At the end of the week, I attended the AIESEC Alumni International Meeting. For four days we have had the chance to get to know Russia, several companies and many active and former AIESECers. Germany was represented by 9 delegates.
On Thursday, it started with several lectures on the Russian economy followed by a panel discussion. In the evening, we joined the 64th International Congress for dinner, Alumni Hall of Fame and Russian Night. After awarding several alumni for their work, the cultural programme with dances, music and culinary stalls started.
Also the next day was orchestrated by the Russian alumni and we went to the Skolkovo School of Management. There we could participate in two workshop rounds by the partners of the International Congress - I joined the Legacy of Sochi (PwC) and Industry and Government Relations (Sun InBev). In between, Evgeniya introduced several Russian alumni and their businesses.
The weekend was dedicated to the progress of the international organisation - the international board prepared several lectures and worshops on alumni programmes, membership and communication. In the evening, we got ready for the gala dinner that took place at Afiamall. The dinner hall was towered by big matroschkas who witnessed together with us the handover of the UBS awards to the best AIESEC countries.
On the last day, we had a sleep in - finally! Then Michaela from AIESEC International gave a speech on the alumni strategy. The closing was very emotional and we thanked the organising committee for a unforgettable event.
I had to leave early as my flight was scheduled for departure in the afternoon - to get to Domodedovo I had to take the metro and then the AeroExpress. I missed the one I wanted to catch seeing just the taillights. Nonetheless, I made it in time to check-in, had a fast lane through security and then nearly missed the flight as my gate was hidden behind a long queue of passengers on the way to Vienna.
