| It is my great
pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the City of Oulu, to the second Expat
Oulu Conference on Friday September 7 and Saturday September 8, 2007. International Professionals from all over the world will
be attending this two day event. Speakers representing governments, health
institutions as well as academics and researchers will present and discuss the
latest topics in global and local expatriate strategies.
The selected topics for this year are: living in Oulu, global employee
mobility and practices, health management for successful adjustment and cultural
awareness. The event involves advanced lectures, workshops, a business forum
breakfast and an international marketplace.
The Expat Oulu Conference is part of the Expatriate Family Adjustment Project
(EFA), which was launched in October 2003. The project evolved as a partnership
between the business community, the European Social Fund and the City of Oulu.
Its objective is to guide newcomers, enabling them to adjust and prosper in
their new environment.
The conference is a wonderful opportunity for getting more information and
insights on expatriate life and  meeting people with similar interests and
experiences.
I am looking forward to meeting you in Oulu in September at what promises to
be a very enjoyable event!
