International MBA Brewery Tour and Speaker Event

MIT Alumni Club of South Africa
Chicago Booth Alumni Club of South Africa

June 30, 2009: 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM

You may have been missing I-MBA Happy Hour, or perhaps you have not yet had a chance to join in the fun...well the good news is that a number of representatives of top bschool alumni clubs in Joburg have gotten together to give Happy Hour a step up this year! Events will be organised and hosted by different schools on a rotational basis, and should have a little more substance than *just* getting together for drinks – although rest assured I am sure we will find occasion for 1 or 2 regular happy hours during the year! MIT/Sloan and South African Breweries are hosting the first event.
