We are pleased to invite you to our second Aalto University alumni get-together in Seattle! After the success of our first event in March 2024, we are excited to gather again and welcome even more of our alumni and friends. 

We are happy to have our Associate Vice President, Hannu Seristö, hosting the event. Hannu will deliver the latest news and advancements in Aalto's research and education, providing you with an insider's view of our university's continued progress and achievements. 

Additionally, we are excited to have our alum, Yannis Paniaras, Principal Design Lead at Microsoft, share his insights on the transformative impact of AI on design. 

This event is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni, expand your network, and celebrate the shared experiences. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and warmly welcoming new ones to our growing alumni community. 

Refreshments and light snacks will be provided and the dress code is business casual. 

Please RSVP by January 31, 2025 to ensure your place at this exciting gathering. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
