What our past conference attendees say
Parit Aranyawat, CCDS alumnus, Chief Financial Officer and Head of Strategy, C.I.T. Corporate Limited
“The alumni regional conference in Kuala Lumpur in 2025 was a genuinely heartwarming experience, with a strong sense of camaraderie and ease in connecting with fellow alumni. In today’s AI-driven world, human connection matters even more, and it is important that we continue to reconnect, learn and grow together.”

“During the alumni regional conference in Hanoi in 2024, I was impressed by the learning visit to KiotVet. On a macro level, Hainan is also exploring the construction of a free trade port and hence we can learn from Vietnam. Meeting many outstanding alumni in different fields also gave me a new understanding of Vietnam.”

“While attending the alumni conference in Bangkok this year, I had the chance to meet NTU alumni across a wide range of fields, and hearing their career journeys was inspiring. It offers new perspectives and meaningful connections that can change the way you think about your career and your life journey.”
