In memoriam - Ghulam Naqshband
10 March 2010
Doyen of the Indian meetings business, industry pioneer, and great friend to ICCA, our Honorary Member Ghulam Naqshband sadly passed away on 5 March 2010 in Delhi at the venerable age of 86, having been actively working on projects until the last. Ghulam, a past Board member and Vice President of ICCA, was so looking forward to attending this year's Congress in Hyderabad, which in many ways represented the culmination of all he had worked for throughout his long and distinguished career, an event which is a symbol that India is finally becoming recognised as a great international destination for meetings.
Ghulam will be remembered as one of the industry's true gentlemen, a mentor to many of today's leading professionals, a great ambassador for his country, and a loyal friend to many current and past ICCA members. He will be remembered and missed, especially by his colleagues in ICE-Integrated Conference & Event Management, and Le Passage to India.
