In early November, alumni gathered at a local beer bar in Beijing. This was hosted by International Alumni Ambassadors Charles Li and Charlie Williams. Everyone enjoyed a meal and drinks and catching up with friends and forming new connections. The group was keen to organise future events and were already planning their next meet-up.
