Our Location: NIIT University

The 100-acre NIIT University (NU) campus in Neemrana, Rajasthan, is among the greenest and most eco-friendly campuses in the country today. Built to suit the terrain and climate, they continually striving to minimise their carbon footprint. The college buildings and residential dorms are cooled through a unique pioneering initiative called ‘Green Air-conditioning’ using Earth Air Tunnels. Other sustainability initiatives include the walk-only campus, as well as reforestation measures using local tree species, drip irrigation, and water, wastepaper and kitchen-waste recycling.

Our main meeting room will be large and spacious, with breakout spaces available both indoors and outdoors.

The workshop is 4.5 days and runs 9am - 6pm on July 3-6 and 9am to 12pm on July 7.

Special Event

One special evening (July 5) is planned at Neemrana Fort Palace. Originally built in 1464 and extensively restored in the 1990s, our evening at Neemrana Fort Palace will offer a unique cultural experience, delicious dinner, and lots of opportunities for friendship, laughter, and meaningful connection.

This special event includes transportation to and from the location, dinner, and cultural entertainment. It is possible for individuals to purchase alcoholic beverages at their own cost.


 

Acclimatization Days

Especially for international guests, we recommend to arrive in Delhi between June 28 and July 1. These acclimatization days will help to overcome jetlag, get used to the climate, and provide the opportunity for spending time together with fellow participants before we begin.

No later than June 1, we will be providing recommendations for a good hotel in Delhi with special pricing for participants to book directly for your pre-workshop accommodations. A couple of tourism options will be organized by the workshop sponsors with a tour company for participants to attend on these acclimatization days, again at your own cost. The tourism options offered as packages will be those that are for day trips only with participants returning to the hotel for the night - keeping you up and active during the day while sleeping in the same room each night. Details are still being organized. As a sample of possible tourism activities it can be activities like seeing the Taj Mahal as well as local experiences including a shopping excursion that is safe for international guests.
