The 2023 FIDI 39 Club Conference was a huge success, as always bringing together young professionals from all around the world to share experiences and knowledge. Fair to say, this one was for the books - from attendees snacking on scorpions and spiders, boxing in blazing hot weather, to an emotional presidential transfer as past president Jessica Deutschmann stepped down from the board.

Let us give you a summary of the 39C conference key events:

Day 1

The conference kicked off with a workshop: Speak like a Pro, where attendees learned valuable public speaking skills from keynote speaker Isabel Valle, Peak Performance Strategist and Leadership coach. Followed by an afternoon sporting event: Stress Relief Thai Boxing class, trained by a former Asia champion of Thai Boxing, where participants learned the basics of the sport and got a great workout in the process. Another highlight was the Itsy Bitsy Tour around the popular Chinatown where attendees got a chance to try a variety of street food and tropical fruits from different food stalls. The day wrapped up with a fantastic FIDI Party, hosted by the FIDI 39 Club at the famous nightclub, the Havana Social Club - where almost 200 conference attendees networked and socialized with one another over a couple drinks and good music.

Day 2

The FIDI 39 Club hosted Sunday Brunch to present the club’s accomplishments, 2023/24's key topics and focus areas, as well as the club’s strategy in 2025.

An elaborate presentation was carried into the next session of the conference, where FIDI 39 Club board members presented their ongoing events and projects, including the FIDI 39C scholarship programme. Attendees got a chance to hear the winning project from the winner himself, Cristian Petersen from Argenvans World Wide Removals, Argentina. More information about will be published soon. 

A delightful Q&A session took place at FIDI Future mentorship programme presentation, bringing mentors and mentees together, to get to know one another, and discuss the future of this programme.
