Network, connect, engage, inspire

AMBA Connect events is a series of member-focused, evening events designed to bring together student and graduate members from our ever-growing network of MBAs, MBMs and DBAs around the world.

These free events are the perfect setting for future business leaders from AMBA-accredited programmes who wish to meet and exchange insights with like-minded peers, build their professional networks and hear from business leaders, academics and thought-leaders.

This November we find ourselves in Singapore, and we invite our members from around Asia and beyond to join us for an evening of high level discussions, informative expert opinion and invaluable networking opportunities.

Join us from 6:00pm on Monday 18 November in the Level 4 Function Lounge, Singapore Management University, School of Law, 55 Armenian St, Singapore

 

 

Venue

SMU School of Law traces its origins to 2000. Then, its predecessor, the Law Department within the Lee Kong Chian School of Business, was created and headed by Professor Andrew Phang (presently Judge of Appeal). In 2007, with Professor Michael Furmston at the helm, the department became a full-fledged law school and welcomed its first batch of students to its LLB and JD programmes.
SMU School of Law has since expanded its academic offerings to include, among others, JD and LLM degrees as well as a suite of seminars for legal practitioners to obtain their CPD points under its SMU Law Academy.
