The SMU Travel and Hospitality Alumni Group kicked off the year with a cosy gathering at the SMU University Lounge on 9th February 2017! We were delighted to spend quality catch-up time with some familiar faces and also welcome new joiners. It was an eventful night spent sharing updates in each industry and learning more about the latest trends and happenings over an intimate informal session.
Most importantly, the Executive Committee shared their upcoming events line up for the year, which had everyone excited and already looking forward to the meeting. Here's a sneak peek into the major pipeline events this year, with special emphasis on the upcoming one.
In May or June, the alumni is organising a half day Designer Hotel Hopping Tour around Singapore, exploring four uniquely designed hotels including the newly converted JW Marriott, recently opened Oasia Hotel, Philippe Starck-designed M Social and highly raved The Warehouse Hotel. Through the tour, get ready to explore the intricate concepts, get a peek into boutique hotel operations and of course, meet the hospitable hotel teams! We will arrange for a pit stop lunch and wrap up the event with networking drinks at The Warehouse lobby bar. Detailed itinerary and tickets to come soon.
In August, we will also be collaborating with the SMU Office of Alumni Relations on hosting the SMU Travel and Hospitality Industry Night. In the month of October, we will be running the second instalment of our SMU Travel & Hospitality Leadership Series and planning company visits as well.
