 My question is how this event is different than ANA event that takes place every year? ANA also have cultural shows, concerts with popular singers. dj program, sports, forums, exhibitions, movie and vendors. Also how this event going to be better quality when the organizers are doing event this big event for first time in their life. I am interested to attend with some friends but I want to know what is main goal of this event. What percentage goes to charity? If organiser could clarify, that would help to decide whether to attend this event or not with my friens. Thanks.

Dear Sanu_Nepali, 
It's a very valid question. Our objective is to bring the Nepali community together and EDUCATE, ENGAGE, & ENTERTAIN. 
Our line up of programs are very similar to ANA. What differs us is the quality. A few reasons why it will be better. Our team members have been organizing events for a long time. When I was in college I myself used to organize events for for an entire week during international week where we used to have over 11000 people attending just in one day. Similarly, my other team members have been organizing a variety of events such as sports tournament, parties, concert etc. We just recently successfully organized Global Nepal Fest and 1974 AD Concert in Washington DC.  So organzing big events is not new to our team. 
We are doing this for profit so we have to make sure that the event is of the highest quality as we very much anticipate doing Nepalese SummerFest year after year. If we don't do it well, there is no reason for people to come back another year.We are non political and our focus has been guest satisfaction. Being non poitical helps us in making our decision faster and execute them. We have been working on it since August of 2011 so a lot of planning and work has gone into it. We have high standards for ourselves and we do things accordingly so I'm very confident Nepalese SummerFest will be a quality event. 
It's out first year so it might not be perfect but we need your support and suggestion from the very early on to make it close to perfect. 
Regarding Charity, we have internal contracts with some non profit partners which they will disclose after the event is over. We are providing free booths and revenue from raffle sale to non profits. How much money they get will depend on you and everyone else's effort in making Nepalese SummerFest a grand success. Support our programs, buy raffles and I can assure you that it will have a great impact! 
I hope to see you and your friends at Nepalese SummerFest. 
Please feel free to ask us if you have any other questions and thank you so much for your interest. 

Cheers! 
Nepalese SummerFest Team, 

I think they want to prove that ANA is always on loss despite thousands of people attend. Top brass stay on sutes for free..

I think these folks want to prove that there are people in US who can organize same type of program like ANA who are organizing for past 29 years and always on loss, can make profit and run a company and some portion can be distrubited to the so called - NFP (not for profit) organizations.


I am also planning to attend but at the same time there is another convention of engineers and haven't yet decided which one to attend.

AWESOME LINE UP !!! NEPATHYA... AYURVEDA... PHIROJ DAI.. DEEPESH K. BHATTARAI...  ... CAN'T WAIT FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 

Great to see more functions like the ANA going on this year.

ANA is giving $3000 each to winners of basketball and soccer this year. They have also announced a grand prize of $10,000 to winners of soccer 3 times in a row.

Is Nepalese summerfest giving any cash prizes too or is it only for the organizers own profit only?

 Really.. its funny how ANA doesn't have accountability for $60,000 that went missing... and has the money to offer that much in cash prizes ... Makes you really think what they are trying to do  

I KNEW cutenepaligirl would show up. 

Wish i could attend nepali summerfest. Anywez you guyz have my moral support. I just have a question regarding safety. Coz each time i went to ANA, i see lots of ppl behaving badly n getting into fights.

I have to agree with CuteNepaliGirl here: Where's the accountability of ANA?  Instead, they are moving ahead with the ANA convention this year as if nothing happened in the past with similar themes and disillusioned membership. But I think the onus is on us, the nepali Diaspora, to voice our concern and make them accountable.

Nepalese Summerfest did not have to mirror ANA events, and would have been worthwhile to build a niche on creative platforms, but I support them considering it is being organized by the young professionals of our community,  are apolitical, and are transparent about their mission and goals. They need our support rather than blindly questioning them!

I am not going to either of the programs. They look exactly the same. For the ones who attend either or both the programs, ENJOY.

 i plan on attending along with my friends from alaska, hawaii, puerto rico, and all over other parts of the US of A.

best party of the summer...don't miss it!

Thank you so much Snurp & Party_nepal for your support. Hope to see you and your friends at the event.

Aren't you the same guys who organized "Mitho Bhetghat" during ANA last year ?

How come you're not organizing any such event or any "dating event" for young professionals ?

I am pretty sure there are tons of young proessionals in the area who would like to attend such event, maybe ?

If it ("Mitho bhet ghat") was such a big hit (that's what they said last year), why not at your own premises ?

I think you guys should focus this program with a little different perspective than usual "DJ Night", "unplugged night", or any other "back to school night".
Why not doing different workshops or job outlook event by inviting different professionals who can give idea on how to hunt job, skills needed etc.

I hope i get to see some great events/workshops rather than people displaying "Wai Wai" packets in the booth. :)
