Delegates
The Kala Ashram International Wellness Summit (KAIWS) welcomes delegates from all over the world. Formal invitations to the summit are sent to a targeted list of people who are experts in the wellness industry. All invitees are either applied or been nominated and then approved based on their position within their organizations, their backgrounds, relevance to the summit and/or their stature as a business or thought-leader in the wellness arena or alternative medicines. Representatives from diverse wellness sectors (including Ayurveda, Panchakarma, Naturopathy, Yoga, Meditation, Mental wellness, Spiritual Wellness, Acupuncture and Moxibustion and other related discipline) are invited to attend. Every year the criteria for acceptance to the summit as a delegate may change depending on location, size of venue, theme, etc.
The KAIWS has a policy of accepting maximum upto two delegates from the same organization to attend the summit so that the summit have as many organizations as possible to be present. Those organizations that sponsors are eligible for special benefits, including the possibility of more than two people attending from the same organizations.
The KAIWS expects that all delegates present are at the leading persons in their area of expertise and industry, and that the discussions and presentations are of the highest quality. In the case of someone who is not at a senior management level, but still wishes to attend, they must register along with the approval of Owner or CEO in order to be considered. Exceptions on the above criteria’s may be made under rare circumstances and at the sole discretion of summit leadership.

If multiple invitees from a single organization would really like to attend, each invitee must register individually at the total delegate rate. The spouse rate can’t be applied towards a family member, business partner or other employee.
