Under the theme “Is this time to put human touch in AI-driven world?”, the event provided a dynamic platform for the RMIT alumni community to reconnect, forge new connections, and collectively celebrate RMIT Vietnam’s 25th anniversary.

These interactive sessions fostered a rich exchange of ideas, demonstrating the power of collaborative thinking and the depth of knowledge within the RMIT alumni network. The energy and enthusiasm in these groups were palpable, creating an environment where every voice was heard and valued.

The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the real-world experience shared by our esteemed guest speaker, Ms. Linh Le, Project Manager from FPT Software.

Attendees gained invaluable practical insights, understanding the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in a professional context. Her candid sharing resonated deeply with the audience, providing actionable takeaways and sparking further thought on adapting to the evolving technological landscape.

Beyond the structured discussions, the event truly excelled as a celebration of community.

The atmosphere was one of camaraderie and shared celebration, marking 25 years of RMIT Vietnam’s impactful journey. The free-flow of canapes and drinks further enhanced the convivial ambiance, allowing for relaxed and meaningful interactions.
