The first-ever HKU global Alumni Convention was held in Shanghai, China from November 2 to 4.
There were over 600 delegates at the Convention about half came from Hong Kong and overseas (including UK, USA, Canada Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore) and the rest were from Shanghai and other cities on the Chinese Mainland.
The Convention's theme was "Discover Shanghai . Discover China - Tomorrow Today" <<中國 . 上海 . 今天看明天>>. Through the discovery and re-discovery of Shanghai, the event provided a platform where delegates could gain insights into China's future on the world stage, and determine the role HKU Alumni can play in these critical times of change.
It was also a great networking opportunity and a special time for reunions for many of the alumni amid fine dining and fun activities. The Convention also included site visits and special tours for a closer look at different aspects of Shanghai's development and potential.
