Greetings
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 10th Biennial Young Jains of America Convention held July 5-8, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in downtown Tampa, Florida. This conference is hosted by the Jain Society of Tampa Bay and Jain Society of Central Florida, and we appreciate their efforts in ensuring this is a successful and memorable time for all attending.
The conference theme is "iJain: Evolution of a Mind" and will bring together people from across the globe and provide the opportunity for connecting, learning and participation in a variety of fun, innovative and interactive activities.
For those of you who are visiting for the first time, I hope you will have the opportunity to experience the many cultural and historical attractions Tampa, Florida has to offer. Whether you visit one of our landmark attractions, ride the streetcar from Channelside to Ybor City, sample a meal at one of our fine restaurants or visit our many first-class shopping areas, we are sure you will find your stay to be an unforgettable experience. We know you will soon learn what many others have already discovered, Tampa is vibrant, full of energy and one of the greatest cities in Florida.
Again, welcome and best wishes to all those attending.
Sincerely.
