First of all, fantastic idea! We've needed this type of event for a while now. Muchos gracias.

I'd like to tack on a couple of things to this thread since most of us are speaking our minds and sharing words of wisdom (or the lack thereof):

• People ARE entitled to turn their ideas into money-making machines. This might not be the case for Mitho Bhet Ghat but I don't see why anybody would have a problem with people making money for generating and implementing a novel idea (at least in the Nepali social arena). Butt the F out (pardon my French).
   
• As far as suggestions go (and I know how annoying it must get for you guys when people go..."oh do this and don't do that") but heck I'm going to go for it anyway, IF it's not too late, that is: teaming people up according to thier academic and/or professional accomplishments might not be a bad idea. I do see that it might be a tad impractical but if I were to attend the event, I'd certainly want to come across women who have made something of themselves or are well on their way to doing so. Grouping people by age is definitely a good idea though.

Ahh, would have loved to come had it not been so far away!
