2020 off to a big start for our Global Networks

January is traditionally a quiet month at home in Australia, but it was a busy time for our global networks, with 6 events held across the world.

From Singapore and Seoul, to Athens and London and across the globe to New York and Toronto, alumni networks came together to kickstart a new year and a new decade. Events included:

  • Speed Networking in Singapore – Thursday 16 January
  • Annual Kickoff in Seoul – Friday 17 January
  • Pop-Up Networking Drinks in New York – Monday 27 January
  • Alumni Networking Dinner in Athens – Thursday 30 January
  • Alumni Network Drinks in Toronto – Friday 31 January
  • Pop-Up Networking Drinks in London – Friday 31 January

Alumni networking in Toronto

“The first  Macquarie Alumni event held for the Canadian network in Toronto was a success by all measures,” said Paul Chang (BSc 2006, PDMarketMgmt 2012, MMgt 2014, MBA 2017), network leader in Canada.  “We had a great turnout on a cold winter’s night at Batch House in downtown Toronto, and in a country where many alumni are scattered in different cities across Canada. Everyone had an interesting story to tell – some studied at Macquarie as international students, some moved from Australia to Canada after studies, and there were even two sets of couples who met during their time at Macquarie.

I would love to see this network grow, to hear more of these fascinating stories, and for us to build a strong community from our shared experiences which have been pivotal for so many of us. If you are in Canada, please register with the Macquarie Alumni team and join the LinkedIn group so we can find out more about you, and hopefully we’ll hear your story at the next event.”

“It was great to meet new alumni from Macquarie, including MGSM, at the recent networking event in New York City,” said New York resident and US network leader, Roger Woodend (MBA 2009).  “The breadth of the Alumni network in New York, and North America, is very impressive and I look forward to keeping the momentum going with future events. These events are a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about some of the amazing things our alumni are doing globally. I’d encourage alumni to get involved.  Our next event will be in mid-June 2020.”
