Nomads-led tracks emerge. The first cross-industry connections.
The fourth edition moved north to Seattle and asked the question that defined the first generation: diligence, work-life balance, and community. V. Bayarsaikhan opened with three threads from Dell.
SEATTLE — March 18–20, 2017. MNG Summit moved to the Pacific Northwest for its fourth edition, and the three-day model proved itself again. The keynote came from V. Bayarsaikhan, then a Product Manager at Dell Technologies and former Senior Product Manager at Amazon, who would later become CEO of And Global / Lend.mn. His talk was structured around three threads on the "America Success" question that defined the diaspora's first generation.
Saturday's Open Discussion panel was one of the strongest the summit had assembled: L. Ulziidelger, a Microsoft Senior Software Engineer with three patents and a Software Engineering Excellence award; E. Bolormaa from the World Bank's Climate Change Department, re-invited from her 2015 D.C. appearance; Khishigbayar Tomorbaatar, the serial entrepreneur behind Pico Greetings and Anura Music; and Temuulen Tumurbat, then a Financial Analyst at Resource Capital Funds and active board member.
Amazon, Google, and Microsoft each opened tours of their Seattle-area campuses on Friday, with the Microsoft visit drawing roughly thirty attendees and the largest Mongolian alumni network on the floor. The Sunday career fair hosted eight employers across tech, healthcare, retail, mining-finance, accounting, and marketing. Friends of Mongolia served as title sponsor.
Specific organizers still being reconstructed from the 2017 records.
