Day 4 - Monday 20-Oct-2014 #ibmcsc
After a warm welcome by DOT (Digital Opportunity Trust) - NGO supporting the CSC team & Ceyhun - IBM Turkey over the weekend, it was "Showtime" for the sub teams to meet with our clients at a common kick-off event at Kadir Has University.
We reached at the University about an hour prior to event (And I must say, Istanbul traffic helped us a lot :-) ). With adrenaline rush & the anxiety, we all were waiting at the cafeteria of the University, trying to remember few initial Turkish words that we had mugged up. University campus was beautiful on looking Bosphorous.
And the meeting started at a conference and it went very well, as planned. All participants introduced themselves and presented their work plan, including clients of all sub-teams.
It was an extremely proud moment to be part of such a culturally diverse group representing IBM for a social cause.

Day continued with a meeting at TUSIAD (our sub-team's client) members as well as Mr. Gyokhan Yucel - former adviser to Ministry of Education, Turkey.
After a hectic day, it was utmost satisfaction to have met eminent personalities of Turkey, socialized more with IBM fellow members and getting acclimatized with culture of Turkey !!
Teşekkür (Thank you) !
