WorkInSriLanka (WISL) will be holding a Quarterly Meet-Up today, 15 March, as its first event of the year.

This is a networking event, exclusively for professionals who have recently moved to Sri Lanka or those who are thinking of moving in the near future. It will be an ideal place to discuss the opportunities and challenges of living in Sri Lanka, while connecting with industry representatives.

WISL has conducted three successful annual conferences along with several Quarterly Meet-Ups since its launch in May 2013. Established as a volunteer-run brain-gain initiative, WISL offers comprehensive information on careers, living, education, housing and visa requirements for the Sri Lankan expat community as well as non-Sri Lankans through its website and actively engages with them through informal forums such as the quarterly meet-ups.

The WISL conference in December 2015, held under the theme of ‘Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges’ brought together recent returnees, expats living in Sri Lanka, investors, and industry experts to discuss the opportunities and challenges in making Sri Lanka the world’s’ preferred work destination.

The conference saw the participation of officials from the Government and private sectors strategising to build a stronger brain gain platform for the country. The event proved to be a great networking opportunity for companies and prospective candidates.
