job fair for young professionals, a place to both offer and find new opportunities..

The collective proceedings will be published by SIETAR.
Interaction and debate will be documented through visual recording.
Globalization Trends Impacting HR and General Management
As globalization moves businesses and organizations into greater degrees of international competition, sourcing, and collaboration, line managers and human resources professionals alike are increasingly expected to be global in their outlook and practice. The Congress provides rich and practical development opportunities to expand your effectiveness as an internationally-oriented management professional. Keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops and certification programs will address strategic and operational issues in dealing with an internationally mobile, multi-country, multi-cultural workforce. Exhibitors will display and explain a wide variety of resources for your work.
Global Citizenship
Civil society on a global scale is challenged by geographical distance, values conflicts, local and national agendas, socio-economic disparities, to name but a few issues. The Congress will provide an opportunity, for members of the social, governmental and NGO sectors to come together to share many backgrounds, explore views and share projects on global citizenship, develop leadership and intercultural skills, and be a strong voice in the conversation about the world’s future. Presentations, workshops, community interaction in Granada, discussions and other activities will be part of your experience in Granada..
Newcomers and Young Professionals in the Intercultural Field
The Congress will present an opportunity to explore a range of subjects, issues and perspectives in the intercultural world. Newcomers and young professionals in the cross-cultural field will have an opportunity to establish and understand competencies, careers and services that are key aspects of the profession. Specifically, they can engage one on one with seasoned experts who are prepared to answer their questions regarding their new career, provide them with vital career advice and help them establish a network within the international business professionals’ community
The World’s Future: Youth and Global Citizenship
SIETAR is actively soliciting sponsors to provide scholarships to enable youth and students from around the world to participate in this comprehensive and experiential learning experience. Additional sessions for youth and students will be available, and the participants will have opportunities to step into leadership at different points during the congress.
Cultures in Search of Harmony
The congress will offer presentations and resources that will help fine tune intercultural negotiating and communication skills as well as provide a network of intercultural trainers and coaches who specialize in communicating across borders. Front line workers such as peacekeepers, refugee workers, diplomats, those who do cross cultural policing, etc., will find opportunities to improve essential verbal and mental skills for interacting with diverse populations and factions in order to advance multicultural relations. Receive certifications and expand your competencies through panel discussions, presentations, workshops and one-on-one interaction with world renowned intercultural researchers and practitioners.
Emerging Realities and Trends in Globalization
Senior leaders in governments, public and private organizations, education in particular, need to understand emerging realities and trends, in order to craft effective responses to shifts in the environment. Through keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and interaction, you will have the opportunity to explore selected key issues, and their effects on business, politics, health care, ecology, migration, and other areas.
