In order to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical know-how, Gujarat Law Society’s Management Programmes have nurtured a practice, since last 12 years, of holding Annual Seminar Series featuring dignitaries from different industries and segments of the corporate world. This year, under the auspice of N R Institute of Business Management (MBA & PGDM) and GLS Institute of Computer Technology (MBA programme), Gujarat Law Society hosted an eleven day eXperts’ Opinion (XO) series, a colloquium and discussion series in diversified sectors such as Banking, Telecom, IT, Pharmaceuticals, Media, Manufacturing, Retail, Travel, Tourism and Hospitality domains.

The mode of knowledge sharing is through lecture series, round-table discussions, panel discussions coupled with formal and informal discussions with around 500 participants of management programmes across GLS and other institutes.

Every year, the institutes normally plan the colloquium, focused in 4-5 sectors. However this year the same is being executed at much larger scale, with 8 industry concentrations and 18 industry leaders sharing their wisdom with the participants.

In addition to this, institute has practice of inviting industry experts for delivering sessions on respective industries. Under this guest lecture series, institute invites professionals from varied industries such as telecom, media, banking & finance, insurance, engineering, management consultancy, IT etc to provide comprehensive corporate exposure. The guest lecture series facilitates students to recognize requirements, standard practises, and expectations of the industry in order to get equipped for their corporate career.
