We Did It!

We finally did it last Saturday.  I was thinking of calling off the meet just a week before the date of event. We had only 4 students and 2 alumni signed up for the event. Why?
  • It was a long weekend
  • We started sending emails just 10 days before the event because the place where he event was originally planned backed out at the last moment and we had to look for a new place. People had made their plans for the weekend by then
  • Chinese MBA Conference was being held at Harvard Business School on the same day
But fortunately, it worked out well. We had a decent number of people show up. Met some interesting people and made good connections. I had never organized any event earlier, so it was a great learning experience for me. I'm sure the next alumni event will be much better.

Oh, and not to forget, I gave my first little impromptu speech as the President of the Asian Business Club :)
